WTF is wrong with paper ballots and hand-counting? You can't hack those! That's how they did Brexit - and put out results overnight.

As for micro-soft - they've always needed pills. It's even in their name.



Belief is for wimps and mental midgets!

Poor micro-soft.

Too small to please a woman and couldn't do anything with it even if it was bigger.

Womp Womp.

Urban Dictionary: cuck

More evidence Jack trolls across the internet. It's how he and kiki come across new ways of insulting others. I fear it's all a rube can do these days.

Whenever I see people commenting on a video or a news site in real time, or past tense, I'll fondly think of you guys.

Microsoft is trying to help. Trying to protect the integrity of our elections. All you two can do is troll. Get a life, it’s very sad.

There’s no explanation for the new Bloomberg

Today we see on television a new Bloomberg who wants to defend and expand the ACA, loves Obama, and puts himself forward as the would-be savior of mainstream Democrats from the menace of Bernie-ism.

Throughout his current campaign, Bloomberg has offered no explanation for this wholesale makeover of his thinking on economic policy issues and the legacy of the Obama administration. Of course, the reasons for it aren’t mysterious.

Bloomberg said at the Bermuda Executive Forum in March 2019 that he couldn’t run for president because “it’s just not going to happen on a national level for somebody like me starting where I am unless I was willing to change all my views and go on what CNN called an apology tour.”

Then eventually, he decided he did want to run after all, so he went and changed all his views. But he didn’t want to do the apology tour, so instead of going on television and discussing in detail who or what is driving his current thinking, he’s mostly avoided questions from the press and let his ads speak for themselves. The debate was his first big encounter on a level playing field, and it was a disaster — a disaster that somehow managed to barely scratch the surface of some of the content of his record. We didn’t hear about his unapologetic support for the invasion of Iraq or the intrusive surveillance of Muslim New Yorkers during his time in office.

Most likely Bloomberg would largely stick to his new policy positions if he became president, but there’s just no compelling reason for mainstream Democrats to chance it. There’s nothing really to his campaign except money.

If Bloomberg wants to spend big on beating Trump, he should spend big

All that said, Bloomberg is by all indications sincerely outraged by Trump and his presidency.

He’s long been a generous donor to climate change and gun control causes, and since Trump’s election he’s been a singularly partisan benefactor of Trump’s opponents. The fact that Bloomberg’s actual political beliefs are not that progressive overall makes this more rather than less admirable. There are lots of rich businessmen in America who have some qualms about Trump but are happy to support him because they think low taxes and business-friendly regulation are more important than the rule of law. Bloomberg is the opposite — a person who’s been willing to put cash on the line to help stop a president he sees as dangerous even though he’s not in love with his opponents’ ideas on many issues.

But if this is the admirable side of Bloomberg, then he ought to go back to doing what he was doing a year ago — spending money in admirable ways and winning admiration for it.

There’s just no reason he should be a presidential nominee. He’s a stiff, incompetent political performer with a record in office that’s so-so at best and who is aware that what seem to be his authentic policy views are too politically toxic to run on. The simplest, best solution to that is the one he hit on last March: don’t run.

We were having a laugh at Microsoft's unfortunate name, but now that you bring it up the definition of cuck certainly applies to you as well.

Hey. Once in a while, Vox writes an article that makes a little bit of sense.

Then again, as far as betting odds are concerned, with Yang out of the race Bloomberg remains the only candidate up there that isn't an underdog against Trump.

Because Bloomberg is trying to move the DNC back to representing transnational business while pretending to represent "the people" AKA the Bill Clinton "new Democrat" model. Proving once again that the DNC represents the working and middle class about as much as a cockroach does.

Gallup poll has Trump approval at 49% and disapproval at 48%.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/203207/trump-job-approval-weekly.aspx

Emerson's recent poll has Trump at +4.

The RCP aggregate has Trump at 46%, which is the highest it's been since his inauguration. And that's even including the ridiculous Economist, Reuters and Politico polls that show him at -11 and -12.

Betting Odds have Trump a solid favorite for both the Electoral College and the Popular Vote, with his chances at winning 65% and 60% respectively with both.


You idiots feel that November election slipping away from you yet?


No?


Don't worry. You will. Things are only going to get worse for Democrats.

And once the General debates start, Trump is going to demolish whatever moron you guys nominate. And 30% of what's left of your party after all the defectors leave isn't even going to go out to vote for whoever you choose.
