Doll Is Mine wrote:All Bernie wants is for lots and lots of Democrats to come out and vote so they can take back the Senate, which is very likely based on how many Republicans are defending their seats in 2016.

The House is a problem due to Republicans rigging the system but Democrats need to start chipping away there as well.

Merkel is not known for her radicalism, pursuing safety-first policies at almost every turn, and it seems like she did not expect the popular support for taking in refugees to evaporate so quickly.

The situation is a strange reversal of Merkel's previous position. While she has been heavily criticized outside Germany for her handling of Greece's economic crisis, and is seen as the head cheerleader of the eurozone's austerity policies, those positions haven't dented her popularity at home. In fact, they're overwhelmingly popular.

Now, the tables have turned, and a policy that's gaining her plaudits from around the world could end up seriously damaging her domestic strength

Another recent poll from Wednesday showed, however, that Germans living in eastern states were much more skeptical about Merkel's welcoming policy on refugees.

Only 31 percent of respondents in eastern states were in favor of her actions, as against 44 percent in the west, the survey for "Focus" magazine showed.

Overall, 48 percent of Germans were dissatisfied with the government's handling of the crisis, as against 41 percent who support Merkel's response, according to the poll.

Host Jan Mickelson began by bemoaning that the “criminal justice system has been taken over by progressives.” In order to fight back, he argued, conservatives should look to the biblical Book of Exodus. “It says, if a person steals, they have to pay it back two-fold, four-fold,” Mickelson explained. “If they don’t have anything, we’re supposed to take them down and sell them.”

Mickelson went on to argue why jails, which he claimed are a “pagan invention,” are inferior to slavery: “We indenture them and they have to spend their time not sitting on their stump in a jail cell, they’re supposed to be working off the debt.”
“Wouldn’t that be a better choice?” the host asked.

“Well, it really would be,” Huckabee replied without missing a beat. “Sometimes the best way to deal with a nonviolent criminal behavior is what you just suggested.”

Does that matter? Hillary has a much smaller pool of people to become new followers. I think that most social media trends are irrelevant.
