The 2020 Presidential Election Primary Thread

[Jeff Lebowski]

Come on, people. The correct term is “shoo in”.

I hope that didn't phase you.

Didnt she basically launch her political career based on appointments that Brown gave her while they were schtooping? That's pretty weird.

No one thinks trump is a shoe-in. But the fact the slate of dem frontrunners provide trump any opening at all to get re-elected is telling. Any non-crazy person should demolish trump head to head, but the dems are countering trump's garbage with far left garbage.

I'm not a Kamala fan, but I doubt this revelation (people leveraging personal relationships to advance their careers, even with sex, is dog bites man territory). Certainly one of the opening salvos on this topic from the right is less than compelling, when one considers her would-be opponent in the final:

All the same, it's disgusting, and while Trump is no angel on the love front, at least he never offered sex for political favors, either to women or from women. He never cheated on someone's spouse to get himself some political power the way she did.

So as long as it isn't for political advancement, no problem! Unless either Ron Jeremy or Charlie Sheen throws his hat in the ring, I can think of no one on the planet less suitable to challenge another's sexual behavior than our current President.

It's a working progress.

Whomever is the democratic nominee will portrayed as "leftist." By the majority of GOP voters' standards they may well be, but it's hard to do worse than a racist, Russia-colluding, 24/7-lying, tantrum-having POTUS.

He will not "for sure win," as Cardiac stated.

Puh-lease Dems, grow a pair.

This is no time for Howard Schultz’s foolishness

Howard Schultz, the man who put a Starbucks on every corner, said in a “60 Minutes” interview aired Sunday that he is mulling a run for the White House as an independent. Schultz admits he’s “not the smartest person in the room,” but he must be smart enough to know he can’t possibly win.

He is quite capable of reelecting President Trump, though.

At present, the specter of a second Trump term looks comfortably remote. The blue wave in the midterm elections and Trump’s cellar-dwelling approval numbers show what the country thinks of him and his corrupt, chaotic, kooky administration. A recent poll shows him trailing any of his likely Democratic opponents. If the election were held next week, I’m pretty confident that Trump would lose to a ham sandwich.

He does have a chance in 2020, however, if the anti-Trump vote is split between two or more candidates. Imagine Schultz, a lifelong Democrat, siphoning off even 5 percent of the Democratic candidate’s vote in, say, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. The horror of 2016 threatens to become a recurring nightmare.

How about this? Nominate someone more centrist and acceptable to crossover Trump-hating Repubs.

Or, get ready, here it comes, you could just:

Write In Mitt!!!

Who is the non-leftist in the race who has a chance to win the nomination? There is Biden and............

When the early conversation centers around 80 percent marginal income tax rates, wealth taxes, and Medicare and free college tuition for all, the Democrat primary is not shaping up as a showcase of pragmatic center-left ideas.

I'm basically begging the dems to put up someone sane I can vote for. There are a lot of center-right voters in my shoes who feel the same way. But if things keep going as they are, we will be writing in a presidential candidate for the second straight election.

If all the dem nominees are leftist, then Biden could very well get the nomination because all the lefties will cancel each other out. It would be the same thing Trump did. All the other 15 GOP candidates were all pretty much the same politically and Trump was the only one that was different.

Mitt should primary Trump. In the meantime, we need him to do his Whitehorse Prophecy stuff from the senate.

I understand your position philosophically, but pragmatically speaking, Trump is unhealthy for the Republic. Almost anyone else would be better.

I'm not so sure that a swing that big would be good.

Sorry BK... it doesn't look like Jeff Flake isn't going to run:

As long as Jeff Flake's son doesn't have anything to do with it... I don't have any problem with him being the dog catcher.

Dogcatcher, I actually laughed at that one.

Then I remembered that Trump also didn't win his home state. I laughed again.

I wonder if Drumpf considers his home state New York or Florida? For tax purposes I am guessing Florida.
