Quote

Democratic front-runner Joe Biden and his camp should be very worried about his presidential chances, political operatives say, citing his almost-daily gaffes while on the campaign trail — including during a New Hampshire stop over the weekend when the former vice president said he was in Vermont.

“It’s a cause for concern if you’re running for president, especially if you’re not sure what state you’re in,” said Phil Johnston, the Massachusetts Democratic Party’s former chairman. “We all love and respect him, but in 2020 we have to make sure the nominee is up the task of taking on President Trump.”

The 76-year-old presidential candidate looking to attract voters in the first-in-the-nation primary state Saturday said he was in the bordering state.

Biden in Keene, N.H., said, “I love this place. Look, what’s not to like about Vermont in terms of the beauty of it? And what a neat town … everybody has been really friendly. I like Keene a lot.”

This comment came a day after he spoke in Hanover, N.H., about the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy in 1968.

“Imagine what would have happened if, God forbid, Barack Obama had been assassinated after becoming the de facto nominee? What would have happened in America?”

Biden must immediately stop making these gaffes, Johnston said.

“He needs to show he’s up to the task of being president, day-in and day-out for the next 14 months,” said Johnston, who said he’s leaning toward supporting U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren in the primary. “If he continues to make these mistakes, many people will be concerned.”

I’d support a candidate who solely focused on trains 

 

How many stops does the Shanghai to Beijing train do in between? One of the reasons why the California "high speed" train project is going to be so slow (if it ever gets completed) is because it stops so often.  If there was a direct Las Vegas to Los Angeles train with no stops in between, that would be awesome.  But you know there would ulimately be stops in Baker, Barstow, Victorville, San Bernardino, Riverside, Anaheim, and finally Los Angeles proper.  A theoretical 2 hour trip would take as long as just driving the same distance.

Theres a map in the video that shows 3 stops on the current leg, and the additional ones would add 3 more towards SF and 6 before Anaheim, so from SF to Anaheim 12 stops in between.

"High speed"

I mean theres no reason a every train has to stop at every stop, if they depart regularly enough from either end you can skip stops depending on passenger load going to and from those areas.  Just need tracks just off the main line for stations.

538 is looking at which candidates qualified for the third debate so far. Man, reading Steyer's success and his likelihood of making the debate make my skin crawl.

Despite only announcing his bid in early July, Steyer has quickly put himself in a position to make the third debate by using his massive personal wealth and the contact lists of his grassroots organizations Need To Impeach and NextGen. Steyer announced earlier this month that he had accrued 130,000 individual donors, and he has already spent millions on digital and television ads, primarily in early-voting states like Iowa and South Carolina. So it’s perhaps unsurprising that all three of Steyer’s qualifying polls are from those two early states while he has yet to register more than 1 percent in a national qualifying poll.

 

For the others that are close but will likely fall short of the debate, pay particular attention to Gillibrand:

As for the candidates that could fall short of making the debate, some, like Gabbard, are displeased with the qualification rules. Gabbard’s campaign has claimed that she’s received at least 2 percent support in more than 20 polls released since the second debate, but only two of those surveys are from pollsters sanctioned by the DNC. Among her campaign’s complaints are that the DNC’s rules about which polls will be counted aren’t very consistent: Some highly-rated polling organizations were left off the DNC’s list, and some surveys were excluded despite being sponsored by notable media organizations. For example, state-level polls conducted by online pollster YouGov on behalf of CBS News have been counted — which is approved by the DNC — while national YouGov polls sponsored by The Economist have not.

 

Williamson announced last week that she had surpassed the donor threshold for the third debate, and today’s Monmouth poll gave her one qualifying poll. She still needs three more surveys to qualify, which is unlikely to happen before Wednesday’s deadline, so it’s unclear what her next steps might be. Gillibrand, too, is hoping for three more qualifying polls. The New York senator might get to 130,000 donors by Wednesday — she announced last week that she had 115,000 — but she might not even make it that far. Some of her former staffers have said that she should abandon her presidential bid, and in an interview with the Washington Post last week, Gillibrand said she was receptive to the idea of serving as vice president. So it’s possible the end is nigh for her campaign.

 

The rest -- Bennet, Ryan, Delaney, De Blasio, Bullock, and the ones who haven't made a single debate -- have no chance of making this one.
