Trump's Card

[Gerontophile]

Nice, that Rosenstein hasdefended Mueller for so long... spacebar not good.

Interesting table down the bottom on here.

Bill Clinton got 23 and 26 percent of "Born again, religious right".

[Gerontophile]

When did American politicians get so shit at talking?

*And lawyers get better?

[Gerontophile]

So, when did you first beat your wife, Mrs Clinton?

Christ almighty. Any chance of this gerrymandering becoming a national issue?

[Ginger Yellow]

Well, it's up before the Supreme Court in Wisconsin and Maryland. But that's not exactly encouraging given the court's composition. As for it becoming an electoral issue, it doesn't seem that white voters care about it, or if they do, they like it.

Hello dear. Welcome to humanity.

Gohmert is a cunt.

Oh yeah. Net neutrality loses.

Note that Roy Moore, who just lost and molests children, actually has a higher favorable rating in AL than Ted Cruz has in TX.

Shame nobody's heard of Cruz likely challenger.

No one's heard of Beto O'Rourke in Texas? He's a Congressman, he's not that obscure.

Cheers. Any numbers for white who aren't born again Christians?

Alabama has a pretty tiny Hispanic population, so you can pretty much spitball it by subtracting the black vote from the "everyone else" totals.

[Flynnie]

Flynnie, I have to run, but I don't think the first part was really tried in 2016, particularly as regards people of colour.

As to non-voters, it would be great if we could get them out, but I don't think it is wise to change the message in what is likely to be an unsuccessful quest.

It was a very successful quest in 2008.

Trying to get votes off Republicans is never going to work. If you're a white lady and you still vote Republican these days, you're probably a chud.

Get the base to turn out and attract people who are turned off by politics, as in the style of the Absolute Boy.

The Supreme Court of those states, or the US Supreme Court? Isn't Kennedy supposed to be anti-gerrymandering?

[Tubby Isaacs]

Per the poll Iglesias cited, 69% said "neither/don't know" for O'Rourke, Flynnie.

Didn't they get a lot of Republican voters in Virginia?

The US Supreme Court. Good discussion by Jeffrey Toobin in the New Yorker Politics and More Podcast in the last couple of weeks.

[Ginger Yellow]

US Supreme Court. Kennedy didn't stop Roberts from gutting the VRA, so I wouldn't consider him anything like a reliable vote on gerrymandering, either in general or the specific cases. And he didn't really indicate much either way in the oral arguments for the case that has already been heard.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Interesting increase in self-identified "liberals" between 2016 and 2017. Up to 23% from 16%. Would be handy if Trump were creating big chunks of new liberals nationwide.

Strangely, 14% of these liberals voted for Moore.

Cheers, will look up.

I like Jeffrey Toobin on CNN.

So the Democrats should be going after the "everyone else" category with a good economic message.

Thread on NAACP observations about the Jones campaign. Certainly a step change.

No. Get the non-whites to vote... yes some will vote Republican, but not all.

This is the exit poll stuff that me and Inca are referring to.

Shame nobody's heard of Cruz likely challenger.

I reallly hate other people oing to places, with no knoledgew.

You are the 'one' who is on the fence.

It really isn't helping, cos this guy is a 'black' guy.

Aw, man? Kill him by kisses?

Senor Guttierez, this is not your place.

[Gerontophile]

Just one more thing: Republicans are cunts.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Roy Moore still not conceding. In similar spirit, Joe Root's not conceded the 2nd test yet.
