To those freely complaining about folks here posting "hit jobs"...

[brooklynite]

A “hit job” implies intent to harm. Why would anyone here feel the need to do so? Nothing that gets discussed here has any impact on the actual campaign, so unless your claim is that your personal feelings are being hurt by intent, I don’t see the problem.

6. This is just getting started

We are setting up a scenario where Bernie, Biden, Harris and Warren can all head into the primaries at around 15-25% with none of the four willing to bow out and all riding it all the way in to the convention setting up an epic battle. The media will try to cause maximum turmoil and drama because that is what sells.

Won’t happen. They won’t be that close. Someone will be the obvious leader.
