This is the best argument I’ve seen for Pete

You're a moderate right? I'm not at all but I also like this about Pete.

Along these lines - this came out last week. Thought it was an interesting take.

Things Stacey Abrams and Pete Buttigieg get that most other pols don’t

Interesting....This is someone to take a good look at.  At first glance, comes across as too innocent for the brutality of this coming cycle, but mos def want to know more.

Why is healthcare so expensive?

It’s a little complicated, but if you get the chance you should definitely talk to someone in the healthcare business industry like pharma reps and medical device providers. It’s one of the swampiest of swampy industries in America, with all kinds of kickbacks where everyone is scratching each other’s backs to get rich off of people who just take their doctor’s advice because they trust them.

It really is pretty disgusting even if you only get a tiny piece of the picture.

In a previous life I was employed at a mental health benefits third party administrator.  There was a definite pay to play aspect that existed to get with the "right" brokers in order to get in front of the end client.  This was back 15 years ago or so, nothing even approaching parity with medical benefits, so it was quite a bit more wild-west as to how skeevy you wanted to play.

He didn't count Gonzaga as a mid major so I have to wonder about his methodology. Did he count them at some point then stopped counting them. What about Memphis? BYU? Butler at one point was certainly a mid major, are they now? For consistency sakes he should just take the top 6 or 7 conferences. Also, it should be a percentage because the number of "mid majors" vary each year. I saw something that had them as trending low until the last two seasons.

Also Wichita State 2013?  Loyola Chicago last year?  Since they were both Missouri Valley at the time, is that a top conference, or below mid-major?

And why not go back to 1985, when 64 teams started, why choose 2000? Because the play-in game started that year?

On the other hand, Biden might die in office.

she should contracts to accept a vpship for either biden or bernie.

Would it create a sideshow that the billing of the ticket is upside down? Would that discourage/fragment Dems or be a point to rally around?

Managing to keep the CotDC in his hip pocket till now was brilliant strategy, both cementing credibility with the younger half or so of voters and creating an, as of now, benign "novelty" about it all with the rest.

Yeah, they were already good, but the ticket office brouhaha revealed which nooks and crannies were better than others.

I bet Mueller's team and the SDNY team hate this. Congress is just going to run a concurrent investigation in public?

Yes, this is so dumb

You would think they would be a little more careful if congress does get someone to dish, but the potential to Oliver North this up is probably too much to resist in order to make their point.

Both Mengele as well as Schweitzer were physicians, and, presumably, experts.

Would you posit that they both upheld the Hippocratic oath? Go back to your hayfield.

Well, one was certainly more upholding than the other.  Are you sure you're not overdue for a visit to your own hayfield?

We should list the coaches Bill almost certainly got fired.  I'll start with:

Larry Smith
Frank Solich

Paul Rhoads

Rich Neuheisel maybe.

Larry Smith - Mizzou
