Sanders is the second choice of more Biden supporters than Buttigieg, Klobuchar, or Bloomberg. For many Democrats this election is more about electability than ideology. If Biden’s campaign collapses in next few weeks, Sanders, as the frontrunner, will benefit most.

Bloomberg has just now qualified for the debate to take place tomorrow in Las Vegas. He hit 19 percent in a national poll released this morning, by far his highest level of support to date and second only to Sanders. He needed 10 percent to qualify. His campaign has said he will attend the...

The reason he hasn’t been in a debate is because thus far he hasn’t been eligible. The next debate is in Las Vegas February 19. Bloomberg needs one more qualifying poll (10 percent support nationally) to be eligible. If he actually qualifies for a debate and refuses to attend, then you can...

Ladders are, in fact, being used extensively to scale border walls. They’re just not the extension ladders you imagine. Some are made from rope, but most are fashioned from rebar, cheap to make, and blend in nicely with the rust-colored border walls. "Smugglers in Juárez have engineered...

Sanford ended his campaign months ago, back in November. As far as I know, Bill Weld, former Republican governor of Massachusetts, is the only active primary challenger to Trump. He got just over 9 percent of the vote in New Hampshire last Tuesday.

Food stamp purchases are not made with actual stamps but with a plastic EBT (electronic benefits transfer) card similar to a debit or credit card. At a grocery store you enter your pin number, swipe the card at the same terminal as everybody else and get your receipt. The vast majority of fellow...

Now you’re just being a prick. He never said savings account. He said bank account. Many banks offer investment services. I clarified the type of account and detailed the argument. The point of the argument is push back against Trump’s claim to be a brilliant businessman by stating he could have...

Thriller confused bank account with brokerage account. The actual argument is that if Trump had simply put the millions he received from his father into S&P 500 funds he could have ended up with twice his current wealth. The argument stems from Warren Buffett’s famous advice for low information...

Virtual reality will be a massive growth sector over the next decade but is just one aspect of immersive technology. AR (augmented reality) and MR (mixed reality) sectors have even more potential. In ten years the combined market size for immersive technologies could easily approach a trillion...

There is an excellent article in the current issue of The Atlantic by Adam Serwer on Trump’s corruption and the necessity for his impeachment. I'll quote at some length but it is well worth the ten or fifteen minutes to read the full article here...

It’s now a virtual certainly Trump will be impeached by the House and almost as certain he will be acquitted by the Senate. The House requires a simple majority to impeach and the Senate a two-thirds majority to convict. Both the vote to impeach and the vote to acquit will be along partisan...

All in on investigating any and all aspects of Clinton’s relationship to Epstein. The portrait, however, probably says more about Epstein’s weird and creepy taste in home decor than anything about Clinton. https://www.thecut.com/2019/08/the-creepy-dcor-in-jeffrey-epsteins-nyc-house.html

Just to clarify, the Bill Clinton in a dress meme is an art student’s painting, a satirical portrait from the artist’s imagination, not a real actual picture of Clinton.

Campaigning for president, no matter the party or the candidate, is always more about showing voters where your heart is at rather than specific policy details. Warren is just letting Democratic primary voters know what she would like to happen in an abstract, best of all possible worlds. Actual...

If Warren becomes president her medicare-for-all plan will never be enacted as proposed. She and her campaign know what’s possible to pass the House and Senate and what is not. They really just want to shift the Overton Window (expand acceptable possibilities). What actually could happen is...

I much preferred Sanders over Clinton in the 2016 primaries, but the fact is Clinton won in a landslide, 16.8 million votes to 13.2 million for Sanders or 55 percent to 43 percent. Superdelegates did not decide the nomination, Democratic voters did, and by a wide margin.

Convicted for multiple counts of criminal fraud, sentenced to, I believe, six years in prison, personal friend of Trump who pardoned him just last May. So, not exactly the most objective commentator in regards to anything Trump.

Robert Forster. Just saw him in El Camino, the Breaking Bad sequel. Also very good in Tarantino’s Jackie Brown.

You know, I don’t believe your pretense. Traitor has been inexorably linked to treason since Benedict Arnold. That’s the common usage. As for false generalizations, I wasn’t comparing everyone who calls someone a traitor to Trump. I was comparing you, and your usage in this thread, to Trump. Not...

I was thinking more of discussions either in person or here on Jazzfazz. No reason to barge in and interrupt a stranger’s lunch no matter what kind of hat they’re wearing. That’s just needlessly rude behavior.
