Democratic 2020 Presidential Primary Thread
Taro T replied to snafu's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
If Abrams runs for VP, who will fill in for her as Not-the-Governor of Georgia while she's fulfilling her duties as Not-the VP? That job is going to carry tremendous responsibilities with it and only a true glutton for punishment would be willing to fill such a demanding post. -
Least offensive is probably accurate. But the fact that to the elite, he's "one of us" which goes along with his 50 year "I ride the train back to Delaware every night, because I'm one of the common people" schtick which worked fairly well with voters is IMHO a far larger part of why they've coalesced around him. Really doubt though that he'll be able to keep the schtick up now that the veneer has come off. So, it seems that decision will work about as well as Wile E. Coyote's schemes in the long run.

Everything Joe Biden--Gaffes, Miscues, Touching, Songs

Well, the Dems want nothing to do with spending a weekend at Bernie's, so ... -
Well, you hit on the 2nd one. Both Pete and Amy suspended their campaigns. Heard Pete was endorsing Biden. Haven't heard who Amy endorses, but would assume it's Biden.

This moron is about the right age for it. Did he NEVER switch to ABC on Saturday mornings at the top of the hour for "School House Rock?" No More Kings

The look in that guy's eyes is great, it says "shut the #### up, it is NOT a onesie!

Absolutely. As KRC stated, they'll frame it as simply rolling back prior tax cuts, but they'd definitely try to raise taxes significantly more than that. -

The best parts are the comments accusing her of being an anti-Semite for calling Bernie cheap but totally neglecting that she said Bloomberg paid for all the meals in the restaurant on that date. How DARE she stereotype all Jews as being cheap. -

So, somehow between 1988 and today he morphed from a plagerizer into Bill Walsh? We invented the forward pass in San Francisco. -

And they conveniently neglect how the most recent country to swap from capitalism to socialism went to hell in under 20 years. If the system was so great, and failure was always due to poor implementation, shouldn't the country that had 80+ years worth of examples to look towards have gotten it right? Presuming of course, that there is an actual right way to switch from capitalism to authoritarianism. Why did Venezuela get it so wrong if there was a right way to do it? -
Romney was winning? What credible poll predicted that? He had momentum heading into the final week, but as soon as Sandy hit & he stopped campaigning for a couple of days, the result was set.

Though Bernie might be the "benevolent" version of it, he IS communism. And whoever follows him won't be nearly as benevolent. And nobody considers him to be Hitler. His comparable would be Stalin (or maybe Trotsky).

Not sure if it was the last time, but CBS called Florida for Gore before the panhandle was done voting. Always wondered if that suppressed or goosed the votes for W. Either way, the call was premature and incorrect.

Realized that. Thus the FTFY. (Which, possibly for the 1st time in the history of the internet wasn't meant in a sarcastic manner.) -

What have the Democrats done in the past Four years
Taro T replied to B-Man's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Why do you want them to keep going after the way of the dodo? If they succeed in continuing on this path, 2 of the very likely outcomes of that are both bad: 1. Somehow the loons like AOC actually get power; or 2. Conservative POLITICIANS get the sort of majority that allows them to become serious grifters (assuming for the moment that they currently aren't) which isn't good for anybody but THEIR cronies. Would suppose there's also the possibility that a 3rd party fills the void where slightly left of center politicians had been, but until that happens we get 1 or 2. -

That part is clear. Still have no forking idea what he was trying to convey unless it was the painfully obvious statement on its face. Which seems to be a painfully silly thing to say. (Which seems par for this election's course.) -

WTF is that even supposed to mean? (Other that what appears to be obvious that it claims 45 like steak well done and Bloomberg likes it the way it should be prepared. In which case who give a ####? How does that possibly matter as a qualification to be the President?) -
Agreed. But at least a story alleging the Russians want Bernie Sanders to win makes sense. The guys pining about the breakup of the USSR might understandably want to commiserate over a bowl of borscht with the guy that went to Moscow for his honeymoon. Them WANTING 45 to win in 2020 doesn't make any sense when compared to his actual actions and policies relating to Russia.

The Roger Stone Case
Taro T replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Not sure that 40 months isn't too long a stay in prison for lying to Congress but 2 months is IMHO definitely too short. Wondering if those cheering this sentence won't end up having some remorse about it should Durham's efforts ever actually start resulting in indictments. -

So, why wasn't Canada in the family picture? Was it because it's the bastard child of the next door neighbor's house keeper? Just asking for a friend.
