She was a Trump loyalist until it became inconvenient for her.

Like the rest of 'em, history will remember her as the POS which she is.
It’s not a “was”. She still supports Trump. And if she ran, I’d vote for her in a heartbeat. :nod:

For our next lesson, let’s revisit how overrated Condoleeza Rice is.

I asked because they probably align on about 95% of things. And in a few cases she's further left than Bernie.

If she looked like Amy Klobuchar she'd already be out of the race.

Let your new stepson fight his own battles. Condi Rice has forgotten more about foreign affairs than Madeleine Albright or Hillary Clinton will ever learn.

I do the same for JSO. There's a bit of a conk driven pack mentality here.

I'm just leveling the playing field.

I'd love to see them defend their ideas and post on message boards with a good number of liberals on it, or even a majority of liberals. But they won't. This place is a small, cozy echo-chamber of their views.

I visit AGS and CSN too, big overlap of users between all three...as if they need 2-3 message boards of literally the same people posting the same things.

Your mistake is in believing the middle has some sort of value. :lol:

And it’s “thoughtful moderate”. Post partisan is so 2015. :ohno:

I'm not married to the middle as a concept, rather I like to pick and choose from the left and the right for the various things they get correct, while eschewing the things they get wrong. In a world of blind, zealot partisans like trip and JBB, that just makes me look like I'm not straying from the middle. If you lived up to the "thoughtful" portion of your newest moniker you'd already know that. Alas, just gimmicky branding, just like in 2015. :coffee:

Rice is an idiot if for nothing else than Iraq. But in general, she’s the busy body straight A student rewarded for her pseudo intellect and willingness to play along.

Technically, Colin “Who, me? WMD!” Powell was SOS when the Iraq War started. Albright probably did more damage at the U.N. (Somalia, Rwanda) than she did at State ( Bosnia, African embassy bombings). She had better academic creds than Rice but was a meaner political infighter.

'It is stomach-churning': Progressives' dread rises as Warren and Sanders collide

The Progressive peace treaty is breaking down...
The public breakdown began with the revelation on Sunday, as first reported by Politico, that some Sanders' volunteers had been instructed to tell voters leaning toward Warren that her appeal was limited to "highly educated, more affluent people." Warren responded later in the day by accusing Sanders of "sending his volunteers out to trash me" and warning that the argument spelled out in the script risked stoking a brand of "factionalism" that roiled Democrats in 2016.

Sanders distanced himself from those talking points, but Warren's campaign pressed on, sending out a fundraising email signed by campaign manager Roger Lau, with the same message. Then, on Monday afternoon, four sources told CNN that during a private 2018 meeting, Sanders said to Warren that he did not believe a woman could win the presidency.
