To be fair, there's always the "Bill Maher bump". A lot of people watch Realtime, so getting a couple minutes at the start of that is big.
If going on Bill Maher could get you a bump everyone would go on there
They pretty much all have, especially the lower tier ones.If going on Bill Maher could get you a bump everyone would go on there
Yang most definitely got one from the show.Lower tier candidates will go anywhere. Where are the bumps?
She seems like a genuine person who wants people to be happy, love, and treat each other with kindness. It could be all a ruse, but I don't think so. Hopefully the digging that's going on towards her, late nite TV is doing it in a mostly fun way, doesn't deter who she seems to be.I find it hilarious that Marianne Williamson was one of the contenders. I remember her from my years in CA, back in the heyday of the new age movement. I tried to read the book that made her famous, Return to Love, but couldn't get into it. Too treacly sweet. I heard there are some conservatives that are contributing to her campaign, probably just for the lulz.

That is wonderful to read.Oh, it's not a ruse. She's genuine all right. She's been on this same road for 30+ years. It's all based in Course in Miracles, if you know anything about that. I just find it hilarious that she found her way up there as a candidate. I saw a tweet from her where she talked about how funny she found all the jokes, calling them "understandable," so she seemed to be rolling with the punches pretty well.
There's no way it'll deter her from being her. She's been this way for decades. More power to her. Light certainly does cast out darkness. I imagine she envisions herself as doing exactly that -- a presence that brings love and compassion to an arena filled with judgment, hate, anger, vilification, us vs. them, fear, selfishness/ego, dishonesty, control ... all of that.

I don't listen to his show.
It's a single poll, though. Other polling had Warren ahead of Sanders going into the debate, so who knows?
How is Biden so high? He continuously trips over himself and got destroyed by Kamala.

Or a Joe Rogan bump?
Great country we got here
