It was an incredible, hilarious, flaming pile of dog shit. I have to wonder if any of the Trumpers felt rattled when Rubio talked about Donald hiring illegals and his two defenses were: a. It was very hot that summer and hard to get part time help and b. That was a long time ago.

I'm Always in Love (tiny desk edition) is my favorite version since the rehearsal footage of it in iattbyh.

Right. Which matches my pragmatic pleas to my friends. I don't "sell out" because I voted for a candidate I won't whole heartedly celebrate, just as much as not voting because "it all stinks" gives you zero bragging rights or superiority. We use our limited tools to affect things in the best way we can. It's not a symbolic war at that point.

One thing I'll say for her, she has her foreign policy shit together WAY more than anyone else in the race. We might not always know what her agenda is, or fully trust her motives, but she knows what's going on, she knows how to build a cabinet (Benghazi be damned). Sanders, Cruz, Trump, Rubio.... these men do not understand how the world is working the way that HRC does. Sounds like I'm on her team, but I'll be damned if she's not sitting right in Wall Street's pocket. That's going to affect her banking reform, her environmental agenda- all of it can be undermined by that fact.

Interesting how it flips; I can see exactly what you're saying here and it makes sense. However, I was unclear, what I was talking about is different. It's how you respond to a Clinton nomination as a skeptical progressive. In other words, I'm saying "go ahead and vote for her, it's better than the alternative" in the general election if she gets it, whereas my friends are considering abstaining from voting if Bernie doesn't get the nomination.

I actually got into an ill-advised Facebook debate about this. It's pretty much a classic pragmatism vs. idealism story. I'm part of the former. My argument is that if you consider your vote to be a deeper part of your identity you need to get over it. I don't love Clinton, but I'll turn in my coupon for her if that's my choice, it'll take five minutes, and will be my contribution to a slightly safer world.

Sanders still scored a good chunk of the delegates. His continued relevance is captivating. The Jeb campaign is so sad to me. I have no love for the Bush family and had no interest in president Jeb, there's just something palpably tragic in the figure he casts. It reminds me of the Romney documentary that was on Netflix, you can just taste the failure. What I wonder for the GOP is have they all torn up every candidate that could actually challenge Trump to the point where they're irrelevant? Everyone had stars in their eyes for Rubio a few weeks ago, and his debate performance was so

Totally.

That's more than a little coy to me. I suppose it could all be theater to him, and he might actually be the surreptitiously mellowest prankster who ever swindled and hoodwinked us all. I think what's important here is that people enter a public arena and interact with their country's perception of them- whether that's their truest self, or just a role they've chosen. I think that warrants well placed cries of "buffoon" or "asshole" in Trump's general direction. As you've probably already pointed out, it doesn't warrant grave dancing. If you want to step on the national stage and run the

Do you think Cosby is a jerk? Would it be safe to assume that Trump is? Can we not judge public figures by their record?

I found this to be a pretty fair analysis. http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2016/02/17/466730455/fact-check-bernie-sanders-promises-free-college-will-it-work

Christianity is suffering the same fate as American conservativism; the crazies are drowning out the sane people and turning off the undecided.

Bummer. I enjoyed half-heartedly respecting that man and using him as an example of who isn't a ding bat to my conservative friends.

Sooooo.... this got signed. How do you feel about it? Who finds it difficult to comprehend? (me)

I'm no moderator, but I think "getting political" over what powers the Executive Office has to nominate a justice of the Supreme Court is good. "Getting political" over pillow-gate and questioning each others' sanity, reasonableness, or wording is bad. It did produce some comedy, I'll give it that. Just my $0.02.

How many nominations have they had at this point? A lot. That's saying something.

Broadcasting the truth when it is argumentatively convenient doesn't change the fact that it's true. This is a basic principle in rhetoric.

No, I think he's saying it's absurd to presuppose blocking a nominee before any specific person is actually mentioned.

The idea that someone can't be rightfully called a piece of shit because of the office they've achieved is thoroughly undemocratic.

Here's my question to you all: At this point, is a vote for Donald Trump a vote for the DNC? Is he the destroyer of the GOP?

Holy moly, I watched the highlights over at npr. Rubio repeated the same bit so identically 3 times that I thought I'd accidentally bumped the rewind. Christie starts tearing him up and he just repeats "The problem is this notion that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing..." It was like someone dosed his water bottle and he went into a fugue state.

No they weren't. They were too immersed in Orwellian double speak to hit that bluntly. So Obama speaking at a mosque to insure American Muslims that they're part of our nation and welcome is used as an example of how he's "dividing our country on racial lines"? Because at the end of the day Rubio's a Dolphins fan, but you may be a Patriots fan? Curioser and curioser. It seems Marco is trying to channel some of that Palin oratory. Probably why he's stumped on the same script for a year.

You don't need to dig for racism with Rubio. His record has plenty of other problems that are easier to prove.

The youtube videos are on pitchfork. RNG was as rocking as ever.

I just saw it in the book store. It's kind of a curated conversation with both of them. A person from the magazine asks an occasional question, and then they each go off and respond to each other. Good content on creativity, but fairly short.
