Trying to gut Medicare and openly denying climate change just as election season heats up. He might as well be donating to Democrat candidates at this point.

Reminder that candidate Trump stood out from his Republican rivals by vowing to protect Medicare...a declaration that was immediately followed by a 5 point jump in popularity among Republicans and a 9 point jump among independents.

PACs even ran ads on Facebook aimed at older voters implying that Donald would save your Medicare, right as Sanders was forcing Hillary to sound comparatively unsupportive of it.

Proposing massive cuts, even if just in a budget proposal document, is a really bad way to kick off a re-election campaign.

Interesting to watch the Donald do interviews beside helicopters and planes lately. Rather than tweeting. smart move by Him or he’s finally listening to someone? (His campaign 2020 crew presumably?)
Makes it out he is too busy to just have a normal presser, that he is working hard for the American people. Of course his fans will lap this up. Shrewd move anyways

This tied with the idea that Pelosi is willing to forgo impeachment proceedings is good news for the blue team.

Mayor Pete Buttigieg, folks. I know it's highly unlikely that a 37 year old mayor from a small city can win, but if he gets on that debate stage I think he can make it interesting. His CNN town hall and other interviews over the last month have been impressive. At the very least I would say Dems have found a future star.

Definitely like Mayor Pete. My wife is from South Bend so he’s definitely her early favorite, but I think you’re right that he’s on the rise.

Hopefully he can generate a few fully formed thoughts soon and stay in the game

Find someone who worships you the way the media worships Beto

That looks more like Beto and his wife worshiping Beto than "the media" worshiping anybody.

He seems totally virginal and without sin.
There’s no dirt they can throw that will stick.

Trump is clearly rattled by him.

Maybe he’s the guy

This doesn't feel like the election to be boring, but I could be wrong. His shtick feels dated to me though. Nobody wants a white Obama.

Do democrats still have superdelegates? I guess that helps someone like Beto. Can't have the voters going off script and nominating an unapproved candidate.
