Man it must be something else to be a trump supporter; to live completely in the moment and be freed from the burden of ever worrying about whether he is going to emphatically contradict himself a few days later.

You really want to disenfranchise the 39% of blacks who say states rights was the primary cause of the civil war? Or is this just a "willingness to lie to get to vote" test and people are expected to give the "right answer" regardless of nuance?

"Rueters Poll Correction Piece posted:

Don’t forget Bernie Sanders!

We learned that the hard way this week after publishing our biggest polling project of the year (so far) on racial attitudes among Americans. The poll, which ran over three months and included interviews with more than 16,000 people, found that Donald Trump supporters were more likely to describe blacks negatively, relative to whites, when compared with people who backed fellow Republicans Ted Cruz and John Kasich or Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

We polled Sanders supporters too, but didn’t include them in our final report for various reasons.

On the Democratic side, Clinton already has enough delegates to clinch the nomination at the party’s convention later this month, making poll data from Sanders supporters seem less relevant for the upcoming campaign.

It’s true that Trump also has enough delegates to secure the Republican nomination, but we included the Cruz and Kasich supporters because they showed that those racial attitudes among Trump supporters were significantly more negative than those among other Republicans. (Almost 50 percent of Trump supporters, for example, viewed blacks as more “violent” than whites. About 31 percent of Kasich and Clinton supporters said the same. )

The difference was slight between Clinton and Sanders, but it also was sometimes between Cruz and Trump. We mostly excluded the Sanders data for space reasons. We really should have kept it in.

Below, you’ll find an updated graphic that shows how Sanders supporters compare with the other candidates. You’ll see that there was a difference between Clinton and Sanders’ supporters, with the pro-Sanders camp expressing fewer negative views on race than those backing Clinton.

I don't get the Lewandowsky hiring, is CNN going to get half a million worth of new viewers because he's on the air, or is there something I'm missing?

I get the whole wingnut welfare thing, but his hiring seems odd.

Defenders will just say that it was a baseless accusation that was created simply because the US wanted to extradict him on that excuse. I'm not familiar at all with the case however. Of course he is STILL evading a sexual assault charge, so obviously that's pretty bad to defend.

vorebane posted:

It wasn't close, but Bernie definitely racked up a lot of votes and supporters. Getting him on board, especially by adopting positions he's been advocating, would go a long way towards increasing turnout, and it looks like 2016 is going to be a turnout election. Furthermore, it's utterly worth going for all the votes possible, because it's probably going to be necessary to near entirely throw Republicans out of office in order to get anything at all done.
