It's only a matter of time before someone yells, "Rape me, Bernie!" at one of his rallies.

 

 

Is it just me, or does anyone else suspect he might have done this as a preemptive strike against SDNY?

"But...but...her emails!  And his son!"

 

I don't trust polls anymore.  I CAN'T trust them anymore.  Fifty-eight percent say they disapprove of his performance as president.  Yet, come election day, the majority of those individuals will mark their ballots (again) for Trump.

 

 

Believe me, I had the same reaction as you, lol.

Yes. It doesn't matter that much what the disapproval rating is, if they will never vote for a Democrat under any circumstances and that's just where some of these folks are mentally.  I like Elizabeth Warren. I would probably pick her to be President, many Americans will fall for the socialist fear mongering. EW isn't even a socialist, but that won't matter.

 

It looks like KH is struggling.

Beto has dropped out. 

 

A great example of why someone should not run for President just because they did well in a race and the media likes them. 

 

If a Democrat wins the White House (........) hopefully there will be a role for him.

Frankly, I think Beto is much more cut out to be an activist, as his impassioned statements on gun control have proven.  The more the heat was turned up on him and his campaign, the more he appeared to wilt.  And when he came to Tulsi Gabbard's defense?  Well, I was basically done with him at that point, lol.

 

But the thing that gets ME is that I was so sure Buttigieg would be gone before Beto would.  Seriously, when is Mayor Pete gonna drop out already??

 

And -- it bears repeating -- WHAT THE [!@#$%^&*] IS MARIANNE WILLIAMSON STILL DOING THERE!?!?!?

 

 

Agree.

Buttigieg has been doing better than Beto in the polls, nationally and statewide, for a while now, and has tons of money. My guess is he will be in through Iowa and New Hampshire at least. He has no chance in South Carolina so if he doesn't do well enough in those two states he will give up.

 

Williamson is probably in for attention.

That, and her spiritual adviser/beautician has warned her that dropping out this early will rip her psychic force a new one.

 

 

My guess: he WILL do well enough in IA and NH to keep going -- for awhile, at least.  Regardless, though, I still see it coming down to Warren vs. Sanders vs. Biden at the DNC.

    • In some ways, the scene of Greg kissing Paige in front of Laura (or at least when she's at home) is tough to take as it feels like they are building his next romance in front of the woman they are dumping from the canvas, but I do appreciate that Laura was in no way bothered. She knew Paige wasn't a threat, and she also knew that even if Greg did move on, she had come through worse and wasn't going to let herself be in a Richard-like marriage ever again. I'm also glad they didn't ever try to have her choose a wife for him - not a fan of that trope. (although she probably would have chosen anyone, including Leona Helmsley, over Abby)
    • YR did air on the West Coast, only BOLD was a full pre emption They'll probably remove the BOLD episode once they realize lol 
    • Today's episodes of B&B and Y&R are both up at cbs.com. No idea how this is a "full preemption." These morons need to get their ish together.
    • I may have to take a break, Ambyr has me dang near crying every time I watch.

    • I think @DRW50 had it right when he said that the Lechowicks couldn't categorize Laura as easily as they could the other women on the show.  Laura wasn't vixenish like Abby, nor was she was a heroine in the same mold as Val or even Karen.  She was entirely down-to-earth, and more the type who plays things closer to the vest.  Plus, her marriage to Greg was pretty solid (with Laura knowing exactly the kind of man she'd married) to the point where splitting them up and keeping them apart would've taken more effort than perhaps they were willing to expend. I mean, it's easy to generate conflict between Mack and Karen, because Mack and Karen are both very stubborn people who believe they can handle crises on their own; and it's easy to generate conflict for Gary and Val, too, because each is basically an overgrown teenager who'd rather suffer in silence than just express to the other how they feel.  (If only Val had swallowed her pride and just taken Gary back when he begged her to, lol).  But, unless you're Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, you'll be at a loss over what to do with a mature, adult relationship like Greg and Laura's that is built on each being 100% aware of the other's flaws.  Greg sniffing around Paige?  If that had happened while Laura was still aware, she would've just smirked or rolled her eyes and moved on.
    • B&B has uploaded May 8th episode to cbs.com and paramountplus. I wonder if it will remain or be removed?
    • -- Off, indeed. I wrote my rant while watching the show. Then I heard Dante mention manslaughter and Danny in the same sentence. Just over-the-top ridiculousness. -- Is Brad written off for good? If so, what a lousy exit. -- Portia is looking sooooooo dumb these days. Just clueless as to how she's coming across.
    • As usual, Dani makes everything all about herself.   Sweetie.. this isn't about you.   I think deep down, the Dupree would be relieved if Dani wasn't around.
    • I watched it all. I was fine with her on both GH and on PC. But, what you describe for Llanview would've worked really well. I just think the whole concept of moving her from show to show was  in big trouble from the start. And, there were some specific blunders, like MAX, GMAB, she had no idea whether she'd had a boy or a girl and he was at least a decade older than any of the others.  I did very much like the idea that Myrtle was her mom.
