The 2020 Presidential Election Primary Thread

[wapiti]

Looks like the party leaders are working to consolidate the moderate voters.

538 now projecting a 65% chance that no one will win.

So happy to see Joe make this a real race and do some real damage to the Dem socialists. That said, it’s so weird to that South Carolina is the first voice of common sense.

I'm not surprised African Americans discern communism's lies.

Given the timing right before Super Tuesday, could give a bump to any Biden momentum that exists. Pete voters seem to be more moderate. He's been going strong again Bernie and Warren over all their dumb leftist ideas.

California is Bernie's firewall...

Good riddance.

Don't let Wuap hear you say this!

Buttigieg is out.

Where does his support go?

Bloomberg? Here is Mike's chance to over take Joe!

Crazy that he picked up the most delegates in Iowa and is out before super Tuesday. The Iowa caucus might be dead.

Good riddance.

I'm not sure that I can answer this.....you've got me. I don't have time right now to go and read Bill of Rights discussions about whether or not the right to keep and bear arms is a Right of Man. I think that it is, since it would support "Life" if you can defend yourself. But, I don't know. I'd like to understand better the framing of the 2nd Amendment before I offer up an opinion, because, if I support background checks for buying a gun (and I do), then I'm being hypocritical about voting with ID, and I need to consider my opinion some more. It might be a good while before I can answer this honestly, but for now I think that your question is very valid and has given me pause.

This is a nice response. I wish more people were this willing to admit that others with opinions they do not share at least have a good point.

David Brooks freaking out about Bernie. He’s absolutely right, but a real Johnny come lately. Many have been saying this for a long time.

Voting for a presidential candidate that triggers Brooks is icing on the cake. Bernie/Tulsi 2020!
