George Soros gives $6 million to pro-Clinton super-PAC
Billionaire George Soros contributed $6 million to a super-PAC supporting Hillary Clinton last month, according to the committee’s latest financial statement.
…
Also making large contributions to the committee in 2015 were media mogul Haim Saban and his wife Cheryl, who gave a total of $5 million, philanthropist Laure Woods, who gave $2.3 million, and investor Donald Sussman, who contributed $2.5 million.
This group, along with Soros, accounted for two-fifths of Priorities total fundraising in 2015.

or maybe he too is not a single issue voter?
Thing is, it seems pretty obvious in the wake of Obergfell that a Democratic candidate who has “wavered” or if you prefer “evolved” on the issue will not, if elected, represent a threat to progressive objectives of equality in this narrow context. There is even a credible argument that overzealous legal enforcement could somehow backfire.
However, can a social conservative voter opposed to equal rights “trust” that a President Trump would use the full extent of Executive branch authority to at least limit the effect of Obergfell? I think the question answers itself.

Roger Rabbit spews:
@6 The more important question is whether voters opposed to equal rights should be able to elect anyone to anything. It’s up to the rest of us to prevent them from doing so.
Which brings us to this crucial point: A lot of today’s electoral politics consists not of putting good people in office, but of keeping terrible people out of office. Translated into practice, this means Democratic crooks and liars are immensely preferable to Republican crooks and liars. This explains why we liberals will vote for Hillary no matter what shit you conservatives dig up are able to dig up about Benghazi or her emails (although so far your mighty labors have produced damned little of substance). It’s also why our party refused to go along with impeaching Bill Clinton for his bad behavior. Republicans are so bad for the country that reasonable people have no choice but to vote for less-than-perfect Democrats. (Not that there’s ever been a perfect Republican … ) Like I said, modern U.S. elections are mostly about keeping terrible people out of office, and that means anyone — literally ANYONE — is preferable to any Republican.
Distant Replay spews:
@3,
moreover, the kind of false equivalence you offer here does very little to overcome the rather glaring fact that Trump appears to be duping low information evangelical voters. But if you really are determined to reject that characterization of his campaign, then you have to face up to some uncomfortable admissions. Principal of which is that the way movement conservatives have been describing their base for the past thirty years is bullshit. It seems pretty clear that these people going berserk at Trump rallies don’t really give a shit about your formulaic shopping list of culture wars dog whistles any more. If they ever really did.
And more terrifying still, they are openly hostile to your movement’s “Rich White Guys First” policy prescriptions.
Seems to me, if you people really believe this shit, you’ve got bigger fish to fry than scoring debate points about which politician is the biggest liar. If you’ve lost the evangelicals, and the NASCAR dads are abandoning the supply-side church, then you’ve pretty much lost your electoral strategy going forward. If all you’ve got to run on is Mexicans and terrorists, you just may be permanently fucked.

@9,
agreed. That was generally the point of my comment. Most national stage politicians have tended to lie to their party base while compromising with the middle of the overall electorate.
Democrats tend to lie to the base about shit that really doesn’t matter too much to a majority of voters. And they try to be vague. This may be problematic from time to time. And it has frequently had racial proportions in the era of the DLC.
But something unique about this year is that the GOP front runners are lying to the base about shit that matters, being very specific about it, and generally refusing to compromise toward the middle. Their appeal seems to depend on a willingness on the part of more moderate voters to assume that they really don’t mean it. Whether or not they mean what they say will define the nature and severity of the ideological fracture looming for the GOP. But much of that fracture can be delayed if not avoided by losing in November. Which is what many of the big mainstream elders appear to be hoping for now.

There are significant differences between republicans and Democrats. I may get what I value passed into law under a Democrat, I know it will never under a republican.

@9,
“This explains why we liberals will vote for Hillary no matter what shit you conservatives dig up are able to dig up about Benghazi or her emails…”
Although the real question should be, will “moderates” voter for Hillary? And I think, despite the concern trolling, the answer is yes.
We should ask ourselves, what does this email “scandal”, even if every troll allegation were true, say to a moderate unaligned voter about Clinton? At worst that she’s careless, or technologically inept perhaps? Whatever fright mask terms right wing ideologues may choose in describing all this, in the end voters will be looking at what actually happened, why it happened, and what resulted. So, in other words, not very much at all.
Contrast this with the allegations of bribery and corruption arising from Ted Cruz’ secret Wall Street loans. If true, and nothing so far being offered from the campaign tends to refute it, a couple of very huge banks made very, very large personal loans to Ted Cruz. And subsequently Cruz sought to avoid public notice of these loans by refusing to disclose them as the law requires. What does this loan “scandal” say to an unaligned moderate voter about Cruz?
What actually happened? Ted Cruz was given huge loans from big Wall Street banks on very favorable terms. The loans made the difference in funding a massive blitz of media in the weeks just before voting in his Senate campaign.
Why did it happen? Most voters will conclude that it happened because Cruz has a relationship with these Wall Street banks that grants him special privileges. They will also conclude that these Wall Street banks wanted to ensure his election to the Senate.
What was the result? Most voters will conclude that the loans were made so that Ted Cruz would be elected to the Senate. Some will conclude that a corollary result is that Ted Cruz, despite his rhetoric, will work to protect the interests of those Wall Street banks.
Some scandals matter more than others. Scandals involving blow jobs and cigars seem to matter a lot less than scandals involving secret pay offs. There’s “bad”. And then there’s “bad that matters”. Go figure.

Or maybe they’ve finally made peace with a world in which their narrow orthodoxy is merely confined to their personal private lives. And will not be imposed by law on their neighbors.

One thing that will likely cause things to tighten up on Monday night is that O’Malley’s supporters are far more likely to move to Sanders than Clinton at the sites where he fails to meet the 15% threshold. 57% of O’Malley voters say Sanders is their second choice to only 27% who say it’s Clinton. We found something similar on our last poll, when O’Malley voters said they’d pick Sanders over Clinton 43/20. So just based on the reallocation of O’Malley voters, Sanders can expect to make up a couple points of his deficit.

Yesterday the markets dropped.
Where was the R senile dumbass wabbit commentary?
Puddy told y’all that the markets were too volatile at this time.
Puddy gave you eight indices from the 4th quarter that came true in December
Puddy’s money is getting bank interest. Yes it’s a low rate and Puddy hasn’t lost money this year!
