They fucked then because Murkowski is a guaranteed no as well.

Someone just coined Rex Tillerson potentially leaving as "Rexit"
I approve.

Of course he would.
Knowing Trump, he'll fire Sessions and nominate Giuliani as a recess appointment as revenge for not repealing the ACA.

The thing to watch for is actually McConnell's vote. If the MTP fails, McConnell could switch to a No vote in order to bring it up again at a future date. If he keeps it Yes, that's a sign that he's not interested in pursuing healthcare anymore.

I just got giddy at the thought that Ted Cruz could've sailed to reelection if he'd maintained his Never Trump status.

Him and Chaffetz are the most disgusting of everyone to me in this. Chaffetz said that "he could never look his wife and daughers in the face" if he supported Trump, then he gave Donny a full reach around every step of the way. Trump called Cruz's wife ugly and said his dad helped kill JFK and now plays interference for him during Senate hearings along with bringing them all to have dinner with him. Makes me fucking sick how low you can go for so little.

The Clinton stuff is just so much more relevant in the modern era!
I mean the Cruz stuff is so stupid, he went to the convention and said an anti-trump speach and now he kisses his ass. The anti-trump will hate him cause he sold himself even after all Trump insulted him and the pro-trump will just remember that he didn't kiss the ring. It is a lose-lose situation that is only even worse cause he is Cruz and everyone hates him.
Why is it important that he switch his vote? Majority Leader's personal vote has different weight on procedure?

And he'll be facing Charismatic Generically Handsome White Man Who Speaks Spanish Beto O'Rourke.
Cruz is a charisma vacuum except to a small subset of people who give money to televangelists.

I'm starting to warm up to A Better Deal. It's short, makes fun of Trump, describes the inadequacy of the Republican Party, gives a nod to FDR, fits on a bumper sticker and hashtag.

There's some rule about how the bills author votes that affects whether it's eligible to come up again later after failing.

Yeah, when the Manchin-Toomey gun control bill (I think) failed to break a filibuster, Harry Reid changes his vote to "no" so it could be revived later.
Aaron Strife
Banned
Yeah I can't find an actual source on this but the Majority Leader has to vote No on something in order to bring it up again.
Reid would do this all the time if something couldn't beat a filibuster and people accused him of being a DINO for opposing gun control and the DREAM Act.

Don't judge me but
I liked Harry Reid a lot more than I like Schumer.
Aaron Strife

I agree, although Schumer's never led a majority so it's hard to say. Reid was super competent and effective.

If "meanER" shows the extent of his messaging abilities, I can't say I have much enthusiasm about his being Majority Leader.

For sure, I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt here. Maybe he'll do really well as Majority Leader.
Still think it should have gone to Durbin.
It's early but Northam can't take this for granted. Iirc he blew off campaigning in 2013 because he was up against a nutjob and I feared this might happen again.

If Northam fucks this up, I will be so pissed.
He has all the national mood going for him. If he can't pull this off, then he's fucking terrible.

Or the election is still three months out and they haven't tuned in yet.
Labor Day is the rule of thumb for when polls really start to have predictive value, but this is still concerning. I hope Northam ends up pulling out a 5-point win or something.
Same percentage approves Trump and disapproves the governor :thinking:

The sample size isn't awesome (502), but it's still above 400 and this is really concerning for Northam. Step it up.
Perriello would've won.

This is kind of a mess poll because many of these states haven't been polled in months. Michigan's last poll was at the end of May.

Watching Kusher for a couple minutes has made it clear why he doesn't do on-camera stuff.

It's taking all of their daily surveys and turning it into a poll.
It's a bit of a mess because a lot of those states don't meet the required number of people for a sample (n=400), and it's an average overtime from when Trump's approval was a lot higher.
Is this what it would be if it were held today? Doubtful. I'm also always wary of this poll-of-states using national poll numbers, but that's me.
Either way, it's an interesting snapshot and shows the issues that Trump finds himself in.

Senate Democrats are rolling their 2018 manifesto and cable is covering commentary of Kushner's statement.

Here's an amusing video (from more than a year ago, so unrelated) on how much of a pain in the ass it would actually be to "acid wash" a HDD, particularly the platter to assure a data wipe. There are probably a hundred easier and cheaper ways.

"Clinton's problem is she can't articulate what she's for. She's giving a speech in Phoenix right now about what she's for, but Trump is hocking steaks and we need to show that instead"

You know the movie BIG? Kushner feels like if that kid's wish turned him into a corrupt politician instead of into Tom Hanks.
And he even had a personal excuse to never support Trump that I'm sure even Trump fans would've accepted. It makes no sense.

It's so stupid. They used a piece of software called Bleach Bit to clear hard drives, a very standard infosec procedure. This has somehow turned into Hillary cackling while she pours acid down her email server.

I wonder if they change their strategy if the investigation wraps up in 2018.
