don't get me started on benji, he listens to nu metal. His parenrs really let him down when they raised him

[TVC15]

They let us all down

[Mandark]

why? Biden's campaign married itself to Obama's popularity.

Because Biden's running on the idea that he'll be able to reconcile with Republicans. Posting a clip of another candidate saying "we have very different perspectives but still have some things in common blah blah" is right in line with that.

Plus if you go back and look at how Biden talked about the Tea Party in real time, I can guarantee you he wasn't condemning it as a racist movement that needed to be ostracized.

if you look at his follow up tweets, he worked in the repubs lynching and burning an effigy of Obama at the tea party rallies

Vice President Joe Biden joined House Democrats in lashing tea party Republicans Monday, accusing them of having “acted like terrorists” in the fight over raising the nation’s debt limit, according to several sources in the room.

Biden was agreeing with a line of argument made by Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) at a two-hour, closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting.

“We have negotiated with terrorists,” an angry Doyle said, according to sources in the room. “This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money.”

Vice President Joe Biden called the tea party “crazy” in a private meeting with black clergy members, according to a report.

A source tells CNN that at a closed-door meeting in South Carolina with 100 black clergy members on Tuesday, he directed harsh criticism toward the Republican Party.

“This is not your father’s Republican Party,” Biden said, according to CNN. “This is a different breed of cat, man. I am not making a moral judgment, but I will tell you that they have no judgment.”

He continued, “If [Republicans] win again, we are going to get no consensus on anything for the next two, four, six years. but if we beat some of these folks, it’s going to give some spine to the Republicans who know better. If we win, will turn things around. There will be a consensus.”

BIDEN: I would say sometimes yes. By and large, its been the tail wagging the dog. There are a lot of good people involved in the Tea Party, their objective is, they don't want government involved in anything. They're not liberal or conservative, they're anti-government, so their ends are met best when nothing happens, but you can not sustain a democracy without arriving at a consensus.

Vice President Joe Biden likened the Occupy Wall Street movement to the tea party at a forum in Washington on Thursday, saying both were driven by middle-class frustration with government bailouts of corporate America.

“What is the core of that protest, and why is it increasing in terms of the people its attracting? The core is that the bargain has been breached with the American people. The core is that the American people do not think the system is fair or on the level,” Biden said at forum sponsored by the Atlantic magazine and the Aspen Institute at the Newseum in Washington.

Vice President Joe Biden falsely claimed in an interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Tuesday that he had never insulted or denigrated the tea party.

Matthews asked Biden why Democrats had not been fighting on issues like immigration, trade, and foreign wars, which Donald Trump used to rally supporters in the Republican primary.

"You never heard me criticize the tea party. The reason I didn't is because a lot of people are scared, beat up, and they lost a lot," Biden said.

The gop strategy may work for those in conservative fairy tale land who only watch fox newz, but for the rest of us they look like pitiful little weasels who have no presentable evidence to counter the obvious proof. Not one single person in the WH has come under oath to say dotard didn't do these things because perjury is a bitch.

[Joe Molotov]

The Republican argument isn't even that he didn't do it, but that it wasn't a big deal and everyone is out to get Trump. How many times today have they been corrected for quoting Vindman incorrectly?

Lindsay Graham has even said that his foreign policy is so chaotic that it’s impossible for him to have intent.

[Nintex]

It all comes down to whether or not you agree that a President can set US foreign policy all by himself
or if there's an 'official policy' that he has to carry out on behalf of the State Department and diplomats.

https://twitter.com/TimMurtaugh/status/1196811063867645952

The Bush people set foreign policy themselves and made sure all branches were filled with people on the same page.
Obama didn't pay as much attention to foreign policy and left it to Clinton(later Kerry) and the career diplomats.
With Trump it's sort of a mixture of the career diplomats trying to hold their 'official policy' together and Trump lobbing hand grenades.

[kingv]

Nah.

[agrajag]

him setting American foreign policy vs using the office to set the Donald Trump foreign policy is why he's getting impeached.

Didn't the first few years of Obama trigger the creation of the Tea Party? Are those same people going to rise up again?

St. Anselm seems to have pretty consistently had Bernie lower than the other polls in the state, fwiw.

[ToxicAdam]

A better comp for Buttgeig would be Howard Dean. He also had a pretty significant wave of good polls around a similar time and then lost most of that momentum when it came time to vote. That's why his 3rd place finish was viewed as so devastating even though he wasn't a national candidate.

That was my overall point about the tea party, but you're conflating time periods here. Reagan Republicans were not the same as tea party ppl. Many of them had a previous voting history of Reform party or Libertarian party preferences.


Southern Strategy talk is just a way for democrats to deflect criticism that they were the stewards for the South and Rust Belt cities that were stagnant or quickly eroding for decades post 50s. Decades of this ineffectual governing and corruption led many to vote Reagan instead. But dems don't want to acknowledge that... they'd rather just blame it on racism.

Weird that this caused southern states to retroactively vote for Strom Thurmond over Harry Truman in 1948.

That's certainly what it seems like, but again I'd expect him to be constantly flipping out in public and not just tweeting insults and insinuations at war heroes and life long career diplomats who are testifying to Congress. I have to think he's actually being sedated or is at least being denied his speed.

The only plausible explanation is that he's had a major health crisis and is on death's door.

I certainly wouldn't want him to die anytime soon. I hope he lives long enough to see it all crashing down, is publicly disgraced along with his entire clan and then shunned by all his former cronies and supporters (who will then claim to never have supported him in the first place).
