He shouldn't have run as a Democrat then.  He should've stood behind what he truly believed in on a platform that he believed in, to represent a party that he believed in.

 

At least Nader ran on a different platform because he truly believed that he was not of either Democrat or Replublican party. At this point, I have more respect for Nader than for Bernie.

He came up 1.4 points short. he performed very well IMPO. ad now he has two months to blast Trump and link the republican candidate to him. 

Fox News is preparing to cut ties with its biggest star, Bill O’Reilly, according to people close to the situation. A final decision on Mr. O’Reilly’s fate could come as early as the next several days, the people said. Mr. O’Reilly, host of “The O’Reilly Factor,” has been ensnared in a sexual-harassment scandal related to previously undisclosed settlements he and Fox News paid to women who worked on or appeared on his program.

I love ya, Bernie, but...have a seat.

 

And I KNOW better than to get my hopes up, but man, it would be so sweet to see Bill O'Reilly gone from Fox News.  (Next on the hit list: Sean Hannity.)

From here on out I'm done watching election results in real time. When I started looking at Georgia's returns Ossoff had 60 percent. Now everybody better strap in because the right wing is about to deploy every underhanded tactic they can in this race. There were already voting machines stolen a few days ago. 

 

As for Bernie, I just hope he follows in the footsteps of Ron Paul into well deserved irrelevance.

I don't know if anyone has read about the new book on Clinton's campaign but the NYT has a recap of it

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/17/books/shattered-charts-hillary-clintons-course-into-the-iceberg.html?_r=0

 

"As described in “Shattered,” Clinton’s campaign manager, Robby Mook — who centered the Clinton operation on data analytics (information about voters, given to him by number crunchers) as opposed to more old-fashioned methods of polling, knocking on doors and trying to persuade undecideds — made one strategic mistake after another, but was kept on by Clinton, despite her own misgivings."

 

I find this stmt interesting because Clinton was pretty much lauded for her ground game, or at least I thought she was, and the data analytic team was the same one Obama was praised for during his 2 campaigns.

I am not sure what anyone is taking credit for. Ossoff won almost 49% of the vote. In that district. He was polling around 45 the day before. I know people want every win but really Democrats need to temper a bit. Most were predicting he wasn't going to get over 50% yesterday.  As for the GOP, combined their percentage was 47% I believe.

 

 

So Chaffetz is not running for re-election. He's either going to try for Hatch's seat or Governor I'll bet.

    • That's because India, or the India MKA ended up playing, was created due to the fact that both she and Kristi Farrell were liked by TPTB, but the part they both read for didn't exactly fit either one of them so the show created two brand new characters for both actresses to play (India and Roxie) and opted not to cast the character they were intending to cast (A cousin of Beth's). I think that's why the show seemed to struggle at first with how to write both India and Roxie in their first months on the show because the characters weren't ever intended to exist.  And yes.. Grant A had a great body... but I didn't find him hot when he was playing Phillip.. only when he was playing Alec on AMC which baffles me since it was the same actor in both parts LOL  
    • I shared this on Twitter and good grief the comments. Steffy fans can be such vile real-life human beings over a fictional character lol.  
    • I remember Michael Logan interviewed L.A. actors/production staff about the movie. Susan Seaforth Hayes said she was dying to know Susan Lucci's reaction.
    • Thanks @Franko  @slick jones You may be interested in the Elisabeth Shue mention. I have to laugh that they apparently didn't even know Teri Hatcher was on Capitol. I have scans somewhere of SPW talking with soap actors about Soapdish. Some, like Mary Stuart, were not happy. I never had a lot of interest in the movie myself. 
    • I never had much of a problem with Brandon Claybon's performance as Martin. He has gotten much better though. While I enjoy his confrontational scenes, I must say his lighter, and carefree scenes from Thursday's episode are the ones that stood out most in the last 3 days (to me).   I agree with all of this!
    • I know that Secret Storm had moved back to the 4/3 PM timeslot in the final months on air, so it's possible that they were trying to employ new techniques/elements to lure the teen demographic.   If that episode was around November/December 1973, I do wonder if the owners (AHS) were still trying to shop the show to other networks still.. or if they had accepted that the show was going to officially go off the air in Feb 1974 at the time of this episode airing.
    • Jordan should have been killed or written out a decade ago.
    • Xander kidnapped her a few times when she was a baby I much prefer this bitchy version of Rafe to the dull one we have had for the past few years. Leo would get on my last nerve too and I would probably have snapped by now too. Loved Roman and Doug3. My favourite scenes today. Much better than his forced kindness to Ava. About time somebody pointed out Sophia is an adult any minute and can decide her own life. This is not Handmaid's Tale. I bet Mrs Choi snatches that baby though if Sophia signs it over to 'strangers'
