(C)linton camp puts up massive barriers outside her Chappaqua home as she recovers from pneumonia

some sort of a wall, if you will. interesting idea.
wouldn't want any accidental truth-tellers being able to document inconvenient truths again.


at least both parties now agree that walls can be useful

Think they'd be able to get people out to vote for candidates who haven't been campaigning?


To be clear, I think it's unlikely Clinton drops out of the race.

But if Clinton was replaced with Biden or Kaine, Trump would likely become the favorite.

There is a lot of be said for party loyalty, though. Democrats like Biden and Kaine would probably still do much better with Blacks, Hispanics and women than Trump, albeit not as good as Clinton.

It's obviously a situation the DNC wants to avoid at all costs, though, because as you pointed out, either of those two options (Biden and Kaine) would not have been campaigning for that long.

Like I said: professional courtesy. You don't make bets this late after each other (the operatives) have gone into the field. It's bad form. People want to know where everyone is (and isn't) working before they bet on candidates because that's very important into determining who's going to win.


So bet with a trustworthy bookie ;)

Sorry lol I don't care if you bet or not so I'll stop bugging you, just saying if you really think they are good odds then why pass up free cash?

Some things are more important than money to me -- wouldn't want to damage my reputation among my network. I've built up a lot of goodwill among D/R/Is and that would ruin it. I'm going to make more than enough money from my bets, not to mention just the actual doing of my job.

Bernie Sanders isn't a communist, he's a social democrat. It's like 90% capitalist with a few socialist policies thrown in, largely in monopolies or industries with significant monopoly power, i.e. healthcare, energy, railways and so on. Educate yourself instead of using buzzwords you see other people use.

no he's more than that "free" colleges and drastic increases in minimum wage -- it's disgusting
/e combine his plans of heavily taxing the rich who invest and create workplaces with drastic spikes in minimum wage the number of jobs will plummet
