‘Better Call Saul’ Catch up Thread

2 Comments
If you are living under a rock, 'Better Call Saul' (BCS) is a series on AMC created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould. Set in 2002, it is a spin-off prequel of Breaking Bad. Critics, namely me, consider it the best writing and directing on TV right now - or ever. BCS follows the story of small-time lawyer James Morgan "Jimmy" McGill played brilliantly by Bob Odenkirk, six years before his appearance on Breaking Bad as Saul Goodman. During the season one cold opening of BCS we find Jimmy playing the part of a sad sack manger of a Midwestern Cinnabon Franchise as he predicted in one of the closing episodes of Breaking Bad. (Wait a sec...is Jimmy "playing the part" of a sad sack manager, or is he a sad sack manager?) How does he get from "jimmy McGill" to "Saul Goodman" to this sad sack? I guess we'll see. But for catch up purposes, I will not go into the plot, but look at the characters and chat about plot from now on.

Hats cost money

COOPER: You always say you're self-funding. How much do you think your campaign has cost - in the past you said $25 million. TRUMP: I can tell you, I'd say…

Which candidate was a client of the DC Madam?

A lawyer who represented the so-called “D.C. madam” says he has phone records that could influence the outcome of the presidential election, and he’s threatening to release one or more names on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court if he’s denied a hearing on his right to distribute them.
So let's assume Montgomery Blair Sibley, the late "DC Madam" Deborah Palfrey’s attorney, does have information that ties one of the current candidates to some of the same prostitutes famously frequented by former Senator and presently disgraced pious blow-hard, David Vitter... which one is it? I have listed the candidates from LEAST likely to MOST likely:
Who said it, Hans Reigle or John Carney?

Take the quiz. Identify which statement was copied from which candidates web page, and I'll post the correct answers in the comment section this afternoon. Deficit: A: "For too long, Democrats and Republicans have spent trillions of dollars the nation didn't have." B: "Eliminate wasteful spending that is draining our nation's economic resources. An $19 trillion national debt is unacceptable." Jobs: A: "Reclaim high tech and low tech manufacturing jobs to enable more Americans to work. Too many jobs have moved overseas. Strong export industries like aerospace and agriculture need to be nurtured." B: "Delawareans are not just competing against other Americans for good jobs -- they are competing against an increasingly educated workforce around the world. By investing in innovation and building the industries of the future, the U.S. will continue to grow and maintain the world's leading economy." Education: A: "...states and school districts should have flexibility in determining how best to educate their students." B: "Local control of education needs to be increased and maintained." National Security: A: "Address our border control problems in order for Americans to reclaim our sense of security. Current immigration laws are not being properly enforced. A weak border complicates immigration reform and is a threat to our national security. Unvetted immigrants should not be allowed entry into the United States. B: I firmly believe that America should be focused on nation-building here at home, not abroad, I feel strongly that we must maintain a counterterrorism infrastructure that ensures a tragedy like September 11th will never happen again.

GOP Chair Call On Candidates To Court DE Primary Voters Newark, DE — The Chairman of the Delaware Republican Party today called on the three remaining GOP candidates for President to visit the State and court primary voters in advance of the April 26th Primary Election. “I have said for months that Delaware’s Presidential Primary will be relevant in 2016, and I expect each of the candidates to spend time with First State Republicans asking for their vote,” said Copeland. Delaware’s April 26th Presidential Primary Election is considered late in the primary season, and falls on the same day as delegate rich Pennsylvania (71 delegates), Maryland (38 delegates), and Connecticut (28 delegates). Yet, the 2016 fractured Primary places a premium on every delegate to the July National Convention in Cleveland.
