That's not good. In 2008, one should have been well aware of the NRA being nothing but a gun lobby. I'm a big proponent of what's called 'historical perspective', which means assessing people against the norms of the time. For example, Abe Lincoln probably wasn't for desegregating schools. JFK probably didn't support gay marriage. That doesn't make them bigots. Those were far off concepts at the time. One should have been critical of the NRA in 2008.Ledbetterman10 said:
Yeah, because now she's a running for the democratic nomination and thus she has to hate the NRA.mickeyrat said:

Dems are screwed because trump's entire platform is the exact opposite of what he believed in the majority of his adult life.
Yet Rs dont care. Not in the slightest. They vote for him with more joy than even voting for Reagan.
A dem shifts on one issue? It's the end of her campaign.
Although she did walk right into this. She could have prefaced her comment.

He's got a good head on his shoulders. He's funny. He comes off to me - as very, very sound.Lerxst1992 said:Spiritual_Chaos said:

My favorite moment with him that I've captured:
I love him. I wish to someday catch a tambourine from him.

I don't know if that makes them screwed, although it's obvious that Trump has no set of principles or a moral center.Lerxst1992 said:mrussel1 said:

I hope that happens for you man. I like him a lot too. He's no Elizabeth Warren, but he's pretty great.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
If we talk candidates and not news shows hosts -- then Queen Elisabeth is my favorite, in a lot of ways.PJ_Soul said:Spiritual_Chaos said:

But I fear she would have a hard time with mocking-Trump in a debate - with her being very "correct" and a bit "stiff" and not really has that Aaron Sorkin-written flair.
She also has a voice that you wouldn't be able to hear if you sit next to her in a noisy pub. I don't think she will be as able to dominate a room or a debate stage.
But let's see what happens in June in the first debate.Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

He can throw me a tambourine too. But I wouldn't cherish it like Chris Matthews.PJ_Soul said:

I'd love to love Warren. But when Trump mocked her DNA tests she had no comeback. Trump made her look foolish. A candidate needs to br able to go toe to toe with trump
Also she does not understand how to package her ideas to Americans. I'd love more healthcare protections but I am not sure I am ready for forcing everyone off of their private insurance and onto medicare. She cant sell me and most people might call me the most liberal person they know.
Warren (and Sanders) do not understand what sells in this country, especially in critical swing states.0 -
Like Bill Maher said, she should have gone all in on calling him "Brokaphontas" (as an example)Lerxst1992 said:Spiritual_Chaos said:

Warren support breaks double digits: poll

To be fair, it's only 1 point increase and within the MOE. What's becoming increasingly clear is Warren and Sanders are exchanging support. I wonder if the far left wing can break 30 to 35% of the party.dignin said:Warren support breaks double digits: poll

She has momentum. 1 point since the last poll but on the upwards trajectory for awhile now when lots of pundits had written her off.mrussel1 said:

Go Warren go!
My guess is Biden has no place to go but down, that's why I suspect he has been staying clear of certain events. Falling into the front runner trap and playing it safe. Warren has no place to go but up.0 -
She is an extremely interesting person. And he said she's not funny.Spiritual_Chaos said:John Waters talks about Elisabeths Warrens problem with being boring on Bill Mahers latest episode. At like 5 minutes:https://youtu.be/JPz8CtSv9uM0 -
Biden will be smoked after he slurs his way in old-man-slow-motion through the first debate.
This is the age of twitter soundbytes and podcasts on 1.5 speed. No one has the time for "the eagles soar over our beautiful land, the majestic vistas and people, ordinary people, americans with God in their hearts, helping each other rake their leaves. What happened with helping thy neighbour rake leaves?"
Sanders and Warren comes with the passion. Buddaedgeedge with that JFK-quality. Kamala with a no-BS attitude.Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
You mean my "boring" doesn't equal "not funny". Or what did I do wrong?dignin said:
