While Britain has been focussed on the election of Donald Trump, and now the Ashcroft Cameron biography, the 2016 White House race has been seeing some dramatic developments

Just glad it wasn't a pheasant.
I think you mean Jeremy Corbyn.
Edit: As surbiton says, she might well get the VP nomination.
Not so sure it will be Bush, though. He's not showing very well at the moment and there are three or four other serious candidates.
After all, you can't put lipstick on a pig
Hat tip to TSE for deputising.
He's said some stuff that his faith tells him evolution didn't happen and that a Muslim can't be President.
Luckily it's been a quiet period.
Remember when I tipped Lord Howard as our next man in Bruxelles at 25/1?
@TelePolitics: Nick Clegg: I blocked Lord Howard's appointment as EU commissioner http://t.co/DwK3EvZDPX

What she did have the nerve to do was call out the ridiculous Trump when the others were running scared. Cooper and Burnham should look and weep.
Nothing major will happen were Jezbollah led Labour to badly in those.
Welcome back.
Former NoW political editor: Ashcroft's Cameron pig head story would not have passed 'basic standards' for tabloid http://t.co/D8pAjBFbUY
I'm intrigued by the possibility.
Does he have CJD?
It's tragic for one so young.
1. Loss of authority could be terminal
2. Shows power of those behind the apparent leaders, ie Ashcroft can pull the plug on Cameron if he wants, due to his powerful position and the fact that he has authority within the Press. He and the Mail don’t care for Cameron, hence this attack. Imagine if I said this about Chris Grayling (I was at Uni with him, and of course this isn't true of him) – no one would print it
3. Also initiation rites are deliberate control on future elites, to keep them in line in future
4. However it is also represents wider sexual violence, humiliation, denigration of poor people, etc, by the ruling elite
Clegg says he didn't block Ashcroft, that Cameron used him as an excuse.
Clegg says he did block Howard.
Do you think Bush will get the nod then?
Come on @TheScreamingEagles I know this is your last day (for your efforts thanks) but if you are going to set up a spoof account to continue posting to try to make us believe you are some bonkers lefty you are going to have to do better than this.
I was pretty sure she would scale in simply by standing out as the only GOP woman in an over crowded stage. Her ability to lamp one on Trump has been a bonus. Go girl!
And Ashcroft is apparently retelling a porkie pie. He didn't get a job and hasn't donated a sou or sow in years.
So what *power* does he wield beyond making himself look vengeful and petty?
He's embarrassed our PM for a day - nothing more.
His Lordship wrote a second-hand allegation from an un-quoted source, involving an initiation ceremony of a club the PM was never a member of. – No wonder some have doubts about its validity .
At my alma mater (the finest public school in Sheffield) we used to play chess using poor people as chess pieces.
We stood at Sheffield train station throwing soap at the poor
Both gave us the horn.
I'd be interested to see caucus-filtered polling from Iowa. The result there will have some feed through to NH and I'd have thought that Trump might be quite a good fit.
I still don't see Jeb getting it, and Walker is just about down and out. While I still like Kasich on policy, I think Rubio is the most likely to benefit at this stage.

Nate's analysis also works for other maverick contenders.
1) Have the LibDems go hell for leather for Labour, pointing out the LibDems were the sensible, prudent Left on the economy (rather than starting to rum that line now);
2) Resigned after the Euro results and allow the party to stand a chance of being listened to by a new voice. People just blocked out any message fed to them by Clegg.
Did you used the cleaned ones for white and the dirty ones for black?
One thing's struck me about the Labour lady's appearance on DP earlier. In her reasonable defence of railway renationalisation, she said that the railways would be more economic because of efficiency savings.
As 'efficiency savings' is another word for job cuts (or at least, that's the way Labour try to paint them when they're the government's efficiency savings), are Labour saying large numbers of railway workers will lose their jobs under renationalisation?
With chess being a white supremacist game ( I mean black goes second after white) made it even more fun.
You are scratching around for something to post now....
Meanwhile, the BBC’s coverage of the Lib Dem Autumn Conference takes on a lighter note.

It's actually a free public service. Clegg should have listened to the pb Tories....

I wrong to make up a quote about King Edward II and his gay lover Piers Gaveston

It's inevitable and no one cares, just as they didn't all those years ago.
Except it was of course losing tactical labour votes that lost them many of their seats.
Isabell Oakeshott was on WATO whining that this story is one page out the entire book.
Translation
"I traded my journalistic repuation for a story we can't stand up. Please, please, please read the rest of the book or it was all for nought..."
It's a total crock. If it wasn't conference season, I'd go for a full revolt of the PLP and declare a vote of No Confidence.
Corbyn's been totally knobbled by moderates who've kettled him. But now he's got a platform and a massive base.
If I were a Labour MP, I'd be wishing for a killer story to bring him down. But those in the evil Tory Press may prefer to let this drag on and on and on...
Someone is about to get fired.
If that does not work they will need to humiliate him publically by having a majority of the PLP vote against him and hope he resigns in consequence.
talking about elites is always tricky. What, for example, was the percentage of the population who went to university at the time of Chris Grayling? Would that have constituted an elite?
Just invest in him to keep the job I reckon:

I said here after last wednesday's GOP debate that I felt Carly had won big time, and that Trump had peaked. Carly's putdown of Trump's face comment was killer, and minimalist. Her foreign policy credentials were on display as well.
If the trend continues I shall start to feel a bit smug.
