Mooving on, I just saw a headline that says Trump said he wants everything back to normal by Easter.

So uh, yeah.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure everybody wants that. The issue is that Trump seems to be under the impression that it's probably going to happen while in reality it's almost certainly impossible.

Hillary would have done a better job dealing with the virus from the start, but I doubt her administration would have been able to completely prevent it from happening. (Did Trump cause all the issues in other countries?) Meanwhile, the economy would be completely fucked as the GOP would have complete control of Congress and would refuse to do anything about it so Hillary would look bad before the upcoming election.

...I'd still rather have Hillary as president for many obvious reasons, but I'm really not sure she'd do much better with the current situation.

Is there such a thing as limiting the curve too much?

Like part of this approach requires some amount of people to still get infected and go through the process of the disease, recieve treatment if necessary, and then be immune right?

That way there's not a giant spike all at once. Otherwise, when people eventually need to return to work, everyone will still be ripe for infection and shoot to the top of the curve again. If we completely stop the spread now then it'll be just as bad later.

I think the idea is that most people will still be exposed to the virus (it's impossible to live indefinitely without coming into contact with other people), but we can spread that out over time by avoiding unnecessary excursions and not end up with all the critically ill patients in the hospital at the same time. The media isn't focusing on the "you'll probably get sick anyway" part because then too many people won't bother doing anything.

Hey, that's not a good metric to judge Trump by. It's only fair to base it on where the markets were at the start of Obama's term. When you look at it that way, it's amazing how Trump has managed to save the economy after Obama and the Democrats crashed it in 2008.

Because Bloomberg had more ads than he has dollars? I mean if you just look at Bloombergs ads and That's all you knew about him, he'd make a decent candidate.

Yeah, obviously older black voters are uniquely stupid and therefore less able to pick candidates who match their views compared to normal voters. It's incredibly racist to see anyone trying to claim the voting patterns of older black are a result of their political beliefs rather than their inferior intelligence.

At this point, it's not like any of the other options the Dem establishment would prefer over Sanders are much better than Biden anyway. While not throwing their weight behind Biden now is a mistake, the bigger issues for them are A) assuming Sanders would fail on his own somehow rather than having a plan to stop him and B) having a fairly weak field of moderate candidates to begin with.

Thats not clear at all. Even if correlations between candidates were completely nonexistent, the 15% threshold gives the frontrunner (Sanders) a huge advantage that he wouldnt have 1v1. Sanders realistically could, for example, be the only candidate viable statewide in CA.

On the other hand, having so many candidates still around could keep Sanders from breaking 15% in South Carolina, leaving Biden as the sole candidate viable statewide. If that happens, the resulting media coverage is really going to hurt Sanders.

The argument is that all of the establishment Dems with a combined majority of the vote have more of a collective mandate than a marxist non-Democrat with only 35% of the votes.

Yes, but which establishment Dem do they rally behind? If 65% of the delegates are split among candidates with less than 25% each, then there at least two candidates fighting over which of them is the "real" choice the people want. It's not just Bernie fans who end up upset in this scenario; it'd be just about everybody but the relatively small base of the eventual nominee. I can't say for sure that the Democrats wouldn't do it anyway, but it'd probably kill their chances of winning in November.

He probably needs something like a 10+ point lead and have at least 40% of the delegates. Once you get into the 30s it's a lot easier to argue that he doesn't have clear support.

If Sanders has a 10 point lead, I don't really think his percentage matters much. Sanders having that kind of lead with a lower percentage implies the votes split too many ways for anyone else to emerge from the other candidates. Like if Sanders finishes at 30% and nobody else even hits 20%, how can anyone else complain about how his lack of support when there isn't a clear alternative?

If Hillary were the nominee in 2008 we'd be talking about what Republican would have the honor of getting obliterated by Obama right now.

How does Obama become president in this scenario? The way I see it, Hillary beats McCain but probably loses re-election in 2012. By 2016, Obama is either tied to Hillary as her former VP or he's just another generic senator with too much history to convincingly promise change.

But the spoils are portioned out and Iowa has 41 spoils available. This means 5+% support should have earned Yang 2 out of 41 spoils.

Why should Yang get any delegates when the results suggest he has no chance to win the nomination? The whole point of having primary votes is to narrow the field; at least with ranked-choice voting his supporters can have some input into which actually viable option they'd prefer.

(None of this changes the fact that Iowa's caucus system is bad, of course.)

What I don't understand is the belief that covering up witnesses/docs (which something like 70% of Americans want, since that's what you have in a trial) will be *good* for them, especially since stuff like the Bolton bombshell will likely keep coming out between now and November.

Once the trial is over, the Republicans can start talking about how Trump was exonerated and that any new stuff is just fake news from treasonous Democrats trying to rig the upcoming election. This will make it easy enough for people who aren't already upset about it to ignore the whole thing, especially since it's already clear Trump is guilty (making new facts much less interesting). A few months from now, most people won't remember any of the details and will just write the whole thing off as another silly political fight.
