OH: More Money Stuff (August)

[The Other Castro]

Ohio is a must win state for the Dems after that nailbiter of election Dems had in Nov.  If Dems gain Ohio, then it will be impossible for Trump to secure a re-election victory.  I'm all in for Betty Sutton.

Ohio is by all means not a must win state for Dems. They will have more than enough electoral votes before Ohio becomes close.

Um what is going on.

Is the CFPB drama going to affect Cordray's chances in Ohio?

Had he been fired, I think he would’ve gotten the Sally Yates/Preet Bharara hero treatment. Now, he may come off as more of an opportunist that helped create the current mess.

Endorsed. Fun fact, Kucinch once had a hit put on him by the mob for blocking a corrupt utility privatization deal.

He's also on record defending Assad but that's neither here nor there.

You mean like he supported Saddam by voting against the $5.6 trillion Iraq war?

Yeah no

And he's better than ISIS whom was going to stay strong if we kept funding the jihadists. Pick one, Assad or ISIS. It looks like Trump picked Assad anyways.

I'm gonna go ahead and pick door number three out of that false choice and maintain my opinion that one shouldn't make excuses for war criminals. I'm not trying to solve the Syrian Civil War here.

[The Other Castro]

And supporting one war criminal over another, as opposed to supporting none, makes Kucinich an FF?

Not being pro ISIS is basic common sense that you would expect from any reasonable person.

Yes. And it does not follow as any measure of common sense that being anti-ISIS necessitates being pro-Assad. Kucinich used to be a real anti-interventionist for moral reasons. Now he's a Gabbard-esque shill and husk of the progressive populist he used to be.

He's not pro Assad. He's just against funding jihadists that only help ISIS. Maybe he shouldn't have actually met Assad so that every dumbass thinks that he's pro-Assad, but he's not.

You're the one that thinks being anti-Assad = pro-ISIS...

Anyways, I didn't intend to steer this away too far from the main discussion, just pointing to an immediate fault I have with him, demonstrating fault in position and weakness as a politician, which I don't think is good for a candidate in this race.

Whaley expected to drop out.
