I planned on avoiding pointing out the Gabbard thing because I didn't want us to predictably launch into another argument about her. But since we're already there I'll say that while I don't think she's wrong about Trump here... she's pretty much throwing stones in a glass house.
As far as "it's about being against regime change!" sorry, nope. There is a very big difference between "maybe he did or maybe he didn't!" and "Look, what happened was horrific and a war crime, but I don't believe we should commit our military to another war in the Middle East, etc." If you oversimplified them, both of those statements could be boiled down to "against regime change" but they are very different and should be treated as such. If she wanted to argue the latter, so be it. But casting doubt on the responsibility in the first place is in the same lane as the "we may never know!" tactics to try and muddy the waters. Trump is obviously the one using it the most in the US these days but it's another tactic he's imported. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...

Also, a retrospective on 538's models:
538 Projection: House: D+39 Senate: R+1 (rounded from 0.5) Governor: D+8 Reality: House: D+39 (with CA-21 still outstanding. Narrow R lead, but as provisionals have been coming in the Democrat has cut the lead. But they aren't going to continue counting this week so boo. Would be a D gain if the Democrat wins) Senate: R+2 Governor: D+7 So basically, 538's model was a Florida away from being perfect. (And possibly even underestimating the House slightly if CA-21 goes blue to bring the number to 40 pickups.) --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...

Trump just doesn't do the middle way. Either you're a friend or an enemy in his world, you can't be in the middle. Machiavelli recommends this but I kinda feel that MBS is so obviously guilty this isn't going to be an effective strategy here?

Also, a retrospective on 538's models: Wow. About as perfect as their 2012 predictions. A hint to predictors of future elections - think about what you know that you think 538's model doesn't know. If you don't have anything it doesn't know, you don't have anything really to add that would make your prediction better. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! ...

The thing youre missing is that its both. Maybe he did or maybe he didnt, AND I dont believe we should commit our military (and the Syrian people) to another war. Dont forget that the US originally armed and trained the rebels not to overthrow Assad, but to pressure him to come to the table. When Russia started backing him up, the US was in a lose-lose situation, in terms of do we support them further and risk Syria turning into Libya, or (more) Russian troops being killed and war with Russia? Or a dozen other pretty much all negative results for the Syrian people. --- Phantom Dust. "I'll just wait for time to prove me right again." - Vlado ... Copied to Clipboard!

Final forecast House average: Democrats 229, GOP 206. Final forecast Senate: GOP 52, Dem 48.
