The 2020 Presidential Election Primary Thread

[Donuthole]

I don't see the hand thing. That's very contrived. However, the sad face )= in the negative space between the D and the E is something you not only can't unsee once you've seen it, but it's the first thing you see every time once you've seen it. Sort of like the Fed Ex arrow.

Obama is just saving his endorsement for someone more deserving...

Biden voted for the Iraq War. That's the beginning and the end of my consideration for Biden. I will vote for Biden over Trump, but Biden can't even hold a candle to a principled candidate like Tulsi Gabbard (who, unsurprisingly, is going nowhere since voters - in general - will embrace style over substance).

Say what, now?

Calm down- we're just in primaries. There's plenty of time for the Biden/Beto ticket to take shape.

FIFY.

After that new AOC documentary hits Netflix penises will be totally out... And Biden's campaign will be dead. All the Dems will be writing in AOC for the Dem's nomination. Who cares if she is not old enough. Did you hear how powerful that music is in the trailer? I wonder if she will pick Beto as her running mate.

Gabbard is a loon like Jill Stein. She’s an Assad apologist and pro Hindu-nationalist. No big faction in the party was clamouring for her to run.

She’s also someone Steve Bannon floated as a potential cabinet member Trump because of her extreme view on Muslims. Yeah, no thanks.

You'd vote for Hilary over Trump? Me too!

It's fun Ted trash talks Beto while he defends Trump, as if he is a picked on victim of a fictional deep state mythological vast and in-synch media complex, solely because he is so wonderful.

Any or Biden or Beto quirks, or misteps are downright endearing compared to Trumplestiltskin.

Trump disagrees! From his talk today when he referred to Biden as "Sleepy Joe":

"A lot of people wanted me to change the word sleepy to something else that rhymes with it. Does that make sense to you? And I thought it was too nasty," the President said.
Trump also said Friday that Biden and other presidential candidates are making him "look very young."

I'm not a big fan of Biden, but when it comes to creepiness or age, Trump looks better only to the deluded portion of his supporters.

You won't do better in terms of getting a moderate candidate than Biden. He prided himself on being able to things in a bipartisan fashion during his time in the senate.

I like him, pragmatically speaking moreso than idealogically speaking. He's got a policy and action track record that voters can examine.

I've read Trump is privately reporting than Bernie makes him the most nervous because of Sanders' ability to mobilize donations and support from several small and first time donors. Trump is weary of populaism coming from the other side. I like Bernie, he's a man of character, and he'd never be able to get his social democratic agenda through congress but I don't think he's electable. The right-wing noise machine would go after him as an atheist Jew non-stop, of course they'd use dog-whistles for the Jewish part.

I think Trump is going to go after Biden in the primaries more than the others because he fears Biden might appeal to independents and establishment Republicans who aren't big fans of Trump.

That makes sense.
