Trump’s performance at CPAC is emblematic of his version of the truth during his presidency — a potent mix of exaggerated numbers, unwarranted boasting and outright falsehoods. His speech helped push March 3 to his fourth-biggest day for false or misleading claims, totaling 104.” His base does not care! Many on the other thread also said they would go Libertarian or write in, which under normal circumstances is a great idea but NOT this time. Nor was it last time. A few million votes caused disaster in 2016.

linkI have been reading the responses on the GOP thread about the 2020 presidential election. So not to derail that thread I bring my question here. I’m amazed by the number who will not commit to voting for a Democrat until they know who it is. I can understand that if this was a normal election with normal people running. But there is nothing normal about any of this. Nothing. Because this is not a normal election, IMO, there are only two choices. trump and whoever the Democrats nominate. And yes, I’m hoping Sanders crashes and burns real soon. Which brings up my question. Why would any reasonable person even consider voting for this guy... From the Washington Post.. “President Trump has made 9,014 false or misleading claims over 773 days”From the article.. ”Powered by his two-hour stemwinder at the Conservative Political Action Conference on March 2 — which featured more than 100 false or misleading claims — President Trump is on pace to exceed his daily quota set during his first two years in office. The president averaged nearly 5.9 false or misleading claims a day in his first year in office. He hit nearly 16.5 a day in his second year. So far in 2019, he’s averaging nearly 22 claims a day. As of the end of March 3, the 773rd day of his term in office, Trump accumulated 9,014 fishy claims, according to The Fact Checker’s database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement uttered by the president. Trump’s performance at CPAC is emblematic of his version of the truth during his presidency — a potent mix of exaggerated numbers, unwarranted boasting and outright falsehoods. His speech helped push March 3 to his fourth-biggest day for false or misleading claims, totaling 104.” Well, that’s sort of how we got him in the first place. “Never Hillary”. It’s obviously a dangerous slope to go down.

I see Trump has no problems promoting his private business. Furthers UK relationship?.....no the penalty for corruption here is pretty high. The only relationship that Scotland has with Trump is one of disagreements on anything he tries to do.He forgets to mention that recently, a proposal to build 550 luxury villas at the Aberdeenshire course was delayed, having been the subject of a record number of complaints. He lost his fight in the high court to not have the the wind turbines built in the North Sea.....his objection was they spoilt the view from the golf course. He's destroyed ancient sand dunes and his golf courses are losing money right left and centre! Yeh I guess he has a lot to be proud of...not!

Citing ‘abortion,’ Trump trashes birth control, cancer screenings for poor women | EditorialToday 6:30 AM (03/04/19) Maybe, after a steady diet of Fox News fantasy, the president decided out of genuine conviction: Of all the problems in the world, and in our country, and in my White House, my priority is trolling low income women.Either way, that’s what the new rule he just finalized, effectively defunding Planned Parenthood, would do. It is, as always, peddled under the auspices of preventing abortion. But it would not prevent abortion. The irony is, by depriving poor women of birth control and basic health care at the few clinics available to them, you make abortion more common, not less. This new rule, which goes into effect in about 60 days – if it survives court challenges – puts preposterous new conditions on Title X money, a federal fund for family planning that has existed for decades. It’s money used to serve low-income women, allowing them to pay for cancer screenings and contraceptives on a sliding scale, to ensure that everyone, regardless of income, can access them. ** More at link: www.nj.com/opinion/2019/03/citing-abortion-trump-trashes-birth-control-cancer-screenings-for-poor-women-editorial.htmlLet's get rid of the poor people! What's new?

linkWhy is it ok to leave people behind? EPI “The Trump administration wants to prevent millions of workers from getting paid overtime”From the article... ”Bloomberg is reporting that, despite the painstaking determination of the threshold in the 2016 rule and the fact that that threshold is well within historical norms, the Trump administration is about to publish a rule with a dramatically lower threshold, around $35,000 a year for a full-year worker. A preliminary calculation suggests that well over half of the workers who would have gotten new or strengthened overtime protections under the 2016 rule would be left behind by this rule. That means this administration is effectively turning its back on millions of workers. Trump and his cabinet are again siding with corporate interests over those of working people.” Is

Press Democrat...
“Fast food at White House for North Dakota football champions”
“WASHINGTON — The smell of burgers and fries wafted through the State Dining Room as President Donald Trump celebrated the championship football players from North Dakota State on Monday with fast food, like he did when he honored the national champion Clemson Tigers.
Trump told the football team he could have had White House chefs prepare a meal, but "I know you people very well."
The players laughed with the president while eyeing stacks of Big Macs and Chick-fil-A sandwiches on a long table in the center of the room. A side table was piled with bags of french fries, kept warm under a light.
Trump served a similar spread that included hundreds of hamburgers to Clemson's players in January. He said he personally paid for that meal because much of the staff in the White House residence had been furloughed by a government shutdown.
The Bison, who have the most titles in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, ended the season on Jan. 5 with a 38-24 win over Eastern Washington University. Quarterback Easton Stick threw five touchdown passes, including two to Darrius Shepherd, who was named Most Outstanding Player with five catches and 125 yards.
It was the Bison's seventh national title in eight years.
"When you play with passion and love ... and relentlessly reach for excellence, nothing is impossible," Trump said.”

Because if y’all choose my current governor ( NJ Murphy ) who desperately wants to run for President. I doubt I’d vote for him. He’s so freaking stupid he has screwed up the DOT & thier snow removal. He’s had crews out salting for fog, multiple times. He doesn’t care about the ecological damage, he does carecwhere the money will come from. He has no clue how to even run the state. Has no clue who hired who on his cabinet ( or is lying ). Has no issue with firing qualified, dedicated, career employees and replacing them with un qualified people connected to that agencies new appointed boss or a relative. Does any of this sound familiar?? More polite & can string a sentence together better than Trump are not qualifications for being president. Sorry. Do better. So yes, it DOES matter who the democrats choose no point in jumping from frying pan to polite fire. And I know Murphy has not announced a run for 2020. He probably won’t. I think he’s shooting for later, or a VP nod. But we have a whole year and I’m not jumping on board an unknown train right now. As much as I want Trump out of office, I’m not committing to the unknown. That’s as stupid as voting for Trump just because he is the R candidate. Trust me there is no way in hell I could ever vote for Trump. I’m 95% sure my vote will be specifically against Trump. But that doesn’t give the Democrats carte Blanche to put up anyone Democrats should LISTEN to people who don’t want to vote for Trump but can’t commit to someone as far left as say Bernie. Y’all want to win the election? Then LISTEN. Actually HEAR what people want. Your not going to woo Trumps base. They are a list cause, purposefully obtuse about it. You have to entice all the ‘who the heck can I vote for’ people. Sorry, that’s not what y’all want to hear, but the people saying that are not blind sheeple followers voting for any R or any D. They are intelligent people using thier brains to try to make a choice. Find a candidate that appeals to those people and you have the election hands down. I doubt that person is Bernie.

linkThe Democrats running for office have a decision to make. They can either alienate roughly half of the Democratic Party, never mind the other half of the country, or they can work together to come up with a message that includes the views of the majority Democrats, with a message that could bring enough independents and conservatives over to our tent for at least one election cycle and restore normalcy to the wonderful world of politics. Whatever normalcy is, but it sure isn’t what is happening now. In my opinion this colorful column says what I have been trying to say. And I always like it when I find someone saying what I’m thinking but better. From the Washington Post.. “Centrist Democrats push back against party’s liberal surge”
“From the halls of Congress to the presidential campaign trail, Democratic moderates are beginning to push back against the wave of liberal energy and shoot-the-moon policy ideas that have captured the party’s imagination over the past two months.
They worry that the sweeping proposals and hardball tactics of liberal firebrands could alienate centrist voters in the 2020 election, even as they hold out hope that Democratic primary voters, focused on defeating President Trump, will check the party’s move to the left.
The moderates’ concerns came to a head this week when one of the newest Democratic stars appeared to threaten colleagues who would not toe the liberal line, raising the specter of a fracture in the party between moderates and purists, similar to a long-standing divide in the Republican Party.
At a closed-door meeting of House Democrats on Thursday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said some of her colleagues could find themselves “on a list” of primary election targets, after they voted for a Republican amendment requiring that undocumented immigrants who try to buy guns be reported to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to people in the room who were not authorized to comment publicly.
Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), a co-chairman of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, said he has confronted party leaders about such threats, which have also come from the Justice Democrats, a liberal group that backed Ocasio-Cortez’s primary campaign.
“Being unified means ensuring that Democrats aren’t primary-ing other sitting Democrats,” Gottheimer said. “Since when is it okay to put you on a Nixonian list? We need to have a big tent in our party or we won’t keep the House or win the White House.”
Some warned that imposing purity tests could lead to a Democratic version of the conservative tea party revolt that transformed the GOP in recent years. That surge has brought Republicans new energy and new voters, but it’s also cost the GOP some congressional races and legislative victories. Several Democratic presidential candidates, including many of the early entrants, have quickly endorsed sweeping liberal policies, including a Medicare-for-all health plan, a “Green New Deal” to combat climate change, and reparations for African Americans. Recently, however, some prospective candidates have been offering an alternative vision.
Sen. Michael F. Bennet (D-Colo.), who is contemplating a presidential run, said U.S. politics needs to return to a more civil place. He referred to the House Freedom Caucus, a group of purist Republicans that often opposes legislative compromises.
“We don’t have to settle for disgraceful politics. We don’t have to settle for being as terrible as Donald Trump,” Bennet said during a visit to Iowa on Feb. 21. “We don’t have to settle for Freedom Caucus tactics — those guys are tyrants. We don’t have to accept that.”
Liberal Democrats, including many new to Capitol Hill or national politics, argue that the party has been too timid, caving to Republican pressure and failing to inspire voters with calls for sweeping change. The surge of new voters in the midterm elections, they say, shows the excitement and support generated by such proposals. The centrists counter that liberal ideas and candidates have more power online and among the grass roots than at the ballot box and that the passions will probably fade in coming months, both in Congress and the presidential campaign. M John Anzalone, an Alabama-based Democratic pollster, said the perception that the party’s primary voters are enthusiastically liberal is not based on data.
“There is, without a doubt, a myth that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez somehow represents the narrative of Democratic primary voters in the country,” Anzalone said. “Almost half of them identify themselves as moderates or conservative.”That appears to be at least somewhat borne out by the midterms, when less-ideological candidates often won when facing purist opponents. Thirty-three of the 40 GOP seats that Democrats picked up were won by candidates who had been endorsed by the moderate NewDem PAC. A November Gallup poll found a pragmatic streak in the party — 54 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents wanted the party to become “more moderate,” while only 41 percent wanted it to be more liberal. That contrasted with the Republicans and their allies, 57 percent of whom wanted a more conservative party. The centrists do not necessarily argue that the ideologues are wrong but that purity comes at the price of progress. That lesson, said Matt Bennett, a spokesman for the moderate think tank Third Way, is now on display in the House — which just this week held a blockbuster hearing featuring Trump’s former personal lawyer and passed the first significant gun-control bill in a generation.
Without the people who flipped seats, there is no Speaker Pelosi, there is no Michael Cohen hearing, there is no background-check bill — there is only misery and Republican rule,” he said. “No one in the Democratic Party should be doing anything to jeopardize those seats. No one.”
For her part, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has been treading carefully — sidelining the most sweeping liberal proposals, playing down prospects of a Trump impeachment and scheduling weekly meetings to bring together leaders of the moderate and liberal factions. Thursday’s meeting threatened to open a new breach. After 26 Democratic moderates joined with Republicans to pass an amendment on a key gun-control bill, Pelosi said they should show more “courage” on politically sensitive votes, according to the people in the room. That struck some as tone deaf, as did Ocasio-Cortez’s comments about primary challenges. Ocasio-Cortez in a tweet Friday said she was not making threats but warning that the Democratic defectors “were inadvertently making a list of targets for the GOP and for progressive advocates” by voting with Republicans. The eruption followed weeks of growing tension between wings of the party. Freshmen who were elected on platforms of cleaning up big-money politics and fixing the heath-care system have found themselves voting on, and answering for, a different set of issues, and some are feeling the heat from their constituents. “A lot of people are complaining and expressing concerns about the Democratic Party being portrayed as socialist, or certain voices being louder than others,” said Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.), who unseated a GOP incumbent in a suburban Minneapolis district. The new liberal energy in the House is coming from candidates, including Ocasio-Cortez, who captured districts that generally favor Democrats. Some party strategists say liberal activists must recognize that their message would not work in more conservative areas. People would be wise to remember that, by definition, we have the House majority because people flipped seats from red to blue,” said Tyler Law, a Democratic consultant who helped direct the party’s communications efforts in 2018. “Seats that went from blue to blue did not deliver the majority.”The Democratic presidential primary contest, meanwhile, has so far been dominated by candidates pushing sweeping liberal policies. But several prospective candidates have begun warning against an overly aggressive liberal platform. At a house party last month in Waterloo, Iowa, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), who is exploring a run for the White House, was confronted by an activist who demanded that he support Medicare-for-all, rather than his current proposal to lower the age of Medicare eligibility. Brown said that’s not realistic. “My ideology says universal coverage today — just like yours does — but I want to make people’s lives better,” Brown responded, as he stood near the fireplace in a packed living room. “I know Congress won’t pass Medicare-for-all.” Over the coming weeks, a second wave of candidates could adopt a line closer to Brown’s. Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper, former New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe have all been preparing campaigns that would promise an ability to win over Trump voters. Each has been crafting campaign plans based on polling that shows an enormous appetite among Democratic-leaning voters for anyone who can defeat Trump, even if they do not hew to strict liberal policies. “You can be very progressive, liberal and left and also want to elect people to get things done,” said Anna Greenberg, a Democratic pollster who is advising Hickenlooper. “Primary voters are very comfortable holding both of those things at the same time. They don’t see it as either-or.” In the House, moderates like Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-Ore.) have been speaking up more about the merits of their approach, which tends to attract smaller audiences on Instagram and Twitter. “There are a lot of people that suck up a lot of oxygen,” Schrader said. “And then there’s the people that do the work. . . . We’re the ones who actually govern and make things happen. And I think we’re content with that.”

I think what would get tricky is if he decides to run as an independent. I agree that democrats should Be focusing on bringing a moderate candidate to the table, and I also don’t think that we should pander to people who have very different values. I get what you are saying as far as not voting for someone just because of the letter behind their name. But you also seem to be quite worked up and angry with democrats for the possibility that your governor will run and be the nominee—when he hasn’t even said he was running and I’m pretty sure not many people have heard of him.

Honestly, I doubt we'll pull many Republican voters no matter who we run. Based on the number of Republicans who "couldn't" vote for one of the best qualified centrist candidates in recent history, even though they saw Trump for the dumpster fire that he is, I have zero faith in any Republican voting for a Democrat ever. There will always be some reason why they "can't." It's not about what I want to hear. I'd love to believe that there are people who will cross party lines to help us remove Trump from office. My experience is that it just won't happen, at least not in numbers large enough to matter. FWIW, I don't think Bernie is the guy, either. And I don't think he'll be the nominee.

New Yorker Magazine The AtlanticI saw this tweet from Robinson Meyer.. ”A massive buildout of nuclear power could definitely cut carbon emissions… but it can’t singularly solve climate change. And it isn’t a moderate Green New Deal. My response to @sullydish:” It was in response to an article this @sullydish wrote in the New Yorker. From the New Yorker. “Here’s a suggestion: Focus on a non-carbon energy source that is already proven to be technologically feasible, can be quickly scaled up, and can potentially meet all our energy demands. What we need, given how little time we have, is a massive nuclear energy program. Sure, we can keep innovating and investing in renewables, and use as much as we can. But they are not going to save us or the planet in time. We know nuclear works and does so quickly. As argued in Scientific American:” The idea that anyone would consider a “massive nuclear energy program” is not only stupid but dangerous. This is the reality of any nuclear program “nuclear radiation “ and “disposal of nuclear waste” and “damage caused to nuclear plants by earthquakes and typhoons/hurricanes”. That being the case, why would any sane person want a “massive nuclear energy program?”

trump..
”Republican Approval Rating just hit 93%. Sorry Haters! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Washington Examiner...
”CPAC straw poll: Trump draws 93 percent approval, despite frustration among conservatives over tweets”
You never know where trump gets his information so I googled 93%. The real news would have been if the straw poll at CPAC had given him an approval rating of roughly what he currently has nation wide. But of course he wouldn’t have tweeted that number.

And if the Democrats pick a person as out of touch with REALITY as Trump? Yea, sorry, I reserve my choice to vote for a sane being. Because if y’all choose my current governor ( NJ Murphy ) who desperately wants to run for President. I doubt I’d vote for him. He’s so freaking stupid he has screwed up the DOT & thier snow removal. He’s had crews out salting for fog, multiple times. He doesn’t care about the ecological damage, he does carecwhere the money will come from. He has no clue how to even run the state. Has no clue who hired who on his cabinet ( or is lying ). Has no issue with firing qualified, dedicated, career employees and replacing them with un qualified people connected to that agencies new appointed boss or a relative. Does any of this sound familiar?? More polite & can string a sentence together better than Trump are not qualifications for being president. Sorry. Do better. So yes, it DOES matter who the democrats choose no point in jumping from frying pan to polite fire. And I know Murphy has not announced a run for 2020. He probably won’t. I think he’s shooting for later, or a VP nod. But we have a whole year and I’m not jumping on board an unknown train right now. As much as I want Trump out of office, I’m not committing to the unknown. That’s as stupid as voting for Trump just because he is the R candidate. Trust me there is no way in hell I could ever vote for Trump. I’m 95% sure my vote will be specifically against Trump. But that doesn’t give the Democrats carte Blanche to put up anyone Democrats should LISTEN to people who don’t want to vote for Trump but can’t commit to someone as far left as say Bernie. Y’all want to win the election? Then LISTEN. Actually HEAR what people want. Your not going to woo Trumps base. They are a list cause, purposefully obtuse about it. You have to entice all the ‘who the heck can I vote for’ people. Sorry, that’s not what y’all want to hear, but the people saying that are not blind sheeple followers voting for any R or any D. They are intelligent people using thier brains to try to make a choice. Find a candidate that appeals to those people and you have the election hands down. I doubt that person is Bernie. Honestly, I doubt we'll pull many Republican voters no matter who we run. Based on the number of Republicans who "couldn't" vote for one of the best qualified centrist candidates in recent history, even though they saw Trump for the dumpster fire that he is, I have zero faith in any Republican voting for a Democrat ever. There will always be some reason why they "can't." It's not about what I want to hear. I'd love to believe that there are people who will cross party lines to help us remove Trump from office. My experience is that it just won't happen, at least not in numbers large enough to matter. FWIW, I don't think Bernie is the guy, either. And I don't think he'll be the nominee. I didn’t vote for Trump. I was also capable of looking at all of the alternatives to Trump and see which one was most qualified. Despite having ‘normally’ voted for Republicans. I left that train in 2012 because they were already jumping the shark then. ( Probably before then, but I didn’t see it. )Your after moderate voters be they slightly left leaning or slightly right leaning. Of course the sheeple aren’t going to vote for anyone but Trump they actually think doctors are murdering babies without bothering to discern the truth.
