Do any of BS' rivals seem "terrified" to you?

[lapucelle]

1. I think it's more likely to terrify potential voters than rivals.

Mahalo!!!!

[Cha]

4. It's just a really

unnecessary way to talk about BS' heart attack and his rivals.. "Terrify". really?

The fucking monster in the WH is what is "Terrifying".

Mahalo to you, lapucelle!

[BlueMississippi]

2. The Krystal is cracked and giving wrong future info. nt

[Cha]

40. Something is definitely

hazy!

Mahalo, BlueMississippi!

[George II]

3. What?? His "health scare" should terrify his rivals? Just what does that mean?

That woman is bizarre to say the least.

[customerserviceguy]

7. Uhh

she's delusional.

[highplainsdem]

5. Wow, Cha, what a strange tweet from Krystal Ball! LOL!

[customerserviceguy]

6. Sanders supporters

need to pass the bong to the rest of us.

[sheshe2]

9. Bwahahahahaha!

[Cha]

10. lol ikr

Mahalo, she! Not Terrified!

[George II]

13. ....

[lapucelle]

23. ...

[NurseJackie]

8. ...

[sheshe2]

11. Warren ain't scared.

LOL...

Sorry I really can't take a person with the name Krystal Ball seriously.

[Me.]

14. That Is So Cool

Even if it sort of reminds me of that Saudi Orb. Wonder what the magic 8 ball would say

[sheshe2]

15. I checked.

[Me.]

21. Brilliant

[customerserviceguy]

16. Killer graphic! n/t

[sheshe2]

17. Thank you.

Thank you.

[customerserviceguy]

18. Ah, ballet

One of the most beautiful of the performing arts. Thinking about seeing "The Nutcracker Suite" still gives me chills!

[sheshe2]

20. My sister treats me to the ballet once a year.

She also took me to see Billie Elliot. If you have not, do. The movie is pretty fine as well.

The final scene. OMG, that final scene.

[Me.]

12. HOw Many People Are Going To Lose THemselves

during this election. She's becoming sad and she should be terrified.

Aloha Hoa

[Blue_true]

19. I used to view her as an up and coming democratic strategist.

I have no idea what happened, but she is just a little out there now. Not exactly Susan Sarandon, Cornel West strange, but she is closing in.

On Edit:

I watched the video. Holy Shit!!!!! Did she eat a magic mushroom omelette for breakfast?

[pangaia]

22. crystal ball? Is that REALLY her name.. I dunno. I'd believe anything at thuis point

[lapucelle]

25. With a "k". N/T

[pangaia]

27. OH. Well, THAT explains it..

[lapucelle]

33. ...

[TwilightZone]

24. The "terrifying" thing is that she apparently thinks stuff like this helps Sanders.

Their strategy is...curious.

[Cha]

49. Exactly.. It's like they

don't want to expand their base.

[left-of-center2012]

26. Referring to Bernie as "BS" is juvenile

In my humble opinion

But folks will snicker
and say
"But those are his initials!"

As if Joe Biden were referred to as "JB",
Kamala Harris as "KH",
or
Beto O'Rourke as "BO".

Juvenile ... In my humble opinion.

[pangaia]

28. It's done here, dontcha know...

OK,OK, there IS


AOC...

[tirebiter]

29. Aren't those his initials?

Why, yes, they are.

[Cha]

32. Too Bad.. those are BS' initials and I

will use them when I want to.

Your calling me "juvenile" is noted.

Anything to call me when I use AOC?

[Thekaspervote]

41. JB, EW, BS, KH... their just initials...no need for anyone to take offense

hi Cha

[Cha]

43. Thank you, kasper!

Way too sensitive to the Senator's initials..

[LanternWaste]

47. Or 'PBO'

I'm certain you righteously criticized that usage as well.

Else, the distinction lacking a relevant difference you'll soon draw will be epic in its imagination.




"In my humble opinion..."

[TidalWave46]

30. This is some of the most backwards shit I've read in some time. NT

[betsuni]

31. She says Bernie's economic plan gives workers 45% of corporate board seats. Warren's plan

is for workers to elect 40% of board seats -- her Accountable Capitalism Act introduced last year. Seven minute abs again.

[lapucelle]

34. Is Krystal Ball's PAC a fresh approach or a get-rich scheme?

Is Krystal Ball's PAC a fresh approach or a get-rich scheme?
By Alex Roarty
May 09, 2018

A new Democratic group — one with support from Democratic congressmen and three of the biggest names in the tech industry — is testing the boundary between a new approach to politics and a self-enriching scam.

When the People’s House Project launched last May, founder Krystal Ball billed it as an organization that would defy old conventions and show Democrats a new model for winning campaigns. The former MSNBC host said her political action committee would support longshot candidates who embraced economic populism and lacked a political background — the kind of office-seekers who normally don’t receive support from party leaders.

But thus far, nobody has benefited more financially from the group than Ball herself. Of the $445,000 Ball raised for the group, she paid herself more than a third of that — $174,000 — in salary, according to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission. The majority of her salary — $104,000 — came in the first three months of this year alone.

snip ===================================================================

By rule, PACs are not allowed to accept contributions larger than $5,000. But Ball tweaked the group to become a so-called “Carey” committee (also known as a “Hybrid PAC”), which meant it would also raise contributions in uncapped amounts as long as it didn’t spend that money directly coordinating with campaigns.

That change paved the way for the group’s largest contribution to date, a $250,000 donation in February from Reid Hoffman, the billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn. His donation was quickly followed by another $10,000 contribution that month from tech entrepreneur Sam Altman.

At the end of March, the trio of donations accounted for almost 70 percent of PHP’s $445,000 in total contributions.

35. "But thus far, nobody has benefited more financially from the group than Ball herself."

Wow.. Not a good look for Krystal Ball.

Mahalo for the research, lapucelle!

[lapucelle]

36. Krystal Ball pays herself with the money billionaires donate to her PAC

[Cha]

37. Nice job.. while railing

on anybody else who isn't "proper" according to her!

smh.

[Tarheel_Dem]

50. Well, lookie there. KBall is gettin' pizaid. And from those filthy billionaires no less. Hmmm....

[MustLoveBeagles]

38. How bizarre

She used to be normal. What the hell happened?

[Thekaspervote]

42. I heard she's pushing to become the new Sarandon...keep it up honey

[Cha]

48. I never knew anything about her except

her name.

Mahalo, Beagles

[stopbush]

39. She's trying to start an alternate narrative, from scratch.

The D equivalent of tRump’s “everybody says” (translation: nobody but me says).

[PhoenixDem]

44. But ... the heart attack didn't scare BS campaign at all

(trying to keep a straight face and failing)

[Baclava]

45. A damn near 80 y/o politician has a heart attack on the campaign trail, and keeps campaigning

That's what the voters see, and yes, it terrifies some

[BlueMTexpat]

46. Thanks for the chuckle!

There is only one candidate whose campaign seems even to be close to "terrified" right now and that is the one who is "being personally vulnerable."

Tweets like this only reinforce that impression.

JMO

[fleabiscuit]

51. Needs a name change to "Krystal Snowglobe" the way she shakes things to see where it all lands.

[comradebillyboy]

52. Bernie had a heart attack. Why would that scare his rivals? His badly thought

out proposals aren't going to scare anybody either.
