Stefan Halper was a Cambridge Uni professor, a former White House insider teaching political science.

But in 2016 he was something else - an FBI informant secretly recording Trump advisers.

His story is pretty crazy. It’s ep4 of our podcast: playpodca.st/crossfire
Halper is a veteran of Republican politics. He served 3 of the party’s presidents - Nixon, Ford, Reagan.

He lived through Watergate from inside the bunker. He switched into academia and in the early 2000s moved to Cambridge.
Halper has past intel connections. His first father in law was a famed US intel figure. He also used to be on the FBI’s books.

In the summer of 2016, as the FBI scrambled to investigate Trump-Kremlin ties, they reached out to the well-connected Halper.

#Bernie supporters on Reddit are taking the loss well. Calling voters in SC “rodents”, saying black voters in Southern States shouldn’t matter, and calling South Carolinians “uneducated.”

#SouthCarolinaPrimary
#BidenForPresident
#BernieSanders supporters are saying that black voters are “low information” and “voting against their interests” and “out of touch” and “are only voting for Biden because of Obama and not his policies”

#SouthCarolinaPrimary
#BernieSanders supporters:

“years of terrible education in the south due to racism have caused black voters to not get the education necessary to see that only Bernie can help them... it may be necessary mobilize and discourage certain Black voters from turning out.”

A thread w/ #Bernie's excellent interviews today.
#Bernie2020 #NotMeUs #NHprimary2020

"If you do, as Mayor Buttigieg does, take huge amounts of contributors from pharma CEOs, fossil fuel financiers, insurance, Wall St, does anyone seriously believe you will stand up to them?"
Chris Wallace makes the case for Pete Buttigieg.

Sanders - "Do you think when the CEO's of the major drug companies contribute to your campaign, you will take them on? Common sense suggests ... you will not effectively represent working families." #NotMeUs #NHprimary2020
"How do you overcome the #socialist label?," Chris asks.

"In many respects, we are a socialist society today ... The difference between my socialism and Trump's socialism is I believe that government should help working families, not billionaires." #BernieBeatsTrump #Bernie2020

We are living in a very different political climate today but interesting to draw the comparisons of the 2008 Iowa Dem Caucus -

White voters split their vote:
Obama: 33%
Hillary: 27%
Edwards: 24%

This gave Obama an opportunity to consolidate the minority vote
Only 4% of the voters were African-American but Obama received a whopping 72% of their vote.

Other minority votes consisted of only 3% of the vote but Obama had nearly double Hillary’s share of their vote.
With so many candidates running in 2020, and a 9% minority population in IA, we could see even more severe splitting of the white vote.

We don’t have Iowa specific stats right now but the national white electorate leans most towards Warren, Pete, Amy, and T***i.

Bernie Sanders isn't my candidate, his time, I think, has passed. But I WILL say that we should credit him for a lot of what current progressives are campaigning on. If he gets the nomination, we vote for him. This is an interesting piece. #TuesdayThoughts washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
2-"The Democratic presidential jam session gained a new act Tuesday with Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) entry into the race. Despite running second in most early polls, Sanders is likely to find that he can’t recapture the magic once he goes back out on tour. Sanders’s 2016 debut
3-"effort was the definition of catching lightning in a bottle. His fiery progressive populism resonated among the Democratic left and the young, both of whom hungered for a different tune. Hillary Clinton had scared every other significant competitor out of the race but proved
