In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Are we thinking Clinton/Rubio at present?

My experience in Iowa was a great one. I started out with all of the experts saying I couldn't do well there and ended up in 2nd place. Nice
Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump26m26 minutes ago
Because I was told I could not do well in Iowa, I spent very little there - a fraction of Cruz & Rubio. Came in a strong second. Great honor

The media has not covered my long-shot great finish in Iowa fairly. Brought in record voters and got second highest vote total in history!
Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump6m6 minutes ago
I will be talking about my wonderful experience in Iowa and the simultaneous unfair treatment by the media-later in New Hampshire. Big crowd

I don't believe I have been given any credit by the voters for self-funding my campaign, the only one. I will keep doing, but not worth it!
Trump will bounce back. Remember. The voters are still mad.

Hidden Cat 2016.
I'd assume he means someone who appears refreshing and likely to bring change at first, but is ultimately not too different to what's come before. That would obviously depend on each person's own personal opinion of how much of an impact Obama's had.
Sounds about right.
Some of us were optimistic that America had gotten so carried away with pretending they weren't racist that they'd inadvertently elected an actual socialist, rather than just someone the far right call a communist, as they do most people.
To be fair, I think anyone - no matter how ambitious - is always going to be limited to a certain extent in America with all the cheques/balances that come with being the president. Sanders would likely be the case, and would probably struggle to implement plenty of what he wants. Still, that's no reason not to vote for someone like Sanders if you do support him, because it's better to have someone you agree with not being able to live up to all their promises than someone you strongly disagree with being able to live up to some of theirs. I think.

The end is near for him.
Yeah, I'd go along with all that.
This. Anyone expecting sweeping change is setting themselves up for perpetual disappointment.
Bernie has been saying the same things for decades, the man is for real.
I believe him to be the best US candidate I have seen in a very very long time and finally the folks there have a decent, honourable option instead of the same usual horseshit.
Obama did make a difference and tried to do as much as he could. The ACA was a good start for example. He could have been tougher with the GOP but I felt he was too consious of being the first AA President.
Bit early for that, he had a ~20% lead in NH which historically is far better at picking the nominee than Iowa.
Anyone but Obama and we don't have a deal with Iran. He hasn't done enough but, if people listened to him during the campaign -beyond the oratory skills and cool factor, he wasn't exactly 'radical'.
Despite this...he has been called a communist/marxist/socialist on a daily basis...now imagine, if he had the same policies as Sanders. He literally would have been lynched.

I see Donald Trump has finally learned how to retweet people, rather than just copy and paste the text.
The article is not very specific, if Carson is talking about the "going home to get more clothes" statement then he's being a moron, and blaming Cruz for his own stupidity. Why on earth would you mention that you were temporarily suspending your campaign to go home DURING a caucus? What other impressions were people supposed to draw?
Which is his campaign in a nutshell come to think of it.

sweeping change had happened, can happen again. Plus, any small change in the right direction, still gets you closer to the goal. There is no stopping now, just delaying the inevitable. (If Bernie is elected and he really is all he says he is)
Young people needs to get involved and change gonna be faster.
edit. if a president cant complain with his campaign promises, he should talk straight to the country about the reasons of it, and put the blame where it belongs, so people can know.

Christie already attacking Rubio as 'The Boy in the Bubble'.
I'm struggling to believe that he, Jeb and Kasich are all going to withdraw and throw their support behind him any time soon.

tbf all 3 are a lot more qualified than him and why should they. The GOp is in very bad shape and Rubio will not be able to save them.
Jeb! s poll numbers are in the toilet as is his results...when will his superPac stop backing him and throw their money behind Rubio? He is the only establishment candidate that has a chance for the GOP.
Rubio is a default candidate for the establishment. He has no stature. Manufactured. This is why all the others will rip into him. The next GOP debate should be interesting.
I saw him and TV just there and he also appears moderately sane. Like the sort of guy you could probably talk to for a few minutes and, at a stretch, think of as not being batshit crazy. He has that sort of photogenic look to him. Whether that'll stop petty party politics potentially going against him is another thing though.
Kaisich is actually pretty moderate compared to him.
Perhaps, but the odds have him as a massive outsider. Rubio's actually got a decent chance of winning.
If he gets clearly above them by next week, perhaps. If not, it's a lot more squabbling until Super Tuesday at least.
yeah. Super Tuesday will sort both sides out.
Cruz Campaign has just apologized to Ben Carson
----------Last night when our political team saw the CNN post saying Dr. Carson was not carrying on to New Hampshire and South Carolina, our campaign updated the grassroots leaders just as we would with any breaking news story. That’s fair game.
What the team should have done is send around the follow-up statement from the Carson campaign clarifying that he was indeed staying in the race when that came out.
That was a mistake from our end, and for that I apologize to Dr. Carson.-----------
Even the apology is a lie...CNN didn't say Carson was not carrying on to NH and SC.
I think he's the real deal.
Unlike Obama, he's funded almost exclusively through supporter donations and not corporations or powerfully lobbies. For what its worth I think Obama is personally a good guy but still a product of the establishment, whereas Sanders is pretty much as anti-establishment as you can be within mainstream US politics.
Wrong. Obama's ascent to the Presidency was famously funded by small donations, in fact he revolutioned the concept of grass roots campaign funding which Sanders is now copying. The reality is that people talk all sorts of shite during campaigns and are then forced into reality and pragmatism once they are elected and realize they represent the entire country and not just the idealistic loons on the fringes of their own party. Sanders would be no different, as it's a normal facet of responsible governance.
Wow. Really hope this load of crap is not swept under the carpet.
Kasich is the best candidate of the bunch but sadly much to sane to make it though the crazy GOP primaries.
Rubio will probably get it IMO, he is very good on his feet in a debate setting as well.
Given the obstacles put in his way I'd say he's done a great job. Certainly not a scam.
You can't equate the two's campaign funding. Obama had Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Time Warner, Citigroup and other major companies on his list of top contributors. He also availed himself of a Supet PAC.

Spot the difference.

Hilary's politician hairdo is just the worst. Instant dislike.
