Nate Silver Reads DU Primaries

[crazytown]

(Take a bow inabluestate)

nrakich: I do think Biden has the best chance of striking deals witha GOP Senate. It’s just that people are overestimating how big of a difference he would make. Biden might be able to convince three GOP senators to vote with him. A President Tulsi Gabbard might be able to convince zero.

2. I'm sure he could get all Republicans to vote to renew the Hyde Amendment.

3. I'm trying to be light hearted here,

there’s nothing to celebrate when a candidate stumbles badly.

6. I don't think he stumbled. It's not a stumble when you tell the truth.

This is what he believes. It's not an error, it's merely out of step with the vast majority of voters he is courting.

7. Whatever he believes, it's a political calculation.

A 2016 poll from Politico and Harvard University asked voters whether they think Medicaid, the federal program that pays for health care for people with low incomes, should cover abortions. Just 36 percent of likely voters said yes; 57 percent of self-identified Clinton voters said yes.

10. We have a "president" right now that has no beliefs and everything is a political calculation.

I'd prefer someone with beliefs he/she can stand behind.

than republicans to support her issues

9. Well, it's entirely possible that either party will have

a bare majority after 2020, hopefully us, but either way this could be a very valuable asset.
