I actually think it's unlikely for Sanders, but Biden likely would have won, if he had run. Many many many people saw this coming and begged him to enter the race. Biden has a bond with the blue-collar workers who fled to Trump, he has

Two-thirds of Republicans still believe Obama was born outside the US. What possible justification do they have for that belief? Let's stack up our beliefs and see whose match more closely with "facts."

Over 100 million of us watched The Day After when it aired, a TV movie about nuclear war. So not only was it top of mind, the range of media alternatives was so much smaller. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_After

So covering up a known in-progress security breach is standard procedure? Instead of telling your users to change their passwords and so on? Personally, I demand criminal investigation and at least a $1000 fine per account breached.

Soaps and shampoos are a bit of a luxury item, which is why there are whole stores like "Bath & Body Works" that just sell them. It's a marketing opportunity for the manufacturers to pay hotels to put out their mini-bottl
