I will keep doing, but not worth it! The 2016 Presidential Primary Voting Thread

Hillary should use something from Tusk for her theme song. "I Know I'm Not Wrong" maybe.

I was gonna say "Walk a Thin Line"

Bill has lost the Old Magic on the stump

He's just not as motivated as he was when it was his own campaign. Put him in front of a convention crowd and big television audience and he'll be Elvis again.

from goole's quote: "the party as a whole... decided to cajole all viable non-Clinton candidates out of the race. This had the effect of making a Clinton victory much more likely than it would have been in a scenario when she was facing off against Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, and Deval Patrick."

So are we now supposed to take it as given that Warren, Biden, and Patrick were "cajoled" out of the race (vs. making their own choices for their own reasons)? Isn't that kind of like saying the 1961 Cubs woulda won the World Series, if only they'd signed Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, and Yogi Berra? FWIW Clinton might also be less likely to defeat Zombie Gandhi as well.

interesting that Hillary took Des Moines, figured Sanders would've had the advantage there

DSM is the Big City but apart from Drake and idk DMACC there aren't any colleges there, just saying

i need to dig up a good results map

yeah I 100% certain that neither Warren nor Patrick were interested in running for President

i assume anyone over the level of County Assessor wants to run for president; but it didn't take much "cajoling " to not want to run for president against HRC

but yeah MY looks like he's trading on his status as a clued in DC journo to tell us something about the pre-pre-primary stage there

MR PRESIDENT WHAT

Jeb Spends $2,884 Per Iowa Vote

or "Not That Funny"

nah

"What Makes You Think You're the One" or "Save Me A Place"

Jeb Spends $2,884 Per Iowa Vote

Was wondering earlier how many election cycles it's going to take for all these bajillionaire Super-PAC funders to realize that politicians are an absolutely terrible investment

their ROI would be the same if they just put all their money in a pile and set fire to it

He's just not as motivated as he was when it was his own campaign

seemed p motivated when trashing Obama eight years ago

oh is that where you learned it from

billionaires spend very little money on politics in the grand scheme of things. ads themselves are often the terrible investment for politicans, esp ones everyone already knows - but why not throw a couple million dollars at jeb bush if it's pocket change to you? you might get to visit the white house.

idk they seem pretty unhappy with what they're getting from Jeb, for example. Unhappy enough to complain to the press.

yeah it's like yelp reviews for them though

i wonder if de blasio's presence is what pushed clinton over the finish line in iowa?!

“We are fine with him here, but we would have been fine without him being here,” a grateful Clinton campaign source told the Wall Street Journal.

why would Iowans care about De Blasio?

On Sunday afternoon, Judy Sherman, a 69-year-old retired Iowa voter, opened the door to Mr. de Blasio before quickly closing it.

“I like your shirt, though,” Mr. de Blasio said as Ms. Sherman, wearing a University of Iowa T-shirt, closed the door on him.

Ms. Sherman later told reporters “I did not know and I did not care” that he was mayor of New York. She said she was tired of political ads and didn’t plan to vote for Mrs. Clinton so she had nothing to talk to the mayor about.

i'm pretty sure this is self aware? but

oh is that where you learned it from

yeah we have the same objections to O, you know me like a book

(also i voted for BHO in the NY primary in '08 to my everlasting shame)

you can type "Obama" and remain pure

xxxpost when I lived in Iowa City there were tons of people from NYC there constantly complaining that they couldn't find good bagels or sushi. It was not a good look.

i am not interested in being pure or even being able to fake it.

you know me like a book

not hard, every page is the same

you know me like Klaus.

burn after reading *clink*

like a blank condolences book for you to fill with posthumous diatribes
