Is Warren wins Iowa and has Reid's network in her corner then she is the clear favorite.

Warren for this reason.

I know he’s spoken highly of her, but does she really have his network “in her corner”?

Reid has implied that his campaign infrastructure would assist Warren in the primary, though he stopped short of officially endorsing her.

They don’t moderate a political forum so no.

Option 4.  This is a major reason why I'll never be Catholic.  People are of equal worth; I'm aware of the "equal but different" argument, but you can't have equality with the "head and helper" nonsense.  

It does seem, however, that Catholics are generally more sensible than evangelicals.  Many individual Catholics are not that enthusiastic about complimentarianism.  Nonetheless, it doesn't look like the church is budging.  Maybe the egalitarian-minded Catholics should just become Episcopalian, or maybe Lutheran.

Whichever one has a better chance at winning the nomination when my state comes up for the primary.

That said, if both are polling equally, Warren.

Republicans are still trying to argue 'entitlements' like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are to blame for the deficit. This is very cynical and deliberate, as their 'starve the beast' strategy-cutting taxes for the rich so the deficit is so bad that they can sell spending cuts later on as a necessity (and it would be politically easier to sell spending cuts when the deficit is huge-even if they are responsible for that-than when the deficit is relatively low) and so in the long-term reduce both taxes and spending.

Fuzzy is a hypocrite for asking me, A PALESTINIAN to condemn a religious leader long dead, but yet won't condemn Trump's comments about Jews today. I'm pretty sure he's ONLY asking me to because I'm Palestinian

I don't see any tweets from Mr. Trump taking credit for the stock market. I hope he's okay.

He's busy winning the Trade War you dumb lib

Actually, did you see the freak of Bizarro world posts he churned out today about the market? Weird and unintelligible even for him.

Gillibrand and Booker have called for King to resign.  It will be interesting to see what Republicans say about this.

Clicked on this thread thinking people would be discussing Bernie’s new climate plan. I don’t know what I expected.

Well, it's not much of a plan, it's just the same sh**t that's in all the other candidates plans but with far less detail/logistics, with all the spending multiplied by 5 to give him the "bigger number", and a bunch of ludicrous proposals for how to pay for it.

So to get this straight, we're adding $32T (optimistic figure) for single-payer, we're adding $4T for free college, and now we're adding $16T for his "Green New Deal."  So taking Bernie's extremely optimistic numbers, that's at minimum $52T in new spending from just three plans, and it's only August!

His proposals for how to pay for all this are laughably atrocious on their face, but on top of that, he's proposed the same method of financing for multiple different plans.  You can only tax the wealthy so much before you run out of money or run out of wealthy people.  Bernie would need to triple federal revenue to pay for this stuff.

You could eliminate 100% of defense spending and it would only cover about 12% of the cost of Bernie's plans.  If you raised taxes on the 1% to 100% of all income and capital gains, it would pay for about 22% of the cost, assuming none of them leave the country (lol).  If you tripled corporate taxes, it would cover 11%.

But really it's insulting how other candidates like Biden, Buttigieg, Inslee, Delaney can come up with far more detailed and realistic environmental plans -- plans that would actually stand a chance of being implemented -- and get no media attention, but Bernie comes out with essentially a wishlist and the media is all over it.  This is the problem with our politics right now.  The better you would be at actually governing, the less attention you get, because details are boring.

I understand that y'all are like "well money doesn't matter when the future of the world is at stake!" but to make an analogy, let's say you can currently run a 5 minute mile, and Biden et al are saying they want to get it down to a 4:30 or 4:15 mile.  That's really ambitious and close to Olympian times.  But Bernie comes along and says, f*** that, we're running a thirty-second mile.  It's just not physically possible!  But of course then everyone criticizes Biden for not being ambitious enough.

AOC is absolutely correct. The electoral college is a scam enable by the elite to keep the populace in check. We would've had the true people champion in the Oval Office right now if it weren't for the Founding Fathers screwing the public over.
