I have to say that this was kind of an odd headline: Monmouth Polling: Dems Prefer Electability in 2020
and the detail:
> The poll also asked registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents about their party’s nomination process. In considering who should be their party’s standard bearer, a majority of 56% prefer someone who would be a strong candidate against Trump even if they disagree with that candidate on most issues. Just 33% say they would prefer a nominee who they are aligned with on the issues even if that person would have a hard time beating Trump.
> “In prior elections, voters from both parties consistently prioritized shared values over electability when selecting a nominee. It looks like Democrats may be willing to flip that equation in 2020 because of their desire to defeat Trump. This is something to pay close attention to when primary voters really start tuning into the campaign,” said Murray.
oops, gotta go. BRB
 
BradC
BradC
3:17 PM
Back. What I meant to say about the above polling link:
"Democrats want someone who can beat Trump" is obvious and trivially true
But there is an underlying assumption, both throughout the Monmouth article, and through some of the other reporting about it, that "electable = more centrist"
which, I'd contend isn't obvious at all
Yes, I think that is old-school conventional wisdom
 
ToxicFrog
ToxicFrog
Yeah, I'm terrified that they'll conclude "beating Trump is most important, and the way to do that is to run to the center"
 
BradC
BradC
but I don't think that was borne out in these last 2 elections (2016 and 2018 midterm)
 
ToxicFrog
ToxicFrog
Yeah.
 
BradC
BradC
here's an interesting tidbit:
> When asked who they would least like to see get their party’s nomination, 10% of Democratic voters name Sanders, 5% each name Biden, Harris, or Warren, 4% name Bloomberg, and 3% each name Booker, O’Rourke, or New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. However, 4-in-10 Democrats (39%) say they cannot think of any potential candidate they would least like to see as the nominee and another 9% specifically say that anyone from the field would be acceptable to them.
 
BradC
BradC
3:31 PM
In fact, I think the 2018 election especially demonstrates that this "run to the center in the general" conventional wisdom may not be true at all
And it puts into stark perspective the clear tendency of the Democratic party to do just that over the last 20 years; they have been, historically, afraid to be seen as "too far left".
The truth that we are now seeing so clearly is that the right will call you "extreme left" no matter what you do, so why not stand by your actual principles and goals?
And most encouragingly, those actual principles and goals, when you can articulate them clearly, are hugely popular among vast numbers of the population
(even among Republicans, most shockingly)
(Not to mention that it is manifestly clear that the Republicans are unwilling to actually compromise on anything, no matter how far you try to "meet them in the middle". To a Republican, "compromise" means "do it my way, period". Democrats are finally realizing that and telling them to F off, like we should have been all along.)

Gravel v. United States, 408 U.S. 606 (1972), was a case regarding the protections offered by the Speech or Debate Clause of the United States Constitution. In the case, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the privileges and immunities of the Constitution's Speech or Debate Clause enjoyed by members of Congress also extend to Congressional aides, but not to activity outside the legislative process. == History == On Tuesday, June 15, 1971, Senator Mike Gravel (D-Alaska) received a copy of the Pentagon Papers from Ben Bagdikian, an editor at The Washington Post.

hmm... that's not what Wikipedia says; they're casting the net pretty wide, to all "daughter" organizations:
The Trump Organization
The Trump Organization is the collective name for a group of approximately 500 business entities of which Donald Trump, the current U.S. President, is the sole or principal owner. Approximately 250 entities use the Trump name. Donald Trump's grandmother Elizabeth Christ Trump and father Fred Trump founded the organization in 1923 as E. Trump & Son, and it was led from 1971 to 2017 by Donald Trump, who renamed the company around 1973. The Trump Organization, through its various constituent companies and partnerships, has or has had interests in real estate development, investing, brokerage, sales...

(emphasis mine)
> As Trump went from rally to rally, vociferously denying any dealings in Russia, his representatives, Michael Cohen and his associate Felix Sater, worked with Trump Organization lawyers and even Ivanka Trump to push forward negotiations to build a 100-story edifice just miles from the Kremlin.
> The fixers believed they needed Putin’s support to pull off the lucrative deal, and they planned to use Trump’s public praise for him to help secure it. At the same time, they plotted to persuade Putin to openly declare his support for Trump’s candidacy. “If he says it we own this election,” Sater wrote to Cohen.

This is an original document dump. No "sources described" vagueness

@Yuuki slightly different thing, that was about trump directing Cohen to lie to congress about these deals
 
BradC
BradC
Right. The general speculation was that it had something to do with the specifically mentioned corroborative evidence of Trump's direction of Cohen to lie. ("interviews with multiple witnesses from the Trump Organization and internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents")
So it could have been "yes we had all those things, except for emails. We didn't have emails."
