arguably the single most conservative Democrat in the caucus in terms of social issues, but the left hails her as some progressive hero because she endorsed Bernie for no reason other than to stave off a left-wing primary challenger. She pals around with Sheldon Adelson, she goes on Fox News and talks about how President Obama "needs to use the words 'radical Islamic terrorism'" even though that runs against carefully considered and constructed policy. She was the only congressional Democrat not to publicly criticize Trump during the campaign and two days after went crawling to Trump Tower asking for a job.

This blog puts it nicely why those of us on the left of the party are disgusted with her: http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2016/07/to-label-tulsi-gabbard-progressive-is.html?m=1

Corruption was such an old song that Cuomo and countless others could sing along in harmony, and nowhere was it stronger than in Albany.
The world would turn upside down if Cuomo won the nomination. But, he is clever, and won't throw away his shot. This run could the only way to protect his legacy, he can't say no to this.
I mean, he's just like his country, he's young, scrappy and hungry. But about 60% of the party would need to take itself out of the narrative. Ultimately, he has no control who lives, who dies, who tells the story.

By the way, I doubt Hawaii would actually let her primary Hirono. Hawaii loves its incumbents

I guess Hirono didn't want to take the chance. Whether Gabbard would have actually won a primary had it happened is another story.
IMO Schatz, Hanabusa and Ige would've rallied behind Hirono. But Gabbard would've had access to the Sanders fundraising machine even without his explicit endorsement. Not to mention it was only 2014 when the Democrats ousted their incumbent governor in the primary. It would've been interesting to watch.

Nice write up. Seems like RCV would be the perfect opportunity for ME Democrats to field a candidate against King. Not as if it was an issue for him in '12z
While you'd think that, no one wants to risk their skin going up against a hugely popular Senator who's basically a Democrat already.

Can't support Hickenlooper. Name's too big to fit comfortably on a lawn sign.

Great job!

What about shortening it for the sign? Hinck 2020?

Hinckenlooper's way to centrist for me.
You don't #FeelTheHick?

No, I agree. He's pretty much the prototypical New Democrat.

Good job Kamala!

Booker's victory strikes me as similar to Hillary's 2016 Iowa win. Extremely close, but one the opponent really should be taking.

I now expect Liz to dominate in NH, then Nevada and SC to be Harris-Booker contests.

An all black ticket taking on Trump? Interesting thought.

Kamala saw her feet start to move forward towards the stage, and before she knew it she was at the podium. For a moment, she saw past the spotlights and caught a glimpse of the delegates. She spotted a sign saying “I’m a MAINEiac for Kamala!” Then, an elderly woman with tears in her eyes. Next, a young child on his father’s shoulders with a look of wonder on his face. It had all been for this, and it had been worth it.

As a quick author's note, as this enters the final stretch with election day posts, I wanted to note that all times listed are in Eastern time, and that this has been a lot of fun to write over the past year. Thank you to all the readers who have stuck with this so far.
This timeline is fantastic and should go into the Hall of Fame (if we have one).
