He also called Theresa May Margaret Thatcher for the second time onstage.

Who could have seen disastrous Joe Biden gaffes coming, except everyone who has ever paid attention at all?

To be fair they both have the same permanent face of smelling a fart.

Joe Biden is a walking Veep skit and since we live in the hell we deserve I can't wait to watch him and Trump face off in the battle of the brainworms.

Can any of the board pollsters tell me what Bill Clinton, Obama, and Trump were polling at at this point in the election?

A more apt parallel than 2008 is probably the 2004 Dem primary--in August Howard Dean was the frontrunner, but he hovered around 22% to Kerry's 20%. I've been looking through other elections and while there have been massive shifts like the 2008 Obama rise, at this point I'm not seeing anyone who ended up as the nominee or even a serious contender for it who wasn't already polling in the high teens at 15 months out. Maybe that changes with the kind of online cycles we have now but I think this is a three horse race.

I did say that no white male candidate (based on their race and sex alone) besides Bernie has a chance to win the democratic nomination, but they are such universally terrible candidates that the Ess Jay Dubbz might be on to something after all. Dismissing them out of hand seems the best option.
