Beto O'Rourke, Gov. Steve Bullock, former Rep. John Delaney, former Gov. John Hickenlooper, Rep. Tim Ryan and author Marianne Williamson. July 31 Former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Kamala Harris, Sen. Cory Booker, former HUD Secretary Julián Castro, entrepreneur Andrew Yang, Sen. Michael Bennet, Mayor Bill de Blasio, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Gov. Jay Inslee. This is a good draw for Buttigieg as he can make the pitch that medicare for all/free college/forgiving student debt will cost too much standing next to Warren and Sanders. He can paint himself as the moderate if he plays his cards right. I remember rooting for Carson to have as much time as possible to talk and I want the same for Williamson. It's a really bad draw for Biden who I'm assuming will be between Harris and Booker. It will be a similar dynamic when Cruz and Rubio vivaciously attacked Trump who was sandwiched between them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 3 hours ago, B-Man said: Poll about registered voters’ #1 issue and opinion of economy signals BAD news for Dems in 2020 I'm dumbfounded that immigration is the #1 issue for registered voters. Politicians have really done a bang up job creating this immigrant boogeyman. I live in an area that uses migrant workers and the conditions they live in along with the work they do for the pay they receive are not high demand jobs. Couple that with a low unemployment rate and it boggles my mind that it is the #1 issue for voters. Not the endless war/conflicts we embroil ourselves in other countries Not medicare for all (my #1) Nope some immigrant coming to take ma job Also some information about the poll: The NBC News|SurveyMonkey national poll was conducted July 2-16 among 13,553 registered voters with an error estimate of plus or minus 1.2 percentage points. Among the 5,548 Democrat and Democratic-leaning registered voters, the margin of error is plus or minus 2 percentage points. So any of the 3 (immigration, health care, or jobs) could be the top as they are within the error margin, and only 41% of the respondents were democrat or democrat leaning, is it surprising the poll results didn't line up with democratic ideologies?

Does anyone know where I can place a bet? lol Prior to 2016 I was a left leaning liberal (as my posting history proves). Many factors forced me to reassess my own positions/views/understandings, but watching the primary process be so blatantly manipulated in real time was one of the bigger ones. I say that only to dispel the stereotype that left leaning thinking isn't popular down here. Despite the thorns, which are prickly at times down here in the dungeon, PPP largely welcomes all opinion/thoughts/commentary so long as it's backed up with logic and reason. So I hope you hang around, even when we may disagree 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly Ohio (they reelected Sherrod Brown) and Indiana as well. Hillary and Trump had favorability ratings around 40% at the time. Sanders was around 55%. The DNC deserved what they got.

You’re just not used to this probably. This has been happening for years. She’s just the first pres candidate to follow the youth. I spent the spring and early summer visiting colleges. Nearly every tour guide did this. “Hi I’m Sarah and I use she/her pronouns.” The first time was totally off putting. By the 10th time, I was just hoping someone would make my older brain work hard to match their pronoun preference with my assumption. Alas no one did that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
