The 2020 Presidential Election Primary Thread

[Uncle Ted]

I wonder if Bloomberg jumping into the race only helps Sanders. One more moderate to split the vote and let Sanders glide to the nomination. Had Bloomberg not been at the debate this week, most of the fire would have been directed at Sanders as the frontrunner. Instead most of the time was spent trying to discredit Bloomberg.

I think Bloomberg is also helping Drumpf... He has pumped over $450 million into the president's economy!

The Math Dude says the Democrat party is not the party of working class Americans...

Yeah, it is clearly the party of the socialist Bernie fan boys and girls that live in their parents' basements.

[Uncle Ted]

The Dem party needs someone to save it from Bernie...

More Dem meltdown over Bernie Nevada win...

James Carville: "Democrats who think Sanders can beat Trump are fools, incredible stupidity..."

Carville: “If you’re voting for him because you think he’ll win the election, because he’ll galvanize heretofore sleepy parts of an electorate, then politically, you’re a fool. And that’s just a fact. It’s no denying it, there’s so much political science, so much research on this that it’s not even a debatable question. And if people are appraised of this, and they know that, and they want to do it as Democrats, that’s their own business. But I don’t think they have all the facts that they need before they make this judgment going forward."

Nicolle Wallace: “You’re describing a lot what sounds like political suicide?”

Carville: "It is."


And Chris Mathews is saying if it comes down to Bernie and Drumpf then vote for Drumpf...

MSNBC Matthews to Establishment Democrats: Vote for Trump
[...]
Over at MSNBC, a network that has received the ire of the Sanders campaign due to their overt bias against Bernie, one host appears to be making the case for Donald Trump. Granted, this was more directed toward the Democratic Party establishment and the rest of the anti-Sanders wing. But Chris Matthews, who has railed against Bernie’s candidacy, even suggesting an electoral slaughter, all but told this group of voters to vote for Trump. He virtually said it on live television. To be blunt, Matthews said that the Democratic Party establishment would be better off with four more years of Trump than a Sanders administration and the revolutionary baggage that comes with it.

And Matthews compares the rise of Bernie to the WWII fall of France...

Mathews: "It's over!"

Dems, #WriteInMitt in the primaries. He is our only hope. And if Mitt doesn't become the Dems' pick then vote Libertarian!

Speaking of being over...

WATCH: Biden Can’t Remember What Son’s Job Was, Thinks He Was U.S. Attorney General

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden could not remember what his late son Beau Biden did for work during a CNN town hall event on Thursday night, falsely claiming that his son was “Attorney General of the United States.”


“Never direct the Justice Department as to who they should or should not indict and under what circumstances they should or should not,” Biden told the audience at the event. “That is an independent judgement to be made.”

“My son, the one who, my deceased son, was the Attorney General of the United States,” Biden falsely claimed, adding, “and before that, he was a federal prosecutor in one of the largest offices in the country in Philadelphia.”

Sad... Alzheimer's is a terrible disease.

Mitt would be great and I would vote for him if he could win, but I’m voting for the democrat because they are not an asset for an adversarial government.

Really? Is there anyone more pro-russia than Sanders? Or, I guess, pro-USSR.

Camus wrote The Plague as metaphor for fascism. I was thinking that if current events were a novel the Coronavirus would be interpreted as a metaphor for the socialism virus infecting America. Even coming from China.

Russia (not USSR), possibly:

Here in South Carolina, Tom Steyer must be dropping tens of millions of dollars on ads. He's on every YouTube/facebook video, TV channel, mailbox, and radio that you interact with. Buttiegeg has some quality ads that seek to separate him from the marketing of others. The Bernie TV spots border on the cult of personality, and focus on legalizing marijuana and expunging records. Almost everyone in his ads is African-American or under age 30.

I bet Biden still wins here.

Bloomberg took out a full page ad in the local paper here. It probably has a local circulation of 2000, if that. I was impressed.

[Eddie]

Steyer was hitting Utah pretty hard with ads for a while - and he still has some playing. But nothing - NOTHING - like what Bloomberg has running. Feels like the last couple of times I've been watching TV, every ad set includes one for Bloomberg.

Other than a mailer, I have not seen a single ad for Bloomberg anywhere here. Maybe my profile lets them know that I hate the son-of-a-bitch.

Which son-of-a-bitch do you like in the primaries?
