Rubin is such a drifter. Can't wait until she embraces socialism on "principle." These Never Trump Republicans are beginning to realize the Dems don't give a crap about them in choosing their nominee.

Oh boy. If that's the best they can do then he's going to cruise to the nomination. May not win Florida though. Remember when the media freaked out when Trump said Putin was a strong leader before the 2016 election.

Oh please. Brandon Schreff was touted as one of the best OT in the draft and the Redskins moved him to guard after taking him #5 overall. Marshal Yanda was drafted as a right tackle before switching to guard and he's been to seven pro bowls. Ford's strengths make him much more suited as a starting guard and I suspect he'll dominate at that position.

Rams take too big of a dead cap hit if they cut or trade Cooks before 2021. Lions would be nuts not to extend Golladay and they have the cap space to do it. I agree with you on AJ Green as only a short term deal would be feasible given his age and he hasn't played football since 2018. If Beane thinks Diggs head is on straight then I'd take the chance and trade a 1st for him as he's a proven commodity. If not, we have no choice but to get a WR through the draft.

Yeah. I heard that four years ago too. They won't increase taxes on the middle class. The Dems in Congress wouldn't even approve of that.

House Republicans could be hurt by strong downdraft from Donald Trump if he wins presidential nod

As a Democrat I agree with that which is why even establishment Democrats will vote for Bernie even if they think some of his proposals like a Green New Deal are insane. A $15 federal minimum wage will increase the wages of 33 million people by 2025 according to an epi study. I know you'll point to all the drawbacks of raising the federal minimum wage but that's going to be the Dems sales pitch going into 2020. I agree that a wealth tax isn't a good idea and I doubt it'll ever get through Congress even if the Dems hold all three houses (which would only happen if a recession hit). For the record, I don't think Bernie would win but if he did then the Republican resistance would make the Tea Party look like amateur hour. We'll be fine.

Gallup and Rasmussen had Romney up within the margin of error. The final polls were really close across the board. Obama was just able to get more people to show up compared to Hillary.

Yes. Police have drawn this sketch of the prospect.

Trump has been rubbing elbows with politicians since the 70's so they're both "selling" their outsider status. The lobbying/consultant system that runs DC is still thriving under Trump as we continue to run record deficits. My guess is it would pry continue under Bernie.

If your definition of an outsider is having government experience then neither one is now. If your definition of an outsider is being despised by media and party elites then they both are.

That was kind of my point. We already have a lot of socialist programs in place to provide a social safety net. If by some miracle Bernie gets elected as president, our system of checks and balances will prevent him from his most ambitious socialist proposals (medicare for all, free college, student loan forgiveness). I'd venture a Bloomberg presidency wouldn't look much different than a Sanders presidency.

Quick question. Wouldn't this be considered a socialist policy?

That's odd. Are they authentic jerseys?

McCain? He's as establishment as you could get and could barely fill a conference room. It's exactly like Trump in '16. A perceived outsider populist candidate starting a movement predicated on blaming the elites and unfair trade deals for all of societies ills. The establishment freaking out thinking the nomination will cost them House and Senate seats. Having rallies that fill out arenas. The establishment candidates refusing to drop out before it's too late warning us that Trump hasn't been properly vetted. Voters giving the media the middle finger. The opposing party celebrating what looks to be an easy victory. The general election may turn out differently but the primary process so far is eerily similar.

I want a degenerative gambler to decide who wins. Also, I want pictures of Biden caucusing in a Vegas strip club.

I don't know. He seems normal.

Think the Green Party will crack 2% this election?

Maybe he just came for the Wilcox Mansion tour.

Interesting read 2020 is a mirror image of 2016 Bernie is the Chinese finger trap of the election — the harder you pull, the stronger he gets A perfect storm enabled Donald Trump’s ascendance in the 2016 primary race, leading him to capture the Republican nomination and reshape the party in his image. It seems the Democrats and the establishment media are ignorant to the fact that the exact same set of circumstances is occurring again in 2020 — but this time it’s coming from inside the house. It’s no wonder that the same party that spent the better part of the 2016 primary blinded by laughter over Donald Trump’s candidacy cannot see what is happening with the rise of Bernie Sanders. But we do. Sanders’s campaign has been buoyed by a populist message, a faltering and terrified establishment, a rabid, angry base and a paralyzed media that has lost any and all influence on voters. The similarities don’t end there. As the ‘moderates’ walked away (we think) victorious in Iowa with Mayor Pete Buttigieg, the need for Bernie Sanders to strike back in New Hampshire invigorated his online army and boosted his polls for Tuesday night’s race and perhaps beyond. The people who bristled and scoffed at a Sanders presidency are suddenly very, very scared. As they should be, because they are the same crowd that ignored warnings from people who understood Trump’s rise in 2016 and were not blinded by Russia conspiracies and other establishment propaganda. Meanwhile, the candidates trailing Bernie are making many of the same mistakes as Trump’s old opponents. In a TIME magazine profile, Elizabeth Warren’s advisers admitted they aren now more concerned with racking up enough delegates from second and third-place finishes to force a contested convention. Ask Ted Cruz how that worked out. Josh Rogin of the Washington Post suggested Biden and Klobuchar should announce a ticket together now to stop Bernie, combatting too much vote splitting amongst the moderates in the race. Again, Cruz and Carly Fiorina didn’t have much success with this strategy in the last election. It’s all too little, too late. Joe Biden, the establishment stalwart, is limping his way across New Hampshire (or whatever state he thinks he’s in at the time), and echoes of Jeb Bush are impossible to ignore. Biden is the assumed frontrunner faltering early due to a lack of enthusiasm and too much baggage. As he turns his attention and attack ads on the young upstart Mayor Pete Buttigieg — Rubio, anyone? — Bernie once again remains unchallenged and content to let all his competition destroy itself. Remember, Donald Trump rarely won a majority of the vote in primaries. Instead, he walked away with around a 25 percent plurality, while the remaining 75 percent of votes were divided between six or seven other candidates all too busy killing each other to gain a brief lead. In New Hampshire, NeverTrump Bill Kristol is allegedly whipping votes for ‘moderate’ candidates behind to the scenes in an effort to thwart Sanders. This will only electrify Sanders’s supporters even more: ‘See, not only is the failed DNC trying to stop Bernie, but the Neocon Republicans are as well!’ Meanwhile, the Post and Courier is reporting that local GOP groups in South Carolina are leading ‘Get Out The Vote’ efforts for Sanders in hopes of elevating him to a primary win and almost unstoppable momentum heading into Nevada and Super Tuesday. This was the Democratic strategy with Donald Trump in 2016, and it didn’t end well. The GOP lifts up Bernie Sanders at its own peril. The crystal ball tells us exactly how this all plays out; Bernie Sanders is going to take New Hampshire, most likely Nevada, and South Carolina becomes a toss up. Then, if Bernie twins a majority of Super Tuesday states, the primary season is effectively over. The question becomes which candidates fall in line for post-primary cable news gigs and possibly cabinet positions in a Sanders administration. The DNC has no good plan to stop this, and can now only achieve acceptance of its fate — a state of being which still evades many never Trumpers. Bernie, much like Trump, is the Chinese finger trap of the election — the harder you pull, the stronger he gets. It’s an impossible-to-win situation. The Democrats just haven’t realized it yet.

Defensive coordinator. I don't know if having the guy who invented the "Not for long" phrase working in it is the best omen for the league.

I like that. You could also choose another division in the NFC and have a set schedule every year (we'd play the 2nd place NFC North team next year (Vikings). That way you avoid playing the same team two years in a row.

This could get interesting...

Stone has really crappy lawyers then if some internet board sports poster knew something in the legal process they didn't.
