    This country just has to come to grips that it’s not ready to vote a woman in as president ! Warren’s problem is electability...
    You know who Warren is going to appeal to? Striking GM workers. GM earned $35BB worldwide and $10BB in the US last year, in addition to spending $25BB in stock buy backs. Their CEO earned $20MM last year. And they want their employees to pay more for health care and not allow “temp” workers, who get 3 paid days off a year, to not have a path to full time work. You think “Pocohantas” is going to hurt her in Wisconsin? Somebody claimed she was cooked months ago. She’s surging and running a hell of a campaign.
    B or Bn for Billion....MM is Thousand Thousand
    I suppose MMM might technically work for a billion, since it is a thousand million.
    ;P

    I hate when people use K for thousand and M for million.  H2M got that right. 

    Here's an old joke from the Iraq war.....

    Condi Rice walked into Bush's office and said.."bad news Mr. President, we just learned that three brazillion soldiers were killed in Iraq this week".. well Bush was all broken up and Rice was really confused by how hard he was taking it so she said "Mr. President, what's wrong?".  Bush looks up and says "how many soldiers are in a brazillion?"

    bada tss....

    K does not make sense, I agree.  MM is one I use all of the time, but I know what it means...which is why MMM might work.

    It is not the capital letter “K” that stands for “kilo” (thousand), but the small letter “k.” The capital “K” stands for “Kelvin” as in “degrees Kelvin.” We use “k” to represent thousands because it comes  from the Greek word for one thousand

    Right but that's 'slang' as it were.  The M is Roman and the proper letter, at least in business.

    What happened to Kamala Harris? https://apple.news/A6bIwEuQ6RwO35vQVcq8a_Q
    The media gets it wrong.  This quote is what happened.  

    ...telling her personal story powerfully even while effectively exposing Joe Biden's weakness over his record on busing. She was in command, comfortable on the stage, presidential....

    She followed up her attack by basically mimicking Bidens position and Democrats realized that busing was not a winning issue.  Cillizza, in this article,  claims it was weak 2nd and 3rd debate.  But her free fall started a week after the first debate when voters realized it eased disingenuous.  

    My opinion. 
    I think that's true. I also think Tulsi Gabbard nuked her on her criminal justice record. As a prosecutor nothing in Harris' record remotely resembled the progressive she's tried to paint herself as. Death penalty, wrongful convictions, a hard on for convicting marijuana offenses, apparently ignored cases of clergy abuse. It wasn't a good look for her.


    Harris blew it because once people figured out her attack was about busing, they'd turn on her because it's an outdated issue. Noone buses anymore. She should have figured that out

    She blew it again by going all progressive with M4a. At best she is 3rd in that lane and Warren/Sanders are well established there.

    Seeing alot of love for Warren here and in the polls .

    I really wish voters will be careful if they pick her, she has not been under attack the last few months (that's finally starting to change). That's a big reason she is gaining 

    And she wilted fairly easily when Trump went after her stupid dna test. He will pound away at that issue if she's the nom.

    I just dont see election day voters picking socialist healthcare. I wish my party gets that before its too late.

    The #2 spot for public option lane is wide open after Biden. That's the spot Harris should have went for. Now Pete has it and I'm not sure THIS country votes for Pete unfortunately.

    Later Friday, Biden released a statement about the whistleblower complaint, saying: "If these reports are true, then there is truly no bottom to President Trump's willingness to abuse his power and abase our country. ... At minimum, Donald Trump should immediately release the transcript of the call in question, so that the American people can judge for themselves, and direct the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to stop stonewalling and release the whistleblower notification to the Congress."

    Trump’s doing this because he knows I’ll beat him like a drum, and he’s using the abuse of power and every element of the presidency to try to do something to smear me,” he told reporters in Iowa.

    On Saturday, Biden said that he had never spoken to Hunter about his business dealings in Ukraine, and backed calls for the House to investigate -- as well as suggesting it could begin a path to impeachment.

    “Depending on what the House finds, he could be impeached but I’m not making that judgment now,” he said. “The House should investigate it, this appears to be an overwhelming abuse of power.”

    He went on to call Trump a “serial abuser.”

    “He abuses power everywhere he can and if he sees any threat to staying in power, he’ll do whatever he has to do -- but this crosses the line,” he said.

    Biden’s remarks came just hours after Trump dismissed the controversy as a “Ukraine Witch Hunt” being stoked by the Democratic Party and the “fake news media,” and said that the real scandal was to do with Biden’s interactions in the country.
