rofl, was that the worst dollar-to-delegate ratio in history? it has to be, right?

Giuliani spent $61M in the 2008 election for zero delegates. We don't mention enough how much money he burned on an always-doomed campaign.

Linda McMahon spent that much on a Senate campaign lmao

Combine both her 2010 and 2012 senate races and she spent $100M of personal money. Not donations or PACs, she got to waste $100M of Vince's WWE money.

We probably could put up billboards — “Look what we’re going to do to Trump next week!” — and get crazy ratings. But I just don’t care.

this was the moment i was totally convinced that trump's campaign was just another run-of-the-mill grift operation just like ben carson's. which it was- but hoo boy americans are loving dumb. like i genuinely thought this was going to be the end of his campaign because it was so in the open how could anyone possibly take him seriously after this one?

It also gave us one of the underrated moments of the entire 2016 election: the entire stage curtain falling down behind the MSNBC recap.

It's perfect. It's horrible.

I'm convinced the most important thing for executive headhunters is whether you have been a CEO or not. Not past successes, fit, or competency, just whether you had those three letters in your experience at any point. You will never descend, just stay at the c-suite level no matter what happens.

That's engagement, and this is the human version. Every time a public figure posts a thing, legions of centrist bloggers need to acknowledge it. It's how they stay relevant and employable.

Exactly this. There's been more depressing boot-licking by Trump voters dying of COVID but I haven't found a more pathetic and alien example than the Rubin tweet. I flinch when i see it, i'll never stop flinching.

one of the real political turning points I had growing up was taking a fairly easy geography test in high school. I got a perfect score so my teacher made me grade her other period’s tests and I learned real quick that everyone I knew had zero knowledge of other countries. a flood of suburban teenagers screaming for Bush to nuke Iraq which they’re pretty sure is in Asia somewhere, maybe north of India? or in north Africa, but they definitely deserve to be nuked.

If you haven't seen Fury Road, do so, cause it's one of the best action movies ever.

the funniest part of pete's political career is that he didn't have the basic common sense to move somewhere he could actually work his way up the ladder. his dnc and presidential runs have been done almost entirely because his local congressional district, both senate seats, and the governorship are all solid red and will be for the foreseeable future

if he had a lick of common sense, he would have picked a reliably blue congressional district, moved there and started his political career, but instead he's capped out at a small city mayor hoping that a dem admin will give him a cabinet spot that lets him move out of the deep red environment he's in

He's absolutely getting a seat in the Biden cabinet based on when he dropped out of the 2020 race and a permanent opening to jump on cable news whenever he wants. Buttigieg managed to get past the Indiana ceiling by ratting the gently caress up.

Order your own through the Governor's website: https://www.governor.ny.gov/new-york-tough-poster

Which contains this horrifying quote from Cuomo himself that implies there's more of these posters out there and that this is the result of constant practice.

quote:

I love history. I love poster art. Poster art is something they did in the early 1900s, late 1800s, when they had to communicate their whole platform on one piece of paper. Over the past few years I’ve done my own posters that capture that feeling. I did a new one for what we went through with COVID and I think the general shape is familiar to you. We went up the mountain, we curved the mountain, we came down the other side and these are little telltale signs that, to me, represent what was going on.
