The 2020 Presidential Election Primary Thread

Pretty-much. North of Ocala he's got no-chance-in-hell. South of Kissimmee, tampoco. That narrow band between Tampa and Daytona were where he might have some support. But, the counties in the panhandle would've rather voted for a Debs or Norman Thomas before Bernie. Places like Franklin County are as Southern as anywhere I grew up in Georgia.

The descendants of Cubans who fled Castro run the state. They are famously anti-Castro, anti-Communist. It's like going to Utah in the general election and saying you're an atheist or even atheism is not so bad.

Well done, democrats.

The democrats are conceding Florida by nominating Sanders.

Castro-hating Cubans in Florida weren't gonna vote for him anyway.

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

Buttiegeg has my vote. I think he's the most electable of anyone, though none of these people has any chance of beating the Baby Boomers.

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

You think Sanders is more pro Russia than Trump? That’s a dumb take man. I’m not talking about the USSR, I’m considering Putin’s Russia.

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.

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.

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.

[wuapinmon]

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.

Russia (not USSR), possibly:

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.

"Modest tax on wall street speculation."
Translation: "I am going to wipe out your 401k".
