well i'm glad it was finally clarified who's voting for jeb: the crucial block of legally-deceased-americans.

"with 100% certainty, i will pick a winner: it will be either carolina or denver"
- ben dad joke carson

more baffling filler from ABC news - let's talk to a quarter-filled classroom of college bloggers or something? "Oh mannn it's Brad! Dude! Brad is here!"

this week on SNL, bernie sanders
next week on SNL, a parody of the hilarious introduction of this debate

"I'm still here, and I'm not going any place--especially when they call my name at the beginning!"

ben "indica" carson

Don't read anything deeper into this statement, but I do kind of love that Trump just doesn't know how to play defense. That last jab at Cruz was so over-the-top.

I still want to find out how somebody died campaigning for carson

Rubio was terrible tonight.

this really was painful, especially with the murmurs and boos after the final time he does it: http://www.vox.com/2016/2/6/10929416/republican-debate-marco-rubio

I have to admit the SNL Digital Short w/ LD that Sanders "directed" was actually p funny, annoying since LD is a complete prick

omigod did he finally collapse

i was wincing watching Christie destroy Rubio

back in good ol' (sorta) Democratic theft:

"In Grinnell Ward 1, the precinct where elite liberal arts college Grinnell College is located, 19 delegates were awarded to Bernie Sanders and seven were awarded to Hillary Clinton on caucus night. However, the Iowa Democratic party decided to shift one delegate from Sanders to Clinton on the night and did not notify precinct chair J Pablo Silva that they had done so. Silva only discovered that this happened the next day, when checking the precinct results in other parts of the county."

In the old days, when Democrats knew how to do politics right, a change like this would have required a substantial bribe of whiskey and strippers, as well as a decent county job for the idiot nephew of the county chairman. To paraphrase George C. Scott in Patton, god, how I hate the 21st Century.

hey, unlike Henry K, this war criminal is tubthumping for Hil, and bringin' the sisterly guilt.

Madeleine Albright, campaigning for Hillary Clinton: "Remember, there's a special place in hell for women who don't support other women."

Madeleine can fuck right off with that shit. so if Hillary was in favor of letting bloodthirsty genetically enhanced gorillas in the street to thin the population, we'd still need to vote for her?

actually i'm not so sure I don't support that

Taking out copyright on "The Stepford Candidate" as a Rubio nickname.

also it's kinda sad that Steinem has signed up with the nitwit branch of American feminism

Debbie Wasserman Schultz--bless her heart--calls out the GOP for hiding their debates on big weekend nights, thus reaping the whirlwind (apologies for Vox link, I know):

apologies for positive Wasserman-Schultz story too

Something I believe now that I didn't believe a year ago: if Elizabeth Warren had run, she would've won the Democratic nomination

huh, good chance this is true

Steinem apologized:

although i guess if we accept that the demographic gap is what will ultimately propel clinton to the nomination, i'm not sure how warren necessarily closes that

p4reene addressed the dubiousness of that last week. BS has won 14 elections, EW what, one? It's no fait accompli.

@CaitlinPacific @maggieNYT @AthertonKD "What I said was misinterpreted. What I meant was [entirely different words]."

It's great that Steinem has apologised, even if it's hard to see an explanation for what she said. It won't stop right-wingers and anti-feminists from quoting that forever.

"I apologize for what's been misinterpreted" isn't much of an apology.

how about "I'm sorry i had an opinion"

Well, if she was voicing an opinion she stands by, there's no need to apologize at all.

she's not sorry about anything, i'm quite sure

"I apologize for what's been misinterpreted"
"I'm sorry you took it that way."

"I'm sorry you were offended by what I said."

"I'm sorry I have to waste my time explaining myself to morons like you."

no we understood you the first time, you superannuated clown

i thought she made a lot of good points sticking up for the role of feminism in the muslim world. i guess that doesn't get the clicks

sticking up for the role of feminism in the muslim world

Albert Brooks, no?

The things people need to apologize for these days. Everything about this is so stupid.

On a FB thread today, I basically apologized in advance because a celebrity death has never brought me to tears.

not even tim horton's?

When they stopped making blueberry fritters, yes, but that doesn't really count.

She's getting really ridiculously easy to hate

marc loi peter daou wants to know why this was never an issue with male presidential candidates????

"On a FB thread today, I basically apologized in advance because a celebrity death has never brought me to tears."

You need to be properly gutted! We'll find someone who guts you, don't you worry...
