I've not seen verification of this as you know info on the interwebs is  not always true...

But word is that a bunch of k-pop fans were trolling a certain person's campaign and requested that large number of rally tickets that keeps getting touted.

If this is true kudos given..

SCOTUS rules that Trump's rescission of DACA was  "arbitrary and capricious" because it failed to provide the necessary "reasoned judgment" for its decision and failed to address reliance interests

image that quite the temper tantrum is being thrown right now...

pretty sure which side or hatch is showing up later today :)

Sometimes it appears John Roberts is the only thing keeping us from going over the cliff

Probably the best thing GWB did as president was appoint him...

I think Dan's response was classic

First LGBTQ rights and now DACA? I don’t think John Roberts is going to be invited to the White House Christmas party.

Lets not forget Citizen's United and Shelby County.  Roberts is the reason we have Trump.

No

The election was decided by less than 200,000 votes


There are MANY reasons we can choose

I go with deluded Sanders supporters who refused to vote for Hillary but YMMV

Or Comey

In such a close election there isn’t one reason

and Jeb had like 100mil in the bank and couldn't beat trump in the primries with that war chest...but to be fair he didn't have putin in his corner

I don't use this as justification for keeping CU, but shows how money isn't the only thing needed to win



to be clear, I think CU is a horrible

I was talking more about the system that led to Trump rather than the specifics of the 2016 election. 

Citizen's United has had a massive influence on everything, and fundamentally altered the balance of the system.

And I'd content it's a big reason for the move right of the Republican Party (and reinforced their focus on the Courts).

i'm not sure this was such a great thing.  it gives trump a talking/shouting point that he can spin ("ONE MILLION WANT TO COME TO MY RALLY!").  the arena will be full regardless.  i'd be down with this plan if it resulted in trump walking out to a mostly empty arena - "hey, where is everybody?" - but there are enough trumpers hanging around outside the venue that they can flood it with stand-ins pretty quickly.

Just learned that McGrath doesn't even have a lock on the dem nomination for that seat
as Booker just got an endorsement from Sanders, AOC and others

Correct - McGrath is far from a lock.

Dang McGrath seems to be falling apart  (even with a 30-40 million campaign chest)

Kentucky Senate Democratic Primary:
Charles Booker 44%
Amy McGrath 36%
Mike Broihier 4%
Mary Ann Tobin 1%

@Civiqs /@DataProgress  6/13-15


Don't feel like there was much polling on Booker v Mitch yet

He is from the biggest city Louisville...but KY has only an 8% black population

Other interesting demo stats
3% Hispanic
21% graduated college

They do have early voting (yeah) and primary ends on june 22nd

Got my eyes on this...maybe for sadistic reasons as Mitch is likely to win
but other than Trump losing, I so want Mitch to suffer defeat
