really hoping for blow-by-blow analysis of each candidate's well-concealed but powerfully felt dog-whistle appeals inciting the long-simmering resentment between mecklenburg-vorpommern-americans and alsace-lorrainean-americans

lol

On Monday night, Cruz’s colleagues ignored his attempt to disrupt Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s efforts to fund the government without attacking Planned Parenthood. In an unusual rebuke, even fellow Republicans denied him a “sufficient second” that would have allowed him a roll call vote.

Then, his Republican colleagues loudly bellowed “no” when Cruz sought a voice vote, a second repudiation that showed how little support Cruz has: Just one other GOP senator — Utah’s Mike Lee — joined with Cruz as he was overruled by McConnell and his deputies.

It was the second time that Cruz had been denied a procedural courtesy that’s routinely granted to senators in both parties. The first came after he called McConnell a liar this summer.

Cruz was incredulous on Monday, calling it an “unprecedented procedural trick."

Cruz really needs to run for Speaker of the House.. he's more popular there and you dont even have to be a member!

haha that would be p funny

lol really they oughta close that loop

unprecedented procedural trick

^what happens when you sow the wind

He's doing it on purpose though, right? He loves that that happened ^

idly fantasizing about a fed gov't run entirely by Dem women - Hillary in the WH, with Warren as Majority Leader in the Senate and Pelosi as Speaker in the House, the latter two serving as crucial counterweight

altho prospects of Dems recapturing the House seem p dim at this point

...until 2032

i have the same fantasy, cept it's Shirley Chisholm, Eleanor Roosevelt and Barbara Jordan

^

and Ursa as president

i'm honestly not certain how you (the general "you") would want a politician to behave. it he gets too far in front of popular opinion, he's toast. if he's too far behind, he's mike huckabee. you could critique obama's approach to this or that issue to be overcautious or wrongheaded, but the finger-to-the-wind thing seems like a decent way to govern, all things considered.

p.s. with all due awareness of the limitations of the presidential office and unlikely success of a warren candidacy, i do hope she runs in 2020 at least...

i mean, obama's strategy paid off, right? we've got same-sex marriage in the whole country. just as it'd be foolish to suggest obama was a pioneer on this, it'd be foolish to suggest that his administration getting behind the principle didn't help push it toward realization.

you're not new here, come on

happy coffee day to you, too! :)

no one's gonna post the Dunham/Rodham sketch video, right? good

Carson jokes about running from cops back "before they would shoot you"

when was this?

before the advent of firearms?

no big surprise, but jeb! doesn't understand what the fuss is regarding the name of the washington racists redskins football team

“It’s a sport for crying out loud," the former Florida governor said. "It’s a football team. Washington has a huge fan base. … I’m missing something here I guess.”

that's weird, i thought ILX autoreplaced that with the funny cat.

Jeb!'s backers currently wishing he could be replaced with a funny cat

his poll numbers would skyrocket

i want to see the splits on a matchup between hillary clinton and a funny cat

but then in an october 2016 scandal, it's revealed that the funny cat has been openly coordinating with multiple SuperPACS

'these corrupt fat cats in washington' etc etc

the funny cat's only defense is that they thought they were dealing with supercats

Hillary v Funny Cat: which is less trustworthy?

the idea of a cat, any cat at all, doing anything, is 100x better than jeb!

i'd take pretty much any cat over pretty much anyone currently running

cat stevens for 1st muslim prez

I mean, I also want to work with supercats.

don't blame me I voted for Snarf

part-german-american donald trump

woah buddy, afaik he's Dutch! them's fightin' words. but I'm not gonna fight over Trump.

i'd take pretty much any cat over pretty much anyone currently running

Socks/Bo 2016

Socks is dead!

!! RIP Socks, that joke was too soon...

also bavarians vs. berliners is totally still a thing in the USA, but usually just represented by a very tepid lutheren vs. catholic sectarianism that barely register's outside of the church refreshments room.

do germans pronounce it like "Troomp"

DONALDO TROOMPS FOR PRESIDETN

hahahahaha
