Are you KIDDING?

Grow up.

He won't get any credit because the credit wasn't his to begin with. Iain Duncan Smith resigning has literally nothing to do with anything Corbyn said on Budget Day. This is of the Tories' own making, much as the cheerleaders would wish it to be otherwise.

I hadn't been aware of this! *.* Thanks for the tip

SPOILER: we don't. But when it doesn't happen people don't care anyway.

I'm so past caring. This country - and the left - get what they deserve.

*o*

this is EVERYTHING in hi-def

I haven't done a proper listen through of everything yet but Russia, Austria, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Iceland, Latvia and Italy are all SHIT THE COMMODE INCREDIBLE and this is easily the best year since 2012 already.

Do Stockholm Syndrome even still have a record contract?! I'm limiting myself to predicting a Molly/Danny collab to rival Carola/Andreas for TERMINAL VELOCITY *.*

'Janice, would you send through the vat of peroxide please'

Anja wouldn't win because it brought literally nothing new to the table over Only Teardrops. Nothing so outright patterned on a previous winner has come close to winning in the modern era.

YAY *.* I'm so glad this is being done by someone with taste and with infinitely more commitment and willpower than me

People talk about negative campaigning as if it's this awful thing with no redeeming attributes whatsoever. For all that everyone pisses on about 'Project Fear' in the Scottish referendum - well, were not all the claims screeched about as 'scaremongering' proven wildly accurate in the end? If something is going to make someone worse off and sticking with the status quo will leave them better off, that's a perfectly legitimate campaign to have. It's down to the other side to demonstrate why the fears are unfounded.

Bernie's the more electable candidate *now* when he's entirely theoretical and known mostly for 'stop the fatcats in Wall Street'. But when it comes down to it, Americans (like most people) don't like their taxes going up. And the amount his straight-forward, shoot from the hip one size fits all policy proposals will cost means he can't pay for that by just having the top 1 percent cough up, or even just the top 10 percent. And I think when it comes down to it, more independents will go for the woman they don't necessarily trust over a lying bombastic racist who gets called out as such in the strongest possible terms by his own side.

I'll also add that this is barring a massive scandal along the lines of Hillary Clinton being indicted or whatever.

Sure. Dunning-Kruger it is.

Worth noting that screeching 'MOMENTUM!!' despite failing to meet most targets was exactly what Hillary was doing this time eight years ago. Except she was doing better than Bernie is now.

Again - momentum doesn't mean anything if it isn't translating into delegate leads over and above what he needed already in the previous states.

LOVE this. How fab to have the greatest nation in the game during the 90s BACK *.*

Yes, which is why it doesn't help if you're only getting a net gain of 20 delegates in a big state - hence why I say he needs big wins.

No, because he'd need to be winning *big* in those states. Not just doing what he's doing now of getting respectable delegate leads in states he wins (when he needs *big* delegate leads in those states) and tying on delegates in his shock good performance states (which are states he needs to be winning and getting respectable delegate leads in). He's been trounced in so many states so far that he needs to be outperforming what were already really difficult delegate targets. One or two big states will not make the difference. He needs to be winning essentially every state from hereon out with a pretty solid lead in each.

He's starting to run out of states for his 'momentum!!!' to build up into wins big enough to outweigh everywhere he's fallen short on delegates so far.
