Two of the past four Democratic primaries have been one by the candidate leading at this point in the cycle. The two who lost had leads about equal to Biden's. wapo.st/2ZzHfr9
This isn't a great pattern for Biden. wapo.st/2ZzHfr9
I'm proud of the typo in my tweet above. It shows that I'm a man of the people. Maybe you elite snobs delete your typos. That's not my style.

Why's Biden leading? A wide lead among moderates in an electorate that, according to a new poll, is more worried about working with the GOP than advancing progressive policies. wapo.st/2WgLi9F
This chart really says a lot about the 2020 Democratic primary contest. wapo.st/2WgLi9F

Rod Rosenstein speaking in NYC:

"Last week, the big topic of discussion was, what were you thinking when you stood behind Bill Barr at that press conference with a deadpan expression?"

"The answer is: I was thinking, 'My job is to stand here with a deadpan expression.'"
Part of a not-very-complimentary riff about the media.

Trump's tweet about apprehensions is not only 180 degrees from what he said in 2017, it also disparages his own position from 2017 as bad. wapo.st/2Gv4vht
When apprehension data looked like this, it was proof that Trump's policies worked. wapo.st/2Gv4vht
Now that apprehension data looks like this, it's proof that Trump's policies work. wapo.st/2Gv4vht

This is about as a good answer from @JoeBiden as I would expect. “If in fact they block the investigation, they have no alternative but to go to the only other constitutional resort they have, [which] is impeachment.”
The impeachment standard was met before the Mueller report was even published, in my view, and the redacted report only makes the process a more logical next step. I argued that after the report’s release for @RSPolitics. rol.st/2Zp5XdF
Trump has likened the Mueller investigation to treason and an attempted coup. Now he is trying to block any Congressional oversight. This isn’t something to laugh off as Trump being Trump, trying once again to sue his way out of a problem. It is a problem. nyti.ms/2V2HJrb

In the 2016 Democratic Primaries, Hillary Clinton got around 55% of the vote, Bernie got around 45%.

Current polls show approx: Warren 6%, Harris 8%, Klobuchar 1%, Gabbard 0%, Gillibrand 0%. That's a total of 15% of the vote going to women candidates, 85% to the men.
That means there's around 30% of the Democratic base (like 5 million people) who supported Hillary in 2020, are choosing a male candidate to support rather than one of the female candidates. Assuming she had 50/50 support, that is around 2.5 million women, give or take.
The notion in 2016, and even stronger today, is that you must inherently be a sexist if you prefer one of the males to the women. This is often said by women (as you'd imagine) If that's the case, why are there so many women (around 2.5 million)not supporting a woman candidate?
