Your ad hominems are lovely.

It should be hard to figure because it is not reality. He needed a confluence of incredible events to win the last election and still lost the popular vote by a few million. We got another year and a half for this to play out, but one can only take comments like this as hyperbole at best, trolling at worst. "The group I'm in is the smart one, the others are dumb." Awesome. http://time.com/4457110/internet-trolls/ How Trolls Are Ruining the Internet

Yes, you do. As one who plans to spend much of my free time doing ocean activities for the rest of his life, I indeed am a "climate guy..." especially with some of what I get to see in changes to the ocean and her reefs first-hand.

I don't really know about this. I think you're mixing the Democratic party and liberal media together. We'll see, but I think Biden would pretty much be the serious frontrunner already if not for his extreme hesitance to get in the race, which I don't like and I think has hurt him as a candidate more than this stupid "me-too" spillover that's come out in the last couple weeks. Not necessarily, though I'd need kind of a case by case basis.

Real world math is that we're also the 2nd highest producer of carbon emissions in the world. We've reduced the most largely because of how much we need to reduce. You don't say that a 500 pound person who loses 100 pounds is all good just because he lost 100 pounds... he's still 400 lbs!!! Those environmental regulations you refer to are widely the same ones the Trump administration is trying to scrap or tweak so there can be easy loopholes, anyway. "They're not being good, so why should I be good?" Wonderful logic There honestly should be absolutely no reason for any Democrat (or Republican, for that matter) to bring in ANY facts or actual numbers regarding global warming. There is scientific consensus that Global Warming is real and that mankind is largely the cause of it. The fact that you actually believe that a political candidate needs to convince the general public that the US and mankind as a whole is negatively impacting our environment is one of the greatest (and most diabolical) political magic tricks the Republican party has pulled out of its hat over the last few decades.

Did you notice I like Buttiguieg more than Harris? Also that I said I think Biden probably has the best shot, who I also like? Pay attention. Good God man. He's all of those things, but I don't think that's why he's awful as a President. He's awful as a President because of policy and the inability to actually keep many of his grand campaign promises (some of which were also awful) because of his own ineptitude and (often) pettiness. Hell, the only thing the guy has actually "accomplished" thus far is his "massive tax cut" that most middle-class Americans are currently discovering didn't actually help them at all.... Thanks Republicans for my $2700 negative swing in my federal returns and advertising it as the biggest tax cut in history and a boon for the middle-class

Absolutely. Once again, I will vote for ANY of these candidates over Trump. He's just awful.

So I'm guessing you'd really hate it if a guy like Inslee became President? I really don't think he has a chance, so he's kind of an afterthought to me because I like to focus on who I think could win, but if something changed and Inslee could win, he has the right idea.

What is the extreme suffering you think will occur and is it worse than the consequences of what's happening now with a bunch of Climate Deniers in the White House?

What is "real world math" and is it something a political party can disregard the way "real world science" is today?

Reasonable. I think Beane would love to trade back for Hockenson and then use the 10+ picks he'd have at his disposal at that point to trade back into the 1st for DL.

Eh, I still think he gets into the race. He's still indicating pretty strongly he's going to. And once he gets in and this thing really gets rolling, this becomes more background noise than anything else, unless more serious/substantial accusations (ala Trump in 2016) come out. And yeah, I think he'd be awesome in the debates, but I think Harris and especially Buttiguieg would give him a real run for his money. Obama's continued popularity definitely gives Biden an advantage, too.

I agree with you about the Biden stuff. It's a really bad look and incredibly stupid... especially the way the liberal media is slamming him for his "inappropriate" jokes at that speaking event the day after the little twitter apology/video he released.

I like Buttiguieg as a candidate the best personally, but I have serious doubts our country is ready to elect a homosexual, so if he wins the primary, I'll have very mixed feelings. I like Harris probably the most as I'd be comfortable with her in the general election. I don't want Bernie, but I do like Biden and think this negative coverage of Biden from the left is a sickening representation of a movement going too far. Beto is all flair and enthusiasm, but not getting enough substance from him, yet, so it'll be interesting once he dives into that. I really think it'll be one of those 5 nominated... I don't even know why a guy like Swalwell got into the race. But I'd vote any of these democractic candidates over 45.

Hockenson, TE, Iowa Warren: The Buffalo Bills have several holes on their roster, but none more glaring than at tight end. Head coach Sean McDermott has frequently mentioned it in interviews this offseason. After Buffalo signed six offensive linemen and three wide receivers in free agency, they need a dynamic and complete player at tight end to help quarterback Josh Allen develop. While we considered Jawaan Taylor with this selection, taking a right tackle over a multi-dimensional player was ultimately too much for us when adequate right tackles will be available later. Ole Miss wide receiver D.K. Metcalf was also on our short list, but Hockenson’s blocking ability made him the pick over the receiver. Analysis: A scroll is needed to keep track of all the free agency moves the Bills have made this offseason. In addition to those six offensive linemen and three receivers, don’t forget the Bills added serviceable, and immortal, running back Frank Gore and tight end Tyler Kroft. As much as the Bills have done, you do have to wonder what they think of Metcalf. While they did sign three receivers — Cole Beasley, John Brown, and Andre Roberts — they’re all smaller receivers or play in the slot. Metcalf is a big outside target who excels on the type of deep routes that Allen specializes in throwing. Metcalf should still be in play for the Bills. None of that is to say that Hockenson is a bad pick, though. He can help the run game with his blocking and is a very good receiver at tight end. If the Bills want a player who can work the underneath game while players like Brown and Roberts get deep, Hockenson is an excellent choice. http://thehuddle.com/2019/04/08/2019-nfl-mock-draft/ 2019 NFL mock draft: Round 1 9) Buffalo Bills | TE T.J. Hockenson, Iowa There is a ton of talent within the front seven of this defense, and adding another freak, like Rashan Gary, is absolutely in play. So is being a trading partner with Miami or Washington, if either team is looking to leapfrog Denver for a quarterback. The Bills could use a cornerback, and while Montez Sweat will be tough to ignore, adding another weapon for Josh Allen is a priority. Hockenson profiles as an elite tight end and helps round out a decent but not special offseason of additions to the passing game (John Brown, Tyler Kroft, Cole Beasley). https://football.realgm.com/analysis/3145/The-2019-What-Jeff-Risdon-Would-Do-NFL-Mock-Draft RealGM Analysis The 2019 What Jeff Risdon Would Do NFL Mock Draft BY JEFF RISDON 9. Buffalo Bills: T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa. In building an offense around Josh Allen at QB, the Bills need to upgrade the reliability of weaponry and add versatility at tight end. Hockenson is a very good blocker with great hands and upside as a receiver at all levels of the field. This is higher than I prefer to take a TE but he’s the best fit for what they need to make it work with Allen’s particular set of skills. https://fansided.com/2019/04/08/buffalo-bills-dk-metcalf-draft-rumors/ Bills may be zeroing in on D.K. Metcalf at No. 9 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001025021/article/charles-davis-2019-nfl-mock-draft-20-bengals-broncos-go-qb Charles Davis 2019 NFL mock draft 2.0: Bengals, Broncos go QB PICK 9 Noah Fant - TE School: Iowa | Year: Junior The Bills could easily go with an offensive lineman here, and it would make sense, even though they did spend some capital in that area in free agency. However, a young, developing QB likeJosh Allen needs a TE who can become his go-to guy. I think Fant is the best TE in this draft.

You guys probably need a few to clean up after yourselves

Do you guys actually realize this forum is just one big circle jerk? You're just a buncha right to far right voices sounding off on each other. I come over here in this thread in particular every once in awhile just to see if there's legitimate discussion on these candidates--afterall, he/she is likely the next President of the United States --, but nah, let's just seek out a thread on a topic we're so Anti about that we drown out any positive discussion that might've existed about any of these candidates otherwise. This forum should be renamed. It should just be called... The Circle Jerk or maybe... Mutual Admiration Society The latter is more kid friendly at least.

Added Metcalf to the poll, which was just 13.22% without him. I'm curious what he adds to that number. He's another offensive weapon, though, and that's where I think we go. And as a guy who just doesn't follow college football, I didn't know the physical freak he really is!

My 2 takeaways: 1) Subtract the ridiculous prepubescent Twitter controversy that was leaked last year at draft time and I feel like Josh Allen seems to handle himself flawlessly in public. 2) She's tall

Agreed. The show has jumped the shark.

Nowhere in the title does it exclude trading down or specify “with the 9th pick” either, does it?

Because we're in need of TE and RB and there's the very real possibility we trade down. Simple.

That's also largely because of the clear lack of talent on the OL and an over-the-hill QB. Part of the RB in the equation for me is that we just went OL heavy in FA and we (hopefully) have a QB. If the Giants had those things, the Barkley pick was practically a no-brainer and wouldn't be questioned. I don't think anyone has called drafting Zeke Elliott a mistake. Fournette has been questioned largely due to availability. Jacobs is more my dark horse, but a real possibility.
