Thread: 2020 US Presidential Race

Why do they always "suspend" their campaigns?

The dopey fuckers should just quit.

That I understand, but it's put in some nefarious context as though it's a conspiracy by the party machine and all other candidates instead of being a choice by the individuals.

Perhaps if Bernie were actually a member of the Democratic Party instead of sitting in the senate as an Independent . . .

Yup, naught but the Parties talking' head - American politics is House and Senate carefully engineered Partisanship - playing the two sides against each other.

Dem or Repub doesn't matter, You get same old shit, different color but still stinks to high heaven

of course it is - in this day and age the message is co-ordinated

that a contender has to be of a party is also a conspiracy

They don't have to be, hence Bernie's seat as an Independent, but he's using the Democratic Party to further his cause.

Anyway, the two-party system is a joke and completely counter-productive

Just as well. Never much cared for her policies or personality.
Enjoyed her taking Bloomberg apart though.
Hard working, great organizer who would be very good in a cabinet position requiring those skills.

Next question is, who if anyone will she endorse?

Was that Doggie in the window underage? where is he

I’m not overly excited about Joe Biden winning the nomination, but if Sanders ends up pulling it out, get ready for four more years of the orange buffoon. Middle America is not smart enough, or forward thinking enough, to accept the policies of Bernie Sanders.

Both Biden and Bernie need to state right now that each will concede to the guy with they most delegates when the circus is all over.

Last thing the Dems need is a contested nomination. Keep the super delegates out of it.

Opinion

Elizabeth Warren may have many fans, but they did not translate into votes

So, what happened?

Senator Warren certainly has played a masterful game when it comes to public attention.
She has taken more than 100,000 selfies with her admirers, posted videos of herself calling delighted supporters, and regularly fills her Instagram and Twitter feeds with upbeat messages.
On Thursday, her supporters flooded social media with regrets at her move.

So, why didn't she do better? Here are three reasons.



1. The Bloomberg factor

Former New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg unexpectedly jumped into the race last fall just as Senator Warren was gaining steam, raising the suspicions that his motivation was more than simply beating Mr Trump.



2. Americans aren't ready

Another problem was one that Mrs Clinton also faced. Americans may enthusiastically back women for lower-ranking political positions, and claim they are ready to elect a woman president, but the majority of states and delegates in 2020 are going to men.



3. A missed opportunity

Yet, she also may have been a step behind. Many people urged Senator Warren to get into the race in 2016, but she demurred, saying she wanted to serve a full term as Massachusetts senator.
Also, she did not want to challenge Mrs Clinton, who a number of Democrats felt was owed the nomination after Mr Obama's win in 2008.
But Vermont senator Bernie Sanders showed no such reluctance to take on Mrs Clinton in 2016, when he took 46 per cent of Democrats' support and won some key states, including my own, Michigan.



... her dogged determination simply wasn't enough.

Anyone know him well enough to reach out?

He’ll be at the North Lake Tavern and Pizza House with his band of Bernie Bros soaking up the finest PACNORWEST micro suds this coming Saturday. It wasn’t the prophesied annihilation but a win is a win.

In that case give Trump the trophy now so the country can focus on defeating CVirus.

Well now that you put the idea in my head. That sounds pretty damn good.

Not to mention that Fox et all would be pushing the "fact" that Putin is supporting him, and baldy orange cunto and turtle head would probably open a Benghazi-style "investigation" into it.
