Democrat Debates

Michelle? If 44 isn't exposed beforehand they'd win pretty big with her and there's no way he'd last a full term. 

 

Particularly if he nominates Michelle.

Just Admit It, Democrats: You Want to Lose Next Year.

 

 

If Democratic Party leaders aren’t re-watching last week’s debate in Houston, they should. If they have watched it and aren’t freaking out over what they see, it’s fair to ask  whether they actually want Donald Trump to win a second term. That session was a debacle for the party and the field: Nearly three tortuous hours of tails wagging dogs, petty sniping, and a lack of vision all the Lasik surgery in the world couldn’t cure.

 

The knock from Republicans, Never-Trumpers, and moderate Democrats is that most of the 2020 candidates are too far to the left and out of touch. Last week’s display confirmed it. This was a definitive example of a party controlled by its fringe elements, preferring purity over victory.

 

Houston featured a grab bag of turn-offs for independent voters.

 

First, the elitist policy prescriptions put forth by most of the candidates have the dubious distinction of being out of step with most Americans while also being hugely expensive.

 

Next, the field displayed an inability to understand that their words will reach the ears of all who will vote next November, not just those that show up to snowy Iowa churches in February.

The thing is, since it's primary season they are all lurching left to curry favor from the progressive wing, for which could provide a small advantage in the primary polls. Whether or not they believe most of the crap they are spewing is almost besides the point.

In the general election, they will make a hard turn back towards the center, hoping to get the moderate voter who hasn't been paying much attention to what they were saying before. The media will help them appear more centrist and won't hold them accountable to what they said previously, because #orangeman bad.

There's a chance we're in "But this time it's different!" territory now, though.  There's a certain set of progressives that simply won't show up at the polls if the candidate swerves centrist this time - just as a set didn't show up for Hillary when the DNC ***** over Bernie in 2016.  But this set is already disenchanted with the entire system, and would be happy to burn it down to get what they "deserve," so not showing up for an election they fundamentally do not believe is honest or representative of them isn't much of a stretch.

 

The Democrats may truly have a tiger by the tail this time, and be unable to let go.

Of course they will try to turn back to the center for the general, but with all the stupidshit that they've said is thrown back at them via video they'll have a difficult time in doing so.

The thing you guys are missing is that ALL of the remaining candidates have gone left. You can’t put a sheet of paper between ANY of them. I have no idea how their primary voters are going to make decision between any of them.

Simple.  They'll vote who they're told to vote for.

SNL Hits Nail On The Head With DNC Debate Skit

 

There aren’t a whole lot of laughs coming out of SNL’s political sketches these days. One has the impression the writers are a bit more demoralized than usual. With the constant drumbeat of hysteria from the Left, it’s easy to believe they simply don’t have much feeling left in their funny bones.

 

But every once in a while the crew of the long-running sketch show can’t ignore the news cycle and actually come up with something funny. On Saturday’s episode, SNL took on the lates round of Democrat debates, and some of the impressions are spot on. Most notable is surprise guest alumni Maya Rudolph, who does a send-up of Kamala Harris that is simultaneously eerily accurate and gloriously over the top.

That was glorious. Everyone should take the 10 minutes to watch this at some point. A perfect rendition of how each candidate is crazier than the next.

If SNL, who forgot what funny is decades ago, is doing this now, the left is in even worse shape than I had imagined.

It really needs John Belushi as a "Samurai Candidate," though.  Or even a classic Conehead.

His campaign wanted Abrams for this reason. She rejected their offer. It has to be a woman of color to appease the racist identity politics lovers who comprise the progressive left — Harris won’t do it. Not sure there’s anyone who would.

Well, 1/1024th WoC.

 

But really, how can we quantify her lifelong struggles in dealing with her non-white racial identity as a very, very, very, very, very small fraction, when her parents had to elope because blah blah blah?!?

The reason right wingers watch SNL is because they want an excuse to be outraged

 

The reason left wingers watch SNL is for positive self reinforcement

 

Nobody watched SNL because it's funny
