And, so, therefore, in conclusion, to summarize, he had little experience. He was a junior senator.

Why do you believe being a senator is a nothing to job? I'm curious how an elected official in one of the biggest governments in the world is a nothing job.
Remind me again how many days of the year they work and what their job actually involves? It's a sweet gig, honestly.
Kamalaserves on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Select Committee On Intelligence, Environment and Public Works Committee, and the Committee On Budget.

Now as someone who almost voted Bernie, even I was aware that at MOST, he could have caused a split in the votes between himself and Hillary. That's it. Not enough Democrats are going to go after someone who basically amounts to a renegade. Maybe in the future, as the party evolves, but Hillary was an establishment candidate, and most people would rather the establishment than a renegade.

Friendly reminder that polling for a potential 2020 contest between Trump and Sanders has so far given Sanders a majority of support. The same was almost never true of Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Oh man. If only there was some kind of tape where you could hear Trump literally describing how he just grabs women.
Perhaps even grabbing them by their genitals or something.
But alas, where could one find such a thing!?

It's just in, Weinstein and Trump are both sexual assaulters. It's like, as if, its something people on all sides of the political spectrum are capable of.

Instead of spending money to help with the desperate situation in Puerto Rico, the Kochs are investing in political propaganda aimed at preventing displaced Puerto Ricans from voting for Democrats.

Oh dear.
For context: "As influx of Puerto Ricans continues, Koch-backed group starts seeking them out in Florida"
