I'm seeing a tiny bit of a thawing towards Bernie from some of the Warren people that I follow on Twitter.

He tries to use it only when it fits.
but there were two other candidates in the R primary, even if they obviously won't win against an incumbent, so it doesn't fit at all. i think he's basically just leftist nintex tbh.

It didn't fit, that's why he deleted it. Good thing nachobro pointed it out afterwards.

:lol bill weld getting 9% and joe walsh getting 1% or w/e was surprising but of course meaningless. probably why they got so many votes in the first place

also in NH you can vote in both primaries anyway. you can literally vote for the D, change your party, and go right back in to vote for the R all in the same location. :lol

A few months ago this shit seemed boring. Biden would run against Trump and win in a landslide. But Biden is senile and that makes it lit.

So now we get one of these:
The Battle of the Billionaires - Trump v. Bloomberg
Will you hit my Employees before I fire them - Trump v. Amy
Capitalism vs. Socialism Superbowl - Trump v. Bernie
The Shower Thoughts of Who's this guy? - Trump v. Pete
Campaign with me at Wounded Knee - Trump v. Warren
Mental Breakdown 2020 Sponsored by Burisma - Trump v. Biden

And everything's still possible so maybe HRC returns from the depths.

WASHINGTON — While the Democratic National Committee over the past 10 days has tried to distance itself from the troubled app that threw the results of the Iowa caucuses into disarray, a copy of the contract and internal correspondence provided to Yahoo News demonstrates that national party officials had extensive oversight over the development of the technology.

The Democrats’ Iowa caucuses took place on Feb. 3, but the outcome is still in question following a series of issues related to the failure of an app that was supposed to be used to submit results. In the days since the debacle, DNC Chair Tom Perez has criticized the Iowa Democratic Party, which ran the caucuses, and the developer of the app, Shadow Inc.

An unaffiliated Democratic operative in Iowa provided Yahoo News with a copy of the contract between Shadow and the Iowa Democratic Party. The contract, which was signed on Oct. 14, 2019, and refers to Shadow as the “Consultant,” specified that the company had to work with the DNC and provide the national party with access to its software for testing. 

“Consultant agrees to work with the DNC Services Corporation / Democratic National Committee (‘DNC’) on an on-going basis as Consultant develops the software,” the contract reads.

The contract also specifies that Shadow agrees to “provide DNC continual access to review the Consultant’s system configurations, security and system logs, system designs, data flow designs, security controls (preventative and detective), and operational plans for how the Consultant will use and run the Software for informational dissemination, pre-registration, tabulation, and reporting throughout the caucus process.”

An email provided to Yahoo News also appears to show that Seema Nanda, the CEO of the DNC, and Kat Atwater, the national party’s deputy chief technology officer, were involved in drafting the contract and requested the addition of the provision that gave them access to Shadow and the app. In the email, dated July 30, 2019, Atwater provided an IDP official with draft text for the provision detailing the DNC’s access to the app. Atwater, in the email, said the provision was specifically requested by Nanda.

RCP does a straight average, no wonkery (beyond how it drops out the oldest polls), and it's got the same thing happening: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/2020_democratic_presidential_nomination-6730.html

It’s factoring in “no one” somehow. I still think it’s too early to say that no one will get 1990. We have too many candidates splitting the vote, but it’s only a matter of time before people start running out of money and dropping out.

It says there's a 37% chance that no one gets a majority. That means there's a 63% chance someone will.

Nate got dragged in 2016 for giving Trump a 25+% chance of winning. All the true experts like Sam Wang were saying it was 99%, HuffPost said 98%, NYTimes said 91%, etc.

Wrong predictions are not Nate's issue, it's that he continues to think there's more data available than there is to create his model out of. (Which is, alas, common.)

A lot of polls still place Biden fairly high even though he's pretty much cratered in both primaries so far. I wouldn't really place too much stock in what they say since there's pretty obviously some consent manufacturing going on in favor of some candidates. Basically if you're in favor of anybody you'd better show up for them when it's your states turn.

Biden's lost a third of his support nationally over the last two weeks.

There's a good chance he's down to single digits if he bombs in Nevada and SC too. And that would effectively mean his campaign is over.

I know. I think his model accounts for people like Warren/Buttigieg/Klobuchar splitting all remaining delegates so that Bernie will have a harder time hitting 1990. I think people will drop out sooner, meaning the the remaining candidates get more delegates than the model predicts.

He can't just throw people out of the model, that'd be malpractice. The lower bounds where they win no delegates serves the same purpose.

Attorney General William Barr told ABC News in an interview that aired Thursday that President Trump had never asked him to do anything in a criminal case but advised the president to stop tweeting about the Justice Department, saying it makes it “impossible for me to do my job.”

The remarks are a significant and rare public break by the attorney general from the president, following days of controversy surrounding the Department of Justice's (DOJ) decision to lessen a sentence for Trump ally Roger Stone after the president tweeted about his displeasure with the gravity of the original sentence recommendation.

“I think it’s time to stop the tweeting about Department of Justice criminal cases,” Barr told ABC.
