There's another poll with her leading. I don't think she will run though.
Early days but I see the field as the following
Sanders
Biden
Harris
Booker
Gillibrand
McAuliffe
Holder
Cuomo
Steyer
Kander
Garcetti
Hickenlooper
O'Malley
Leaving aside a couple of spots for the likes of Cuban and other celebrity types.
I know both Harris and Biden are chasing the Obama and Hillary donors. Whoever wins that battle will be the main challenger to Bernie. My hope is that the donors split and Bernie walks through.
I think Harris may get a bit of both sides since she is getting rid of pac money, supporting single payer etc.
She's getting rid of PAC money for her state-level races AFAIK. Same as Gillibrand.
This is a new level of whataboutism. Apaprently Pruitt is leaking damaging information on Zinke to deflect his ethical compromises.

Would be cool to discuss past presidents.

Trump's Approval Rating Declining Among Union Workers
A Reuters–Ipsos poll released Friday revealed that Trump’s job approval among union members declined from 62 percent in March 2017 to 47 percent in March 2018. In contrast, the President’s approval rating dropped 8 points among all Americans, Washington Examiner reported.
A number of union workers who spoke to Reuters cited the struggle in the coal industry, the increasing threat of a trade war, and tax cuts as major reasons Trump has lost their support.
Now Democrats are looking to reclaim the Rust Belt, a demographic that usually leans left but turned to Trump in the 2016 election after he vowed to give new life to factories and coal mines.
Reuters polled 902-1,558 union workers monthly and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3-4 percentage points.
As for the all Americans poll, 10,121-12,436 respondents were surveyed with a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage point.

It's depressing that it was and still is that high.
Attempts to get rid of the electoral college system

Disgusting. WF is an Amazon subsidiary as well. Amazon treat workers badly, that's always been known. Instead of asking for donations to help him pay medical bills, they are asking people to give up their paid leave to the company. Repulsive.
I read that since the takeover existing employees have been quite unhappy with the workload and other changes. But I can't find a link.
That's a huge story. He would have been a front runner to become the next attorney general if the Dems win the presidency in 2020.
Looks like Trump knew what Schneiderman was up to.
Schneiderman being a dickhead aside, it's infuriating that Trump gets to play innocent on all of the accusations against him because the GOP voters decided it didn't matter to them.
Takes one to know one.
fecking hell.
Over to you, CA attorney general.

Twitter wants Preet to take over as NY AG.
I doubt Cuomo would agree to that. They're both attention whores.
He wouldn't have a choice. If Preet decides to run for the office then its up to the voters.
If this was something brought about by Cohen or Trump - National Enquirer perhaps? - and it results in a tougher AG, that could be proof of a higher power
these people will never stop believing that they can take down trump by exposing his misdeeds
