we make our minds up on the suitability of a candidate, or a job applicant, in about 15 seconds and that's basically it for eternity

 

some studies have found 2 seconds is just as reliable to make this determination.

Maybe the Dems should quit while they’re ahead.  They keep talking and Trump’s numbers go up.

RITUAL SUICIDE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

 

The Democrats’ race to the left continues, as Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren introduce “racial equity” plans.

Ms. Warren and Senator Kamala Harris of California both used the occasion — the annual culture and music festival sponsored by Essence magazine, which caters to black women — to introduce major new proposals intended to address racial disparities, including in wealth and homeownership.
***
Ms. Harris announced a plan aimed at reducing the racial gap in homeownership, including $100 billion to help black families and individuals buy homes in historically redlined communities, where banks systematically denied them loans.

Redlining has been illegal for how many decades now? And the idea that the federal government knows better than banks who should get loans, and at what rates, is not only absurd, it was the principal cause of the 2008 financial collapse.

The money would help cover down payments and closing costs for up to four million families or individuals, providing home buyers with up to $25,000 each.

From Obamaphones to Harrishouses. Obviously the government can’t say openly that it is discriminating against whites, Asians and Hispanics by offering $25,000 only to black individuals or families. Harris’s transparent workaround is to limit eligibility to “historically red-lined communities.” I have no opinion, offhand, on whether that dodge could pass constitutional muster, but in any event, there is zero chance of it being enacted.

 

Mrs. Warren has a different set of panders:

Even the oddsmakers got 2016 wrong

 

It shifted dramatically during the night

 

what people put $$ on is a billion times more important than giving an opinion on a biased question

yeah, once the raw numbers started rolling in is when people noticed something wasn't going according to plan

 

Pennsylvania delayed the result for hours after the polls were closed, that was the last attempt to rig it for Hillary.

Bye, Joe. 

 

He apologized (again) yesterday... a bad sign for a candidate in the lead. 

 

Joe has zero chance to win, as I've been saying for over a year. Zilch. 

 

He’s the only one of the 20 who has even 1 percent Presidential chops

 

figure the Dems know it’s already a snowball’s chance so they will just be babyish and try to ruin it all?

i kinda wonder if the Dems have written off 2020 and are just using it to see how far left they can go ahead of 2024

The most important part of that poll is the final question.  The word socialism doesn't seem to attach to Biden which explains the discrepancy between his lead and how close everyone else is.  Or.....Jeff Bezos doesn't want a president that isn't cozy to big businesses.

Which makes me wonder why they would let anyone except Biden (who is an old white guy aka a throw-away candidate) get the nomination.

I've thought Kamala was the "chosen one" since she declared. Why "waste" her on 2020 though?
