Niko House, who won the Hawaii Democrat’s recent donor challenge, also believes Bill Cosby was framed and that “Pizzagate” is real. ... argues the mass shooting in Las Vegas was an intelligence operation meant to distract from the Harvey Weinstein scandal

An Army veteran who studied at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, he first made a name for himself online as the founder of “Carolina Students for Bernie Sanders,” and later alleged that the Vermont senator’s campaign in the Tar Heel State was derailed from within by a sleeper cell of Hillary Clinton supporters ... “Somebody made a concerted effort to make sure that I could not talk to Bernie or anyone close to him,” he claimed

And he speculated that the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, like the gassing of children in Syria, was a false flag.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, who worked with Weinstein, have ties to the CIA, he maintained: “Both their families are connected to intelligence agencies.”

Chester Bennington, the lead singer of the band Linkin Park, “could be John Podesta’s bastard child.”

“I refuse to trick myself into being sympathetic toward warmongering sociopaths, and that includes George Soros, possibly more than any of them.”

“Niko’s been great,” Gabbard told supporters during a March 2019 livestream. “He’s talked about a lot of very important issues.”

The top two (Biden and Sanders) are far above where Buttigeig is polling. If you think Polling is what matters, then it's a 2 person race. If there's another aspect you think Buttigeig can compete in, you should say what it is.

[TakingBackSunday]

I think it’s dumb not to at least wait for the debates and the campaigns to start in earnest

[benjipwns]

In the RCP average he hasn't been third since May 2nd and he's been under Harris except for one day thanks to the Fox News poll.

May 2: Biden (32.8) - Sanders (19.4) - Buttigeg/Warren (8.4) - Harris (7.2) - O'Rourke (5.6) - Booker (2.2)
May 26: Biden (34.7) - Sanders (17.7) - Warren (9.8) - Harris (8.0) - Buttigeg (6.2) - O'Rourke (3.7)  - Booker (2.0)

The campaign has started in earnest. Why do you think people are trying to fundraise for months?

[team filler]

[Mandark]

I think it's reasonable to think that Biden's support is soft, Sanders isn't polling well for being the runner up last time, and that could leave room for a third candidate to make a run with some good early results if they have the fundraising to capitalize on it. Harris/Warren/Buttigieg/Booker all seem somewhat plausible for that role.

OTOH maybe Biden just runs away with it.

[benjipwns]

I'd be very surprised if the first set of debates didn't shuffle up the board and cut Biden and maybe even Sanders down some. It'll be the first time a lot of people even see/hear the other candidates in this kind of context. Everybody who has done a cable news town hall has seen a tiny little bump.

I kinda feel bad for the candidates when they not only have to go through this process but also suffer from live Twitter commentary.

What’s behind Elizabeth Warren’s comeback in the polls

Morning Consult has found that Warren voters choose Sanders over Biden as their second choice in the primary. Sanders voters actually break solidly for Biden — which might suggest name recognition rather than ideology is a factor in his support — but a solid minority do split for Warren.

Fucking berniebros.

Steven Rattner, "car czar" and counselor to the Treasury secretary in the Obama administration, cites three different modelers in his N.Y. Times commentary, "Trump’s Formidable 2020 Tailwind."

The big picture: Trump wins all three modelers. Economists predict that the tailwind is large.

Ray Fair, a professor at Yale, "found that the growth rates of gross domestic product and inflation have been the two most important economic predictors — but he also found that incumbency was also an important determinant of presidential election outcomes."
"Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, has looked at 12 models, and Mr. Trump wins in all of them."
"Donald Luskin of Trend Macrolytics has reached the same conclusion in his examination of the Electoral College."

on the other hand: https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/05/25/scott-adams-president-trump-has-no-chance-of-re-election-due-to-the-masters-of-the-universe/

Author Scott Adams stated in a recent video that President Donald Trump has “no chance of re-election” due to the power of the social media Masters of the Universe to shut down conservatives.
Author and media personality Scott Adams stated in a recent video that he believes that President Trump’s chances of winning the 2020 selection cycle have been significantly lowered due to the power that social media has over public discourse. In a YouTube video titled “Episode 540 Scott Adams: Slaughtermeter Reset to Zero Due to Social Media Manipulation, Pelosi,” Adams discusses how Silicon Valley tech firms manipulate online discourse and how this can affect real-world elections, citing a recent incident surrounding a video of Nancy Pelosi as an example of this.



Adams begins the video stating: “You all know that I’ve been talking about what I call the slaughter meter. The slaughter meter is a measure of how the election will go and whether President Trump will win by a small slaughter or a large slaughter, and I update it based on current events so it’s not really a prediction it’s more like a moment in time in which the current conditions — if they were to continue until the end — would give you that result.”

He continues: “But of course, things always change so it’s not a prediction it’s just sort of a ‘if nothing changed this is where you’d end up.’ I have downgraded the slaughter meter from one hundred and forty percent where I said to myself the competition for the presidency is so weak that I couldn’t imagine any situation other than Trump dominating the election. I’ve reset that to zero so at my current thinking is that the president has no chance of reelection. Now remember the slaughter meter is if nothing changes, but of course, things will change so you don’t have to worry that this necessarily will be the condition on Election Day but the current situation would give him no chance.”

The Fresno Grizzlies are learning an old lesson the hard way: you can’t trust the internet.

Between games of a Memorial Day doubleheader, the Grizzlies aired what was supposed to be a moving tribute to fallen soldiers, a speech by the late President Ronald Reagan on sacrifice and courage in the name of duty. But as Reagan’s voice mentioned “enemies of freedom,” the video tucked present-day figures, including U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) between images of North Korea’s Kim Jong-Un and the late Fidel Castro of Cuba.

Obviously, the video — which you can watch here — wasn’t patriotic but a not-particularly-subtle bit of propaganda, one completely at odds with the concept of “moral courage” that Reagan spoke of earlier in the speech. The Grizzlies employee responsible for airing the video apparently didn’t watch it all the way through, according to the team.

The Grizzlies offered up an apology shortly after the incident, expressing regret for the “misleading and offensive editing, which made a statement that was not our intent and certainly not our opinion.”

I still can't (and won't) believe the likely candidates for 2020 are Trump, Biden and Sanders.

Jesus fuck, how did we get to a place where all the candidates are older than McCain was in 2008?

Ansell argued that Brewer’s radicalization was heavily influenced by what his wife, who was 17 at the time of the crime, had been reading online. “According to Nolan, she began with rightwing yet mainstream views such as those presented on Fox News,” Ansell’s sentencing memo said. “She then moved on to writings by Ben Shapiro and articles on Breitbart News which bridged the gap to the notorious white supremacist and anti-Semitic propaganda site Stormfront.”

Nolan Brewer “bought into the propaganda,” Ansell wrote.

How Trumpian, it was the girlfiend's fault.

The economists are forgetting about the lunacy of a Trump campaign being the hardest thing to beat.
By the time Biden has announced his first policy proposal Trump is already at a nuclear stand off with the vatican or in the process of leaving NATO.

Maybe they will fake an alien invasion and postpone the election. There's no telling what might happen between now and November 2020 that tips the scales.

Yes, but based on their 'models'.

Breh, your model ain't going to survive a Trump campaign.
He could end up with all states or 0 states.
