The 2020 Presidential Election Primary Thread

I don't think you can twist it to the point of saying racism isn't that bad because a few good things in race relations at some point in history were done by politicians that could have had racist beliefs.

Maybe you should tell that to CNN... I am just quoting their article. Of course, maybe LBJ had other motives in being the "civil rights hero"...

"Maybe white racist politicians aren't so bad"

Sorry, can't agree with that, even if some in history did a few good things in their careers related to race. Good for that, but it doesn't make racism ok.

How do you feel about Trump's racism?

How do you feel about Trump's racism?

I think that Gov Northam looks much better in black face than Drumpf....

That looks more like shit face, which also seems more appropriate.

Howard Schultz seems like a reasonable guy... I would maybe vote for him.

Poll: Democrats have reason to fret Schultz

Democrats have broken into a panic over Howard Schultz's talk of an independent bid for president. A new poll suggests they have reason to be worried.


The POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows anti-Trump and Democratic voters are more open to supporting third-party candidates than Republicans are — evidence supporting the prominent Democrats who spent the last week warning that a credible, well-funded independent candidate could improve President Donald Trump’s chances of reelection.

While only 26 percent of voters who approve of Trump's job performance as president said they were very or somewhat likely to consider a third-party candidate, a larger percentage of Trump disapprovers, 41 percent, said they would consider voting for an independent. By party, nearly a third of Democrats, 31 percent, say they would consider a third-party candidate, compared with 25 percent of Republicans who indicated they would consider voting for someone other than the two major-party nominees.

As much as I'd love to mock you for this because politically you're a lunatic and personally you're a dick, I tend to agree with this line of thinking. His brief ownership of the Sonics shows that he can't be trusted. His time as the Sonics owner showed that he has no ability for soft politics (local political relationships, coalition building, fan appreciation, player relationships, taxpayer fatigue). This inability had significant impact on an entire city. He put thousands of people out of work who provided the infrastructure required to support a local sports franchise and destroyed a unifying community identity built around the Sonics.

Don't get me wrong. I hated the Sonics. But I hate even more that I can't hate them anymore.

Yeah, maybe he should run as an independent... He could maybe turn Oklahoma into a swing state. I don't think they would vote for a Dem there but could be open to an independent.

[Uncle Ted]

Skateboard Jesus might officially be running for president!... Maybe he will drive his minivan to all 57 states.

Based on 2016 data this analyst thinks that Shultz being in the race may actually hurt Trump more.

Yeah, that is what I am saying... http://www.cougarstadium.com/showthr...=1#post1401901

Of course, to run as an independent doesn't he need something like 20% in the national polls?
