I think it would be great if it were Warren. She'd bring over all the Bernie people for starters. I also think she's fantastic all the way around. A breath of fresh air. She's been giving Trump hell lately, which I find both surprising and entertaining. 

I've always thought it would Castro as the Veep to lock the Latino vote. Although they don't need to worry about that too much anymore, Trump already did it for them.

I don't think it'll be Castro.  And Trump has been the Democrats best weapon.  All they have to do is replay his dumb outlandish statements.  I just can't see anyway he can win.  He has no money and the Clinton machine pretty much kills him in organization and the ground game.  Oh and he seems to do really stupid shit on a daily basis.

The NY Times just ran a piece about how he ran his casinos into the ground in Atlantic City.  I've always felt that his "business acumen" has been vastly overated.

What a joke. Nobody is watching this show because of Robin Wright. I'd pay them to write her out!

She's also the worst part of the show in many ways. She's a good actress, but her character is annoying.

Alot of people watch this show, because they want to see Spacey as Frank Underwood the main character, a corrupt manipulative politician who makes it to the white house. She thinks they watch it, because they want to watch sub plots about Claire deciding whether or not to have affairs.

I like Robin Wright but you are correct here.  Her subplots in S3 and S4 were pretty boring--with the dying mother plot and her having an affair with the biographer/speech writer.  Oh and I never bought the UN ambassador plotline either.

Oh and if we are listing negatives here: the actor who plays Underwood's adversary in the general election in S4, Will, is horrible.

I'm glad you survived and are okay.

Here my brush with an idiotic driver:

I got my ankle fucked him pretty badly when I was was walking to park years ago.  Some guy turned while I was walking across the street (he was talking on his cell phone too) and hit me square in the ankle.  I had to go to rehab for a few months since it was a severe sprain.  I guess I should consider myself lucky that he was going at a slow speed.

I can never get these Periscope feeds to play audio or video. Am I supposed to download something as well? I'm on Chrome.

No.  I just click and the thing plays.  I'm on a Mac computer though.

Axl really sounds great on these ACDC songs.    Clearly he is excited for this gig.

I'm actually curious if they pull out more of the Bon era songs or just go with whatever standard playlist they've been playing.

Whole Lotta Rosie.  Guess Axl is doing an Ac/DC warmup song for the tour.

BTW the periscope link for me doesn't have any picture.. just audio.    but sounds good.   Axl sounds great on Coma.

That's curious.  I'm getting audio +video.  Too bad this crowd is dead and comatose.  Oh well at least the money is good for the gig.
