Ask RJJR Anything, or preferably nothing

I'm bored, which is the same reason I originally joined Atlas, I've worked in high level capacities on several well known political campaigns and plenty more unknown campaigns, worked as an economist, worked as an academic researcher, have one published academic paper, no PhD (sorry mom), and have won a pie eating contest.

Why do I have to pee after I poop but I don't have to poop after I pee?

the force from the muscles you use when you poop causes you to pee.

how did you vote in 2014?

I was living in Ohio at the time (as I am now) I voted straight republican as the democrats, i think many democrat ohioans would agree, put up a less than stellar slate of candidates.

Which potential 2020 candidates is Atlas not paying enough attention to?

Which potential 2020 candidates is Atlas not paying enough attention to?

I actually think the candidates they aren't paying attention to are the obvious ones. Atlas appears to be searching for the next Obama. I actually think the odds on favorite is Cuomo right now, all this hunting for a more moderate dem isn't going to happen, I don't see Bernie or Biden making it back around at their ages. I think Kamala Harris is the most overrated politician right now.

I think the field looks like Cuomo, The Martin O'Malley Project, Elizabeth Warren, and a few also rans. This is the first democrat primary since 92 that is truly wide open, but I think the Bookers, Harris, etc, don't jump in. Part of the problem is the donor community, in the Democrat world it is a much more tight night community than in the GOP world, they'll tend to back a few horses rather than seeing sugar daddies take up a single persons cause.
Another problem is the true lack of a real rising star, which is honestly why I see atlas constantly looking for one, the democrats haven't really retired and gotten out of the way the way the GOP has, forcing them to have a logjam of experienced (specifically senators) holding down some of the chance for a break through star.

Who wins in a fight between Goku and Superman?

Goku doesn't use magic. Don't care what people say. Superman kills him.

Lower to lower-mid level staffer on a presidential, upper level staffer on several governors races.

I've done comms, and some policy, but I've mostly been on the tactical side.

Who do you think wins in a very crowded Democratic primary ala Trump and the GOP last year?

If I were setting betting odds?

10-1 on Andrew Cuomo
15-1 on Elizabeth Warren
25-1 on Martin O'Malley
40-1 on Seth Moulton
75-1 on Delaney
100-1 on Lincoln Chaffee
150-1 on Julian Castro
175-1 on Tim Kaine
1,000-1 on Jason Kander.

In fairness I predicted Rubio and Cruz would have duked it out for the nom after Trump finished a surprising third but faded after a worse than predicted Super Tuesday. I still think it probably would have happened if Kasich had dropped out after Nevada like he should have
