B-Man Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 LEGAL INSURRECTION: The Berniefication of the Democratic Party Is Almost Complete. Feinstein loses Cali Democrats, CAP pushes Medicare for All, and the DCCC attacks establishment Democrats By some accounts, Bernie might have had a real shot at the nomination in 2016, had it not been for rampant cheating at the DNC. But now that even the party’s national committee has been co-opted by the hard left, there’s no telling what kind of “democratic” socialist they could nominate for 2020. Or is there…? All Democrats — and their infotainment industry enablers — need to do is not act crazy, and they can’t even manage that. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other result is "Russian hacking." Well after getting Russian help, having a gerrymandered house, the senate being a Conservative institution with all those rural states, you guys can't complain too much.

Because the establish Democrats have done a bang up job over the last decade. People underestimate Bernie like they underestimated Trump. They were both drawing 20k plus crowds and had the entire establishment against them. The difference is the DNC was better at rigging the primaries. If you want to win the white working class back, Bernie is your guy. If you want to continue playing identity politics and screaming how evil Trump is, take your pick of the litter of the other Dem candidates that will run. I just wish Bernie wasn't so fricken old and far to the left on certain issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish Bernie wasn't so fricken old and far to the left on certain issues. Sure, Bernie drew huge crowds of people who like free stuff. Bernie is lucky he got as far as he did because he was able to stop his campaign before he had to explain how any of his agenda was going to work. I still estimate Bernie to be a below standard candidate. And the difference between the Democratic Committee and the Republican Committee in the primaries was that the R's made a promise to run with Trump (if he won the primaries) if he made a promise not to run as a third party candidate (if he lost the primaries). The R's severely underestimated Trump and by the time they figured that out, it was too late. On the other hand, the D's used super delegates, a fawning press corps and rigged tactics to prop up their pre-chosen candidate -- how nice. Bernie, in response, scowled through the D convention, and then after the election he joined the Democratic leadership! What a sellout, phoney-baloney move. He might win the nomination by becoming an insider (or the next chosen one), but he won't ever get to the White House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 CNN reports: [A new CNN] poll finds 54% of registered voters say they back a Democrat in their congressional district, 38% say they back a Republican. That’s a shift in favor of the Democrats since January, bringing their advantage in a hypothetical generic matchup to about the same level as early 2006, a year in which the party won control of both the House and the Senate. This also mirrors their advantage on the question last fall, before a January full of good economic news brought a shift toward more positive numbers for both President Donald Trump and his party. The same poll also found Trump’s approval rating declining — a metric that’s frequently closely tied to his party’s performance in a midterm election year. Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents are more excited (51 percent) about the election than are their GOP (41 percent) counterparts. 1 hour ago, /dev/null said: Carter won in 1976 so there was a wose candidate McGivern is debatable.

Superdelegates all pledged for Clinton turns suppressing voter turnout, scheduled debates during prime time football games, and cable news wouldn't broadcast his rallies because they were all in for Clinton. She used her money and power to prevent more prominent Democrats from running against her (Biden, Warren, Hicklenhooper) which ironically helped Bernie who most of the country never even heard of. It it wasn't rigged, it was certainly clear that Democratic elites made Hillary's nomination as inevitable and preordained as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It it wasn't rigged, it was certainly clear that Democratic elites made Hillary's nomination as inevitable and preordained as possible. You probably know this, but while people on the right are happy to show dysfunction in the DNC ranks, this is good for the Democratic party. The party forced Hillary, and most people know that Trump didn't win so much as Hillary lost. (Conversely, I would argue Obama won more than Romney or McCain lost). So the dysfunction is good as it tends to foster positive change. Unfortunately, your party will need to weed out the tiberius/gatorman/baskin/LA Grants, who simply believe the only reason the Democrats have been getting their asses handed to them is because their message is tilted by an overwhelmingly right-leaning media. We both know that's just small-minded thinking. Hopefully, for the sake of solid competition, debates and discussions, a more rational DNC will emerge instead away from the current far, far, far left elitists of Pelosi, Warren, Shumer. We laugh, but John McCain would make a great Democrat these days. Edited February 27, 2018 by LABillzFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
