The good thing is that now these shifty tactics of his are out in the spotlight. He made it through the primary with no one holding him responsible for bad votes, his call to primary Obama, his willingness to sabotage out of political purity, etc...but now that he helped bring us here he will never enjoy that kind of honeymoon again.

At least do it the way Schumer is. I am no Schumer fan but at least the democrats are heading off the infrastructure issue by releasing their own bill tomorrow. And it's smart because it's something they know the GOP has no interest in but Trump has peddled for. Now Trump wants to privatize and such but if that can be pushed aside to an extent at least we might get something bearable. Bernie just says "he'll work with Trump" with no trade plan published of his own or on the table.

We Hillary supporters saw it but I think more are and certainly the democratic party itself knows it. I was originally kind of pissed at Schumer for seeing him buddying up to Sanders but I now realize he's using him because he knows at least right now Sanders has a following. I think he's going to use him until the DNC gets their act in order and someone else starts stepping to the front. Booker is already I think making inroads and a couple of others are going to gain cross country exposure and support as well. Once that happens, Bernie will be pushed off to the side.

 

Yeah but honestly I do think even if Obama were still in or Hillary got in it would have moved forward. Not this quickly perhaps.

Plus Bernie's up for re-election in 2018. I know that Al Giordano has discussed a primary challenge. If that happens I think you'll see some Dems help out in the background. I know that I'll throw money at the guy. Maybe if Bernie has to focus on Vermont, he'll have less time to screw over the country.

    • OLD P&G ACTORS? Where is this coming from? In case you've forgotten, which would be hard to do because of TIDE and Febreze P&G is one of the sponsors of this new soap we love!!! Also Lindstrom never worked on a P&G soap. Cady, of course, did, but that's because she has worked for everyone!!!  Who else? TTunie? You don't want her around because of Jessica on ATWT? Agree to disagree if so!!! And, KaMo just because she was on GL? I cannot go there with you. Sorry. Not sorry!  
    • Oh yes, The Bay, haha. She was... decent? Trust me... I hate the friendship, and the same goes with Anna/Sonny, which is why I adored when Patrick Mulcahey came in and said, "This isn't happening anymore!" And it felt amazing to me!
    •   I really like your analysis.   This isn't about a stereotype of black men being cheaters.  This is about a soap opera in which one couple was regarded to be flawed and the other regarded to be perfect, but there were issues underneath the supposedly perfect one.       Very good point that they started the show in these early months with a classic  sex and betrayal story to get people hooked.  I agree with you that we'll see more aspects and layers of all the characters as the months and years go by.
    • Oh, I didn't know that about Melgar.  She's not a GH alum I particularly follow obviously lol.  I remember she had a brief period of relevance when she did that web soap and people were saying she was a good actress.  Not on GH lol, but that's for the classic thread. It's just too much of a friendship. They can be pals or co-grandparents or whatever, but Laura should not like Sonny THAT much.  And who in life blathers on about how much they enjoy one another's friendship for multiple days/episodes?  Lol. The part of the audience that likes Sonny (myself included) should know Sonny sucks and just accept it.  He's an awful human and I hate him 90% of the time but I like him 10% more than anyone on this board lol.  I don't need Laura or anyone in town to prop him up to me and I doubt people that dislike Sonny would be convinced to like him just because Laura apparently has horrible taste in friends and husbands, but I digress.  
    • I do not buy that. I mean, I didn't go by Laura for years to be somehow accepting of rapist Luke. Why now would I go by her about our favorite narcissist Sonny? I wouldn't. Laura has never exhibited what you might call good judgment when it comes to people. I mean, she hasn't, you know?!!! Think of Esme!!!! Technically it was the 2000s. 
    • In the new Soap Hub Says podcast they now refer to Bill as BilltheFixer. I love it!!! The moniker fits. 
    • I see people saying this a lot but I always thought both things were plot points with a specific purpose. Martin running for president (something that would've been years down the line) was just to give us an opportunity to learn about his secret and that it involves Anita and Vernon. Naomi's lawsuit was used to develop her relationship with Bill and highlight his health issue. Those cases are almost always settled out of court so I didn't find anything odd about that, it was all about Naomi and Bill. I do wonder if Mike might've had better chemistry with Jen Jacob. At this point I feel he's right there with Derek in terms of being a weak link. He's a better actor but he doesn't have chemistry with anyone. These are the two characters I really hope they get a handle on in coming months.
    • From the original report, via Variety (December 2020): ❝ The project is currently titled Pine Valley, named after the fictional Philadelphia suburb that served as the setting for All My Children. In the new series, a young journalist with a secret agenda comes to expose the dark and murderous history of a town named Pine Valley only to become entangled in a feud between the Kane and Santos families. ❞
