She said that his attacks against her during the primary caused "lasting damage" and paved the way for "(Donald) Trump's 'Crooked Hillary' campaign."
Clinton, in a book that will be released September 12 entitled "What Happened," said Sanders "had to resort to innuendo and impugning my character" because the two Democrats "agreed on so much."

I mean is that not word for word a thing trump said ad nauseum - using Bernie as support for his accusation

Honestly though, the more I think about the Democrats the more I am convinced they are really missing the boat on not harnessing the resentment employees feel for their employers to run on a platform of comprehensive Labor and Employment reform.

Like Fight for 15/Minimum Wage is like what they always go to when they want to win midterms but I feel like fighting for the rights of employees would be really huge.

I realize defending the ACA is the more immediate issue but voters are always more likely to vote for some sort of positive change vs the status quo. And in its own way the ACA IS a big employee right - no longer being beholden to your employer for your healthcare if you dont want to be is HUGE especially as the labor market becomes more and more contractor filled and corporations are seeking to shed overhead like pensions, 401ks, and healthcare.

I think there's a good chance that Bernie receives fewer votes overall but carries more states - there's reason to believe that he can carry MI, WI, and PA and I don't know which states he loses that Clinton won

What needs to be taken into account is that Bernie was never gonna win Florida in a million years.

Clinton legitimately had a solid shot at Ohio Florida and North Carolina and lost because, ironically, she took a hard stand on abortion during the debates when she didn't have to. That's what she should be most embarassed about. She bet the farm on winning ANY ONE of those three states and lost them all.

Sanders, I think, has a legitimate shot at still losing Pennsylvania Ohio Florida and North Carolina while almost assuredly losing Virginia and Nevada.

He probably picks up 1 EV in Maine plus Wisconsin and Michigan though.

I also think that the myth that Trump was a 'historically weak candidate' needs to go away. He got out the vote HARD using voters who don't normally vote which is the hardest trick in politics. Popularity polls may have shown he was unpopular but not enough of the people who hate him the most (18-24 age bracket) voted - and they never really do outside of 2008 Obama.

are you guys seriously going to pretend that the democratic primary voters are the same thing as the general election voters? all opinion polls showed that bernie did better among ind voters than clinton and did better against trump in the general. hes rn by far the most popular politician in the country. whatever you think of him, all the actual evidence points towards him being more likely to win.
.

They also showed that John Kasich would have delivered an unworldly godstomp on Hillary and we all know that to very likely not be true.

Why are bad facts only good when they support YOUR fringe candidate.

I assume China trades with NK

So wouldn't that kill us?

Yep, as does most of the world. The EU, China, Mexico, Brazil, India, most of the US's biggest trading partners. What Trump is suggesting here would remove a large majority of the US's trade, and destroy its economy.

We all know this. Is there anybody left who actually thinks he's qualified for office?

But at least we wouldnt have a trade deficit anymore

Father of our country and all that.

This is probably the biggest thing we can thank Robert E Lee for though.

With Lee's betrayal the "line" of Washington was premanently broken and he no longer has any sort of heir.

That's part of the reason why Lee was such a natural rallying figure. They could literally point to Lee and say "See Washington would have seceded too"

Fox News polls are actually legit. They're A rated on 538.

Though these questions are pretty questionable and push poll-y

I'll agree that "Drawing Country Together" and "Tearing Country Apart" are pretty stark divides, but its still a pretty telling number (only 33% for the former is even worse than the 56% for the latter).

What's REALLY bad news is that 35% job approval rating

Its frankly pretty astounding for a President to be presiding over a period of positive economic growth to be tanking in the polls like this.

He would probably literally have higher poll rating if he just sat in his office and watched CNN while John Kelly ran the country.

I have read about that rally before

The big thing that she leaves off is that there were SO MANY MORE protestors than nazi sympathizers that no event like it was tried elsewhere and the whole endeavour was deemed a failure.

However, right wing papers like the Herald (which she is quoting here) could not resist taking pot shots at trade unionists roughhousing in the crowds.

FoG makes sense. The timing doesn't. Sure, they're soft boots but considering the contest gets bigger and bigger every year without the field increasing it's just out of place round wise.

I mean I haven't actually lost anything in this format so it's pretty whatever to me. Doesn't mean I can't say the timing is dumb, because it's dumb.

Yup.

If we wanna keep FOG we need to expand the field

Maybe that's because Crews is a pretty average wrestler outside of DG.

Right but a lot of guys get midcard title reigns to see how well they do and if they're worth pushing up the ladder.

Look at someone like Big E getting an IC title reign at least. When was the last time we got a wrestler who's first midcard title was the IC? Owens?

I see your point but that was only 2 years ago <_<

Yeah but we've had people add dozens of IC title reigns to their resume and we couldn't get a month of say, Apollo Crews, Baron Corbin or Sami Zayn in the middle? Why did we need extended rivalries between Ziggler/Miz or Ambrose/Miz? These are three former World Champs for God's sake.

Yeah but unless youre gonna book The Miz against Brock or Stroman what can you really do with the guy outside that picture.

Congress actually took a big chunk of power back following Watergate (FOIA and the bull requiring the President to ask for Force Authorization being the big 2)

And really just watch this budget process.

Trump has proposed a budget but I am willing to bet the budget they go with ends up being drawn up by McConnel.

The thing most people dont realize is that a sizable chunk of the executives power is derived from tradition.

The Senate Armed Forces Committee could begin directing the DoD with absolutely no legal problems mainly because a large chunk of the "Executive Branch" is already a shadow 4th branch of bureaucracy anyway. And this group has been serving as a sort of informal check on Trumps power by not implementing his agenda

I will agree that Trump himself is muddying the trends here - while he has been bleeding power to Congress the judiciary and career government employees he has been posturing like an autocrat.

As it turns out oir institutions are a lot stronger than Trump - and a lot of observers -thought.

A big part of this has been that McConnell - and not Trump - has driven the agenda and shaped it. Thats a HUGE departure. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi didn't have anywhete near this influence over obama.
