President Trump 2.0: The NEW one and only politics thread

I'd argue the old guard is more responsible for their loss of influence and sway than Sanders. I see Sanders out there making an argument. Rallying the base. Schumer? He'll send a strongly worded letter.

Bernie and AOC have made quite the team in the past.

Even that letter isn't being written until after he confers with his BFFs Joe and Eileen Bailey for guidance.

However much I mock Schumer, it isn't enough

The dumbest thing about the "Baileys" thing with Schumer - at least one of them went from a reliable Dem to voting for Trump - and yet he still conditions messaging to them.

Lots of Republicans pay heed to imaginary people who voted for George McGovern.

Nothing says “I should be taxed more“ more than using $82 million to argue that you should not, in fact, be taxed more.

The last time a sitting vice president became a new father was in the 1800s.

Schuyler Colfax and his second wife, Ellen Wade, had a son, Schuyler Colfax III, in 1870 when Colfax was serving as vice president, according to the White House Historical Association. Decades before that, John C. Calhoun and his wife, Floride Bonneau, had a son, William, in 1829 when Calhoun was vice president, the association said.

Schuyler Colfax

An ink-stained wretch at his core.

In 1842, Colfax became the editor of the pro-Whig South Bend Free Press, owned by John D. Defrees. When Defrees moved to Indianapolis the following year and purchased the Indiana Journal, he hired Colfax to cover the Indiana Senate for the Journal. In addition to covering the state senate, Colfax contributed articles on Indiana politics to the New York Tribune, leading to a friendship with its editor, Horace Greeley. In 1845, Colfax purchased the South Bend Free Press and changed its name to the St. Joseph Valley Register. He owned the Register for nine years, at first in support of the Whigs, then shifting to the newly established Republican Party.
