    What did he tweet now

    I glance over at Tweetdeck and see journos asking Twitter to ban Trump for accusing someone of murder

    What

    Haiku. You're doing it wrong.

    He may be tweeting the truth?

    28 old intern no symptoms of anything medically wrong, has heart issue not a heart attack according to a sketchy ME.
    Falls hits head on desk after everyone else has left the office not found until the next day.

    Here is Joe Scarborough joking about it!

    INGO 2019 - JAMES MATTIS FOR PRESIDENT, MAD DOG YOLO 420, BRO IS HARDCORE BADASS

    INGO 2020 - omg mattis is a nevertrumper rhino liberal
    C’mon man. You left out TDS.

    And I’m not saying that Mattis doesn’t have at least a little TDS. That’s what I found least rational about his rant, to lay the blame for the violence at Trump’s feet. Antifa owns that.

    In other news, Hoosier Trump supporters can find much solace in the primaries.

    All the Dem votes aggregated hit ~403k. Trump himself got ~455k. Bill Weld drew ~39k. Which, going against a popular incumbent may be a good number, but even if every Weld voter votes for Biden (they won't) and every Dem voter votes for Biden (they won't), that still only gets to ~442k. Biden's best day in Indiana doesn't get him there.

    Now, it isn't all roses and lollipops. Trump got almost 600k and Cruz got almost 400k. So, we had alot more people voting that cycle. On the Dem side, Sanders won with ~335k while HRC got ~303k. (Sanders only got ~57k this cycle.)

    It does suggest that there's probably a million or so general election votes up for grabs.

    Trump's rhetoric purchased title to some portion of the violence, too.

    Trump's rhetoric is largely hyperbolized by the media, and often mischaracterized. In this age of taking in information, and then immediately consulting your own side for what to think about it, that's important. Trump has largely gained a reputation as a racist and a fascist, without actually earning it himself. And I'm not saying that some of the violence has nothing to do with his twitter feed. A lot of people and organizations share at least a little responsibility. But Mattis laid it at the feet of Trump and I think that's a mistaken opinion.

    This is a very different circumstance though. Trump was competing. In this primary it's just a formality. And that's the case for both sides. The primary is, for all practical purposes, done nationwide. Trump's nomination was never in doubt.

    Of course. And neither is Biden's. I see it more as a sampling-type poll. The fair presumption is that the general-only voters will vote in roughly the same ratios as the primary voters. That's a big assumption, of course, but I think it is fair. It may be close, but I don't see any significant risk that Indiana will go blue in November.

    As they say, that's why they play the game.

    Do not think there is much to extrapolate from any of those numbers.

    A significant portion of society was doing very well before all of this rapid fire crisis. It is becoming apparent to them that these crisis are being at least used, if not driven, as election year wedges. They are already exhausted and it is 5 months from the vote...
