That people dont have common sense.Unfortunately common sense isn't all that common.What's your beef?I just want him to appeal to common sense.Joe Scarborough making a convincing argument this morning about why Bernie should appeal to conservatives.
Yes, when hillary talks about her foreign policy experience, he should say she is great at it and will appoint her like obama did.OK gotcha. Anything you think he should be doing differently?That people dont have common sense.Unfortunately common sense isn't all that common.What's your beef?I just want him to appeal to common sense.Joe Scarborough making a convincing argument this morning about why Bernie should appeal to conservatives.
Funny....there seems to be something wrong with your math, or your understanding of how higher rates phase in. 5 million and 1 would pay a whole dime more than 4,999,999. Hitting a higher bracket doesn't increase the taxes on the first taxable dollar, only on the last and going upward.Ministry of Pain said:
im going to be honest and say I have zero clue how tax brackets work. Anyway to give me the idiots guide.
For simplicity imagine there are two tax brackets:
I don't think he's quite going to get over the finish line, but hopefully he paves the way for a better way to do politics in the future.
I saw this last night at 2am. If Bernie pulls off the +30% win in NH, it will be very interesting to see if that South Carolina firewall holds.
I feel pretty safe making it.
Remarkable accomplishment for Bernie.
First of all yes that poll is HUGE. That is a 29 point drop by Hillary in a month.
I saw a chart the other day that had stuff like:
That's the other amazing aspect to this contest - that it has exposed how biased CNN, MSNBC and the NYT are in their support for Clinton. Just flat out ignore Bernie until they're forced to report on him.
The media clearly has an oversized voice in the process and it's even more impactful than money IMHO.
One Republican strategist floats this 2-3 state BS and Tim runs with it. OK, name the 2 or 3. You previously said Vermont, Massachusetts and California (though that one's up for grabs).JerseyToughGuys said:timschochet said:
Yeah they all love Hillary. That's why all summer and half the fall were wall to wall email crap and questions about Hillary's campaign troubles. Man some of you guys have short memories.
Yes. And I didn't just run with one guy. I could link you lots of people if you want. In fact it's hard for me to find any any known analyst on either side who doesn't think Bernie gets trounced- there are a few, but I suspect they're simply looking for a good splash or are highly leftist.One Republican strategist floats this 2-3 state BS and Tim runs with it.

Here is the list of 19 states that have gone for the Democratic candidate for at least the last 6 consecutive elections.
D since 92: California; Connecticut; Delaware; Illinois; Maine; Maryland; Michigan; New Jersey; Pennsylvania; Rhode Island; Vermont
D since 88: Hawaii; Massachusetts; New York; Oregon; Washington; Wisconsin
D since 76: Minnesota
D since 64: DC
You're going to tell me any one of these states is going to vote for Cruz or Rubio (let alone Trump)?
Nothing personal, but you're wrong on most issues. Not surprising that you and Gunz are birds of the same feather.Yes.And I didn't just run with one guy. I could link you lots of people if you want.

Of course I could be wrong, and if he wins the nomination I hope I am. But I hope more we never have to find out.
Shark.
Another issue has popped up for Bernie - apparently Michigan is on Spring Break the day of their primary. Not sure what percentage of kids head out of state, but given that Bernie draws a lot of support from college-age students, it could have an impact....
There are plenty of idiots in America, but even so I highly doubt that most would agree that the business model of Wall Street is fraud. That's very different from saying that fraud contributed to the meltdown.
I've said in the past that going below 50 is a huge problem for Hillary. She's the most famous woman in America. Despite introducing and re-introducing herself multiple times in recent years, there's really nobody that doesn't already know who she is and doesn't have an opinion on her fitness for the Presidency. If she's now really below 50, it's not like a bunch of people are going to suddenly find out about her and swell the ranks of her supporters. At that point, it's hard to know where any additional votes for her are going to come from.
after her disgusting lies about bernie on derivatives and dismantling health care. she remind's my of emperor palpatine's cries to anakin "i'm too weak" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1TTN-Ev2KI
I've only voted for ralph nader and jill stein in my lifetime for president, I would love go to the polls on election day and vote for a progressive democrat!
He has had influence even if he doesn't win but he should have imposed some kind of conditions in order for him to endorse Hillary. He has a senate career though and although more outspoken about Democratic Party failures than any Democrat he does not like to throw the party under the bus.I don't think he's quite going to get over the finish line, but hopefully he paves the way for a better way to do politics in the future.
If Bernie wins next elections the party will make the super delegates 51% of delegates. Forces are usually stacked against a progressive that's why I think George McGovern winning the 72 primary and more delegates although he had less of the national popular vote than Humphrey is one of the cooler political stories. He had worked on the commission for how delegates would be awarded in the prior years.
