I’m proud of Pete for putting ego aside and doing the right thing. Considering he has more votes and delegates that Klobuchar and Warren, they should be embarrassed at this point. Warren is literally only playing for a contested convention and had no path to the nomination.

ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
I always wondered what happened to Aubrey Dollar. I'm surrpised she hasn't had a bigger career. Definitely gonna check that show out.

ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
I had no idea! I only paid attention when they first announced it and it was vague what it would even be. I honestly didn't think much would come of it until I saw that trailer. Now I'm all in!

ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
This is amazing and was so unexpected! I love how much she's been working in primetime lately and a high profile film like this is a nice bonus. I never expected them to include her when this was announced, now she's one of the main reasons Twitter is going crazy over the trailer! And again it shows the value in her an actress and it's a shame that once again Daytime is stuck in the stone age not appreciating an actress as strong as her.

Honestly I feel like she should drop out. Her campaign has been a total disappointment to me. There is no reason she should be where she is right now in the campaign. Like others, she ignored black voters and I remember when asked if SC should go sooner because it's a more diverse state she said she's just a "player in the game" and ignored it just like she's ignored black voters. She's played catch up in the final weeks, but the investment really wasn't there. It was a given SC wouldn't go for Bernie, but she could've carved a path out for herself if she cared to do so. I don't have sympathy for her or Pete or Amy. They did this to themselves. I think all three need to drop out, along with Bloomberg.

The debate was a mess overall, but one big missed opportunity was when Elizabeth Warren was hitting Mike Bloomberg on being a republican and he completely bumbled the response. Why wouldn’t he mention that she was a republican until she was 50?! I couldn’t believe he got tripped up by THAT especially coming from her. Overall I though Bernie was a mess when confronted, which is why more should’ve done that and sooner. Also, Warren is clearly wasting people’s money and running for Bernie’s VP. It was incredibly obvious. Biden had a good night. I feel Pete did too, but Pete, Amy and Steyer are still wasting people’s time.

Tyler Perry uses this mysterious ratings drop as the reason he doesn't have a writing room, but the real reason is because he didn't want the writers to be in the union and didn't want to pay them. Nobody ever calls him out on it, but that is literally the only reason. His shows are horrific and it's a shame because they could be better with more people involved to execute his vision. It amazes me he has a show called SISTAS, with no black women writing.

If y’all can find Bernie’s full interview on 60 Minutes, I highly recommend it! Anderson Cooper took him to task on so much, including his piss poor record in the senate.

I can’t STAND her ass! Ugh. If she takes down Monique and Karen I’m taking to the streets!

Karen better not play any games with us! I hadn’t even heard any rumors that she had a rough season! Without her I just don’t know what would happen. She is the glue that holds that show together!

@DRW50 Something that surprised me with the Nevada caucus is that Warren voters second choice votes went to Biden once she didn’t reach the threshold. I expected them to go to Bernie. I wouldn’t be surprised if Pete and Amy’s votes did swing his way if they dropped out. Also, many have mentioned the down ballot races and it’s true that not one Bernie endorsed candidate won in a swing district in 2018. AOC and he himself have made it clear they plan on going after so many established Democrats, I’m worried their eye won’t be on the prize to focus on flipping seats from R to D. They’re trying to flip from D to Whatever u call Bernie’s party. They’re even trying to get Nancy Pelosi out! Nobody can convince me we will keep the House or gain the Senate regardless of if he wins or not. How can they when they’re trying to vote people out instead of adding to our numbers? It’s insanity. This ain’t the election for that. Everybody seems to have tunnel vision from the refusal to drop out and then primarying Democrats in a Trump era.

Biden still got around 40% of the black vote in Nevada. I think what is going to hurt him in SC where he polls second, is the split vote. If Amy and Pete dropped out now, Biden would easily win SC and he'd be in a better shot for Super Tuesday. Texas and Florida would complete the turnaround for Biden. The problem is, nobody is going to drop out. There isn't a leader who can go to an Amy or a Pete and tell them to stand down and run for Governor or Senate. They have absolutely no logical path to the nomination even if Biden and Bloomberg drop out, so it's just a shame they won't drop out so he can unite the moderate vote. Bernie is gonna end up winning everything with 30-40% of the vote and then people gonna be looking crazy wondering why he isn't polling better in a head to head with Trump.

nevada doesn’t want what happened in Iowa to hit them so they’re slowly releasing the results to make sure their correct. In general I find caucuses stupid so I’m not understanding why this is a thing. As for the nomination, it looks like Biden may be second here. If he also does well in SC, that could carry him to Super Tuesday. This next debate these idiots need to band together and go after him. I also think a big problem is the moderate vote being split. Bernie is not winning by big margins overall. Pete and Amy need to drop out. Period. Pete and Amy have no path and are splitting the moderate vote. If they dropped out then Biden would easily be winning this nomination. With this many people in the race it’s easy for Bernie to slide through. He does have a base, it just isn’t large enough to win. Especially when he and his fans keep tellling people he doesn’t need their vote. They need more than his base to win. Russia loved Bernie because they know Trump will easily beat him. With voter suppression and the oppo research ready to come out, Bernie is done the second he gets the nomination.

@DRW50 The only way Ivanka wouldn’t get it is if he didn’t decide to pick her. At this point he can do anything he wants. Nobody is going to stop him on anything until he is out of office.

How do y’all know it’ll be Pence and not Ivanka or Nikki Haley as Trump’s running mate? I honestly feel any republican running can beat Bernie. Bernie is literally tweeting that he doesn’t need the Democratic establishment. His small base can’t overtake everybody and you can’t convince people to vote for you by constantly saying you don’t need them.

The Politics Thread
Bernie welcomed all the help last time. He always votes in Russia’s favor. He voted against the sanctions every time. When I say he’s the liberal Trump I truly believe that. There is no way he can logically which is why Trump desperately wants him. Russia benefits from him as the nominee as well because that gives them an easy opponent from Trump who they need to survive. It’s a damn shame. Wow! He knew and hadn’t said a word! Imagine how different things could be if people knew this.

Now I’m so confused. So Teresa ended her friendship with Danielle for defending herself by saying Teresa and the shop owner were egging her on to pull Margaret’s ponytail. I guess Teresa denied it which is how the flashback comes into play. Why would Teresa end her friendship with Danielle for telling the truth? I expected Danielle to do something unforgivable but this makes it seem like Tre was using Danielle when she needed an ally and attack dog.

That is the excuse they use, but not having a better handle on the black community in particular is wrong in 2020. Black people come through always, particularly in 2018 when nobody expected us to do well (bc nobody was thinking of black voters). We are expected to vote democrat no matter what when we get nothing out of it. The people elevated don’t even care about us. They just want our votes. To me that’s wrong.

Bravo needs to start doing announcements like this! They have never had a bad HW so I am excited and looking forward to my queens returning!

She is just a disgrace to me. She has COMPLETELY ignored minority voters, issues and events unless forced to attend because everybody else is. She’s finding a bit of success and NOW she wants to reach out? That is so disingenuous. We are literally to the point of voting and she’s only reaching out bc she has no choice. Of all the candidates I feel she’s been given the biggest pass, even more so than Bernie. Absolutely no vetting at all and the media never made her face the reality of her shortcomings.

Saved By the Bell
That is really sad to see. I can understand them not thinking to include her due to her health concerns and the fact that she’s basically retired, but that’s why you should always ask. I hope this has a positive ending and they ask her to come back in some form. Lisa Turtle was iconic and it would be lovely to see her again.

Oh that is a great price! I’m going to do the full year membership. That’s less than $3 a month which is cheaper than most add on channels on Amazon Prime. I hope this is successful enough they consider doing other soaps. Or maybe this will inspire P&G to do something with their soaps.

Thank you for that! She looks the same as she did on Texas, just with a different hairstyle.

Peyton Place
Was that from the hour long pilot? I'd *love* to see that! I knew that pilot included Selena Cross as a character, but I had no idea they had another Allison. Mia Farrow was perfection in that role though so I'm glad they changed things. What the writers and Farrow did with Allison took what could've just been another soap good girl and made it something really special. I don't think I've seen a character like that executed so well. I love that if you look at her journey she truly reacted as if she lived on a soap. Allison felt everything and it truly transformed her, leading to a perfectly logical exit. I don't think an exit like hers could work today, but it had such an impact on me when I first saw it.
