Big ass problem is that Trump fought all this weeks for making his reputation worse that calming people fears  for more than a week.

the points being made about bernie not getting the nomination aren't mutually exclusive....

did the DNC conspire against him? yes
but did he also fail to galvanize any voters not in college because adults realize that money doesn't grow on trees and making college free would completely destroy the value of a degree because it would eliminate scarcity? yes


Jesus fucking Christ... I guess the dozens of civilized countries that have free education are doing it wrong. Look at all the lack of scarcity they have!

The president did let Humphrey know and gave him enough information to sink his opponent. But by then, a few days from the election, Humphrey had been told he had closed the gap with Nixon and would win the presidency. So Humphrey decided it would be too disruptive to the country to accuse the Republicans of treason, if the Democrats were going to win anyway.

The rules are the rules. The popular vote doesn't mean shit and every politician knows that, she should have to. Just because California hipsters would vote for her even if she openly pleaded allegiance to Goldmann Sachs doesn't mean she wasn't a fucking terrible candidate for Democrats the way things have been shaped the last few years.

As opposed to the current way where people can't find work in their fields of study and are saddled with a shitload of debt. But you got that piece of paper, brehs.

Making university free doesn't automatically lead to everyone having a degree. That's where your logic is flawed.

There are other screws that can be tightened to limit access to higher education. The reason we have the same kind of STEM circlejerks and jobless liberal arts grad tropes in Germany (with its effectively free universities) is because those screws aren't as tight as they used to be (as well as the greater variety of degrees).

I guess we know what will be the first hot button issue when he'll be in office.
Meanwhile in the Gulf, Trump hopium is high.

http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/12/16/his-excellency-sheikh-donald-of-the-house-of-trump/

Quote
After Obama, any change in the White House would have been welcomed here. (...)

In the same Fox News interview in January, Trump suggested that Saudi Arabia should “help us economically” in return for protection from Iran. “The economic relationships are going to be quite simple: Pay me and I’ll keep Iran away,” Mannai said. “It’s a simple formula: Whatever you can give me and I’ll give you things in return.” (...)

Yet no matter where policies do or don’t align, one thing does seem apparent: Gulf leaders are likely to get along better personally with Trump than they ever have with Obama. The art of the deal is alive and well here.

Quote
One of the first things Trump did when he sat down in the sunny corner conference room at Trump Tower and saw that almost all the 20 or so faces around the room were Orthodox Jews was summon some Orthodox Jews of his own to the room — including an executive vice president at The Trump Organization.

Quote
On some substantive policy questions, the Republican front-runner for president didn’t answer at all, instead delegating the question to Greenblatt, a real estate attorney from Teaneck, New Jersey — one of two people he said he’d appoint as his White House Israel policy advisers.

Here’s Trump’s answer to a question on whether religious employers should have the right to discriminate on the basis of religion when it comes to hiring:

“That’s the question that’s been asked and discussed very brilliantly on many different levels over the last short period of time,” Trump said. “And I’m going to really leave that decision to you. That’s your personal decision. What would your answer be to that question?”
