Re: New Developments III
But impeaching President Trump for a second time with absolutely no pathway towards removal is terrible politics that makes the party look awful. No, it’s not. What he did in the Raffensperger call was even worse than what he actually got impeached for last year. This idea of letting people off the...

Re: New Developments III
Neal Katyal and Sam Koppelman make a good argument for impeaching Trump again and this time finding him guilty even though he will have left office by the time it is done. It would be to keep him from running again in 2024. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/04/opinion/trump-georgia-impeach.html?actio...

Re: New Developments III
Anyone who's not watching cable news right now should tune in for what is, even by Trump era standards, a Holy Shit moment. And spare me your "This won't change Republican minds" takes. I'm just talking about the reality that the president is on tape, sounding like a mob boss, telling a s...

Re: New York Film Critics Circle
In the old days, at least through Bosley Crowther at the end of 1967, and for a number of years thereafter, the organization was mainstream and a reliable precursor of the Oscars. Now it's a radical organization that would vote for a 3 hour "film" called White Rabbit in the Snow consistin...

Re: Campaign 2020
Hispanics weren't a monolithic block in 2008, 2012, or 2016 too. And yet Obama and Clinton performed extremely well among them. Congressional Democrats also posted very strong numbers in 2018 (Beto did 10 points better than Biden). So allow me to be skeptical that Latinos suddenly this year became a...

Re: Campaign 2020
We'll see whether the rightward trend among Hispanics is something permanent or a fluke, but there is a significant difference between other Republican candidates who did well among them (W, Arnold) and Trump. The former actively courted Hispanic voters while the latter did everything to insult and ...

Re: Campaign 2020
I'm waiting for Mister Tee's post-election analysis post to declare the 2020 campaign season over. Personally I trust him way more than the Chuck Todds and Jake Tappers of this world.

Re: Campaign 2020
So, it appears that Trump will not only refuse to attend Biden's inauguration (when was the last time a president shunned his successor like that?) but that he will kickoff his 2024 campaign the same day with one of his trademark rallies. I'm curious to see whether all those ambitious Republicans wh...

Re: April 2021 Oscars Will Be In-Person
There should be no Oscars this year. Holding an in-person ceremony is stupid and irresponsible.

Re: Campaign 2020
The Democratic Party just has a brand that remains toxic -- or at least potentially toxic -- to so many different people. Which is obviously why it has won the popular vote in 7 out of the last 8 elections. P.S. If somebody really believes that Joe freaking Biden is a closet socialist then no amoun...

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/11/16/1996146/-Trump-has-a-legit-superpower-and-it-s-his-hidden-deplorables There’s nothing “shy” about these people or their support for Trump, yet pollsters aren’t catching them.

Re: Campaign 2020
Bush took 44% of Hispanics and 12% of blacks in 2004. Four years later, the guy who literally wrote the immigration reform bill collapsed to 31% running against Obama (who got crushed among Hispanics in the Democratic primary). I don't know why Hispanics (and to a lesser degree black men) gravitated...

Re: Campaign 2020
I think that Biden had settled early on on Harris and the other names (Rice, Bass, etc.) were mostly red herrings, floated to keep everyone, including the press, guessing. Rice especially made no sense since she brought nothing on the table electorally and a relitigation of the Benghazi affair would...
