      Chump on the other hand is going to enrage the left as much as he stokes the Nazis on the right. The problem, much like in 2018, is that he can't win if both sides are at 11 on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of outrage. He needs his people to show while the other side doesn't. I get your pessimism given past history but you have to understand that this isn't the end of Trump going all Klan on us. Its only the beginning in terms of the 2020 campaign. If he had the ability to pivot at any point and show a more conciliatory side maybe he could pull it off. I'm not expecting that for one minute however.
      Yeah it is one of the problems with going full bigot on the bit...there is no walking it back and there is no pivot. It is one thing to hint and be vague, then you can hem and haw and still deny. There is no possible second meaning to what he is saying now and the Party has joined him in the suicide pact. They have thrown down a gauntlet and cant back away from it. Now any vote for the GOP is a vote for 100% hatred.

      And here is the thing, since the GOP is a bunch of cowards and wont condemn what he says if this backfires on him it will backfire on all of them. The strategy they are employing is beyond a gamble...Trump is Robert E. Lee telling Pickett to charge at Gettysburg.

              Wait, Elizabeth Warren folded her campaign and sent the unsold t-shirts overseas? Can you pick me up an Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl Champs shirt please?

                Did you catch the wedding??

                @briebriejoy: @AmericanAir I literally flew to Bahrain to attend a black tie wedding in espadrilles. And now you don't want to pay for a hotel room.

                Other acceptable options: refund my points. Give me more than a $12 airport food voucher.

                Also, same for all the other passengers.

                  mookie is in Bahrain?

                  mookie have you ever played netball at the British Club or disco at The Warbler or Tobasco Charlie's? I used to order 2 shawarmas and coke from the Iskenderun Grills (not sure why they pluralized 'grill') delivered to the house for around a dinar back in the day. Oh man the Thai Club, Hash House have great food. Also the ladies serving lunch at the Gulf Hotel were always top notch at the poolside restaurant as were the Indian and Mexican restaurants within. Is Sheik's beach still open to select expats?

                  Not sure I ever will go back but that was a good year.

                    I should try the schawarma at Ansari's sometime. Sounds delicious.

                      Bern and Pete tops in fundraising.

                      When they eventually drop out, they should both tour the country to raise more money for the nominee.

                        Boy to see "Socialist" Bernie put his money where his mouth it and perform such an obvious socialist act would be asking too much, wouldn't it?

                          Bernie should do what he did in 2016 but he won't because he's a socialist err something something.

                            No he shouldnt do what he did in 2016...if he ends up on the outside looking in he should bow out gracefully and endorse. Oh and not pout at the convention

                            My dad reminds me of Bernie more and more each day just a cranky old man...well minus the hair

                              Once again holding Bernie to a different standard than abuela in 2008 where she said she was staying in the race in case the black guy got shot.

                                I called for Hillary to step down too. (on here even) When it is over it is over just admit it and back the winner. The longer you wait the worse you look and the more it divides people. If you have no path to victory be an adult and tip your cap and start stumping for the winner.
