FWIW…

Highest sample count for Buttigieg. I wonder if that’s due to design methodology or because he had the most mentions.

Gabbard has plenty of favorables, too, but the smallest sample size by a good margin. I assume that means the vast majority don’t even think about her any more, as she has zero chance at any role on the ticket.

One can hope.

Trump/ Gabbard 2020…#MAGA!!!

Yeah, combined with all the other polling (e.g. the Nate Silver tweet in triggercut’s post or the link in Tim_N’s) she appears to be a non-factor.

If we eliminate the Senate we won’t need to eliminate filibusters.

So, a single Chamber?

Per a FiveThirtyEight-ish thing from last week, Mayor Pete is getting more tweets and google searches per media appearance by order of magnitude over other candidates, including Bernie and Biden, the front-runners.

Single-chamber, can go across state lines, no state is guaranteed a rep (so the Dakotas might share 1 rep). That would be the fairest way. Also non-partisan districting.

I’m probably going to see to Beto in action next Monday since I’m considering him.

What’s the point of this? Why not just increase the resolution of the reps to make sure that the smallest states have 1, but it’s fully proportionate? Or really, make sure the smallest states get 3 or 5, so you can do proportional representation based on vote totals (no districts at all!).

I am not gay.

But my mancrush on Mayor Pete just hit exclamation point levels.

(For reference:)

Hiw dare you! He is married man, you home wrecker!

Here he is playing with the South Bend symphony orchestra.

In his book, he describe how much he practiced to make sure he didn’t make a fool of himself. A rather refreshing change…

Basically he’s Buckaroo Banzai.

I actually shouted out “holy shit that’s Spoon” haha. My favorite of all their songs too. I’m totally in love L-U-V.

Aw, C’MON! He listens to and plays Spoon?!

Me on election day after voting for Pete:

The one eyed Puggle already locked in my vote. The Apoon thing is just gratuitous at this point.

It’s getting kind of weird.

On some level, it’s like, “this guy could definitely win.”

But on the other hand, it’s like, “he’s clearly gonna turn out to be serial killer.”

Would still be an upgrade over Trump.
