2020 Presidential Race

[Weezer]

Moochelle would be the best choice for identity politics purposes. Black.... woman... and named Obama. I'll bet eht Dems would help with the 25th amendment vote then...

Michelle Obama would be a better choice than Kamala or Abrams.

 

[Weezer]

Biden says candidates might need Secret Service protection after wife corralled protester

Biden has no worries--Jill will body slam them.

I thought he was inheriting Bloomberg's resources? I'd think Mike could afford better security.

 

[Weezer]

How does Warren dropping out help Biden? It hurts Biden.
That seems to blow your whole theory out of the water.
Also, when did the 16 repub. candidates end their campaigns in 2016?
Was there a conspiracy behind the timing?

How does it hurt Biden? Warren had appeal across the spectrum. Some may move to support Bernie, but some will move to Biden. No one knows the exact numbers. Fewer choices help the Democrats overall. Besides, with everyone else dropping, the writing on the wall was clear. It's a two person race, and Warren was not one of those two people. Why continue to spend on an obvious lost cause?

iirc that Hawaii woman that was running for the nomination at one time would be a good pick -- at least by looks alone

Tulsi is on the outs with the party. Not a chance she gets picked.

Bernie isn’t going to run as an independent. It would forever ruin whatever he thinks his legacy is.

Just found Bernie's legacy.

 

[Zues1]

Just glad I don't have to hear warren with her mini mouse voice tell me about he time as a school teacher again.

So were now down to three geriatrics for POTUS.

 

[C-south]

No one really cares who. Not many care if it is Biden or Bernie. Most are probably glad it isn't a communist/socialist and therefore are relieved that the democrat establishment rallied behind Biden to push him ahead, probably for good. I mean to say, most are relieved that a communist does not have a good chance now to be the candidate chosen for President. That would be real bad for the country.

But aren't any of you just a bit curious as to the timing of the Buttigieg/Klobuchar pull out just days ahead of the Super Tuesday primaries? Not just a little?

You mean Pete isn’t in it for the long haul? Thought he was gonna be around until the end.

I don't think she should have continued.
She was pulling votes from the far left, Bernie's territory.

She was pulling votes across the spectrum. Carlos posted a poll in another thread about Warren supporters' second choice. Check it out, and do the math. It's not as clear cut as you make it out to be.

I saw it. She was pulling far more from Bernie.
But it's a ridiculous point in my mind.
I was just using it to highlight the idiocy of the conspiracy theories about the DNC fixing the election.

Old ass. Who watches TV Land lolol

Gunsmoke at lunch. Andy Griffith in evening. Good TV. You're never too old for Fast Draw Fife.

Just come to VN for that. Single bullet and all.

Those aren't theories. They will stop at nothing to find Hils a path to the WH. It's still her turn you know. Until VP running mates are selected that do not end in Clinton, it is a very plausible scheme.

If the Pete and Amy supporters switch to Biden, the numbers on that poll change. That's why I said do the math. It's all speculation.

You are a commie if you do not like Andy Griffith, or if you use Barney as your avatar.

 

[GVF]

The Stacy Abrams talk is the most inexplicable thing I’ve ever seen.

That would be par for the course. They despise the don so much they are seriously considering Kamala/Abrams and actually think those would make good VP's. Talk about a big left hook into the trees.

 

[GVF]

Whose the puppet master I keep seeing referenced but not named? The one who made Amy and Pete drop out. The one who is apparently naming Biden’s VP pick for him. Please don’t just throw out Soros.

It's a consortium on the continuum.

Considering what Debbie Wassermann-Schultz and the DNC did to Bernie in 2016, you shouldn’t be so quick to poo poo the idea that the DNC could be about to screw him over once again.

She has recently and specifically stated politics is not her path. Said it was her hubby's, but not hers. We will see if she meant it, or it was coach's speak.

I'd say so. When it was clear ole Don was gaining national steam, and the only outside chance of beating Hils, the others began to fade out. the theory may come at different levels of verocity in both parties, but when the chosen one is chosen, the others are told what to do.

 

[GVF]

Tulsi is on the outs with the party. Not a chance she gets picked.

Which is why it makes perfect sense for non-conforming Bern to see if she'd be interested. Then we could have mud wrestling with her and Haley in 2024 instead of debates.

He's an independent that is far to the left of most dems.. Why in the world would anyone ever think he would be supported by the DMC?
