Isn't this a good reason for Bernie to be a VP pick? Are any of these candidates VP picks that pull in states that otherwise would go to GOP?

Michael Brooks just jogged my memory.

Remember when Trump said this

Quote

You know, the left plays a tougher game, it’s very funny. I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher. Okay? I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad.

Gold prices surged through $1,500 a troy ounce for the first time in over six years, driven by demand for a safe haven asset amid growing concerns about a slowdown in the global economy.

The precious metal rose by 2 per cent to trade at $1,503 a troy ounce, the highest level since April 2013, as US stock markets fell and bond yields rose.

The comeback of Seb Gorka after he was kicked out of both the White House and Fox News is something to behold.
One endorsement from Trump that he liked his new show, and boom Gorka's back on Fox and everywhere else.

Still, he missed his calling of being cast as a Bond villain.

Billionaire Leslie Wexner on Wednesday accused his former money manager Jeffrey Epstein of misappropriating millions of his fortune.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Wexner, the billionaire behind Victoria's Secret, issued a statement to members of the Wexner Foundation, alleging that more than $46 million of his family's fortune was uncovered after the L Brands CEO decided to cut ties with Epstein in 2007.

The Journal reported that Wexner began severing ties with Epstein after allegations emerged involving Epstein's sexual abuse of underage girls.

“We discovered that he had misappropriated vast sums of money from me and my family,” Wexner told the foundation Wednesday, according to the Journal. “This was, frankly, a tremendous shock, even though it clearly pales in comparison to the unthinkable allegations against him now.”

“All of that money — every dollar of it — was originally Wexner family money,” he said, according to the Journal.

If the dems primary Biden, they'll have learned nothing from the past 4 years.

I could see being leery about Warren from Clinton's BIGLY failure, but 1) Warren isn't Clinton and doesn't have the Clinton baggage in the rust-belt, mid-west, south and 2) Warren's policies nearly align with Sanders for the most part (not 1:1, but progressive-ish, I guess you could say) to where if Warren was nominated, a lot of the Bernie folks wouldn't balk.

Quote

Andrew Yang, the entrepreneur running an outsider presidential campaign centered on the promise of a universal basic income, has qualified for the fall Democratic primary debates.

Yang crossed the second of two required debate thresholds on Thursday, when he polled at 2 percent in a Monmouth University poll in Iowa. He had previously received at least 2 percent in three other polls approved by the Democratic National Committee and has hit the required 130,000 unique donor mark

Quote

At the other end of the spectrum, onetime Democratic phenom Beto O'Rourke was eclipsed by Yang in the first-in-the-nation voting state, clocking in at under 1 percent./quote]

Tucker is mulling replacing Pence on the 2020 ticket now that Nikki Haley has openly let it be known that she isn't interested.

Also Yang will stay in this race as long as he can. In one of his interviews he said that the Presidency is nothing more but a popularity contest and he just needs time to be the most popular candidate among the Democrats.
He said there was no benefit to dropping out early before any votes are cast.

Another controversy erupted Wednesday after Weisman tweeted that the progressive political action committee Justice Democrats had backed an Ohio primary challenger “seeking to unseat an African-American Democrat, Joyce Beatty, who represents Columbus.” Morgan Harper, the challenger, responded to Weisman: “I am also black.” Weisman responded that he saw a photo with the endorsement.

Roxane Gay, an author and Times contributing op-ed writer, tweeted: “Any time you think you’re unqualified for a job remember that this guy, telling a black woman she isn’t black because he looked at a picture and can’t see, has one of the most prestigious jobs in America. Shoot your shot.”

Quote

Weisman asked Gay for an “enormous apology” in an email, a request that she posted on Thursday. Gay noted that Weisman also contacted her publisher, HarperCollins.

“Jonathan has repeatedly displayed poor judgment on social media and in responding to criticism,” a Times spokesperson said in a statement to POLITICO. “We’re closely examining what to do about it.”
