I see it like this...


When these scientists can predict the weather, yes just the weather, accurately for a week in advance... THEN I'll start being concerned about their 'years in advance' predictions.

I mean, accurate predictions 2 days in advance would be nice. I see predictions that are drastically wrong, repeatedly. This is WITH our best technology, best models and best people. How the HELL can we accurately predict what will happen 10 years from now.
Short answer is... we can't. We can't even get close.

"Well, I guess we can scratch Trump off the list." - Democrats, in the fall of 2015.

We shouldnt underestimate the guy. I dont think his loose and badly thought out comments will hurt Beto all that much.

It really doesn't matter when Beto's platform is to insult the largest racial group in the US, now does it. :/

You're blowing his comments out of proportion. And the democrats are betting that they only need minorities and "woke" privileged whites anyway to win the election. Those whites who would take offense in these comments arent part of their calculus anyway. Whether this calculus will work out remains to be seen.

I don't care whether whites are "woke" or not. For the past two years, the entire left has been slamming whites, for this, that and everything else. They still make up 61% of this country.


I really don't care if the Dems or the Reps win, but I can pretty much assure you that whoever wins, won't be one of the whites slammers.




/e Btw, this baby bond crap won't fly. "We have 18 years to think of a way to pay for it", isn't gonna grab any interest from people who are even awake. As in not actually sleeping.

He's everything (D) hates right now - which is hilarious. A privileged white male who had a very comfortable upbringing thanks to his father. Married into a wealthy family with real estate holdings. Had a crime swept under the rug(DUI) back in the day with somewhat credible ties to computer hacking as well.

i don't think he checks enough boxes in the identity politics department. He won't last. The only white male who could survive the upcoming democratic primary is the one and only Joe Biden. That's because he'll be peddled as an extension of their lord and savior - Obama.
