B-Man Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 After the mess of Iowa, the chance to break away in New Hampshire, an opportunity to fatally wound Biden before he gets to his South Carolina firewall... ...and they're all talking unity. This crowd couldn't generate excitement in a bordello if they had a case of Tres Agaves tequila and a few dozen little blue pills. They're still talking about turnout. Still. I blame the moderators. And the candidates. And the Democratic party as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 This is the part where the candidates argue over the minutia of their various health care plans which would never make it through Congress as-is anyway. It's the worst part. The best thing I can say is, at least we're getting it out of the way earlier in the debate instead of later. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Tough question to Warren, who promises that if elected she'll launch an even bigger witchhunt against ex-president Trump. Q to Yang: WHY WON'T YOU PURSUE AN EVEN BIGGER WITCHHUNT AGAINST TRUMP??? Because he isn't an idiot. Sanders however, is all on board: WE WILL PURSUE THE PEOPLE'S JUSTICE AGAINST TRUMP AND HIS MENSHEVIK ENABLERS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Buttigieg says he would not have taken out Suleimani Biden also wouldn't have ordered the strike on Suleimani. Next question tried to set the stage for a Pete vs Joe fight over the vote to go to war in Iraq in 2003. Buttigieg isn't taking the bait, but MAN did Biden stand up straight to listen. .

RaoulDuke79 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) This is great entertainment. I see a very common theme. Pandering to minorities to get votes, then do nothing to help them.

keepthefaith Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 So a debate on a Friday night? Very 2016-like. I suppose the schedule makers determined months ago that by now Joe would have a good lead and they didn't want to give Bernie and Liz a chance in front of a large audience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racists want border security. Racists want black assault weapons to oppress other firearms of color. Racists want strong economies. Racists want fair trade deals. Racists want to live in peace, prosperity, and safety. Racists want to keep the racist money they earn by being racists. People who don't vote for Democrats - selfishly wasting their vote for racist self-interest - are just the worst sort of racist actual literal super mecha-Nazis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Trashing America as racist won’t help Democrats beat Trump by John Podhoretz Original Article The Democrats are lucky the February debate in New Hampshire took place on a Friday night, when relatively few were watching — because if they wanted to deliver the message to the working-class white people who delivered the upper Midwest and the presidency to Donald Trump in 2016 that they should stick with him rather than voting blue in November, they did a brilliant job of it. Mayor Pete Takes Heat, Biden Fumbles, Democrats Wink at Socialism in NH Debate by Tyler O´Neil Original Article At the New Hampshire Democratic debate on Friday — who schedules a debate on a Friday?! — the knives came out for former Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D-Church of Social Justice), the winner (?) of the Iowa caucuses. Candidates also took shots at Sen. Bernie Sanders (S-USSR) — the second-place (?) finisher — over Medicare for All. Former Vice President Joe Biden needed a strong showing but fumbled right after the kickoff.The candidates all went after President Donald Trump to one degree or another, repeated tired Democratic mantras against free speech in politics (Citizens United), originalist judges and justices, and the right to life. .

B-Man Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 In the new NPR/Marist poll, Bernie is at 31% and second-place goes to Bloomberg, who gets 19%, enough to put him in tomorrow's debate. Bloomberg needed a 4th poll giving him at least 10% nationally, and now he has it. 3rd and 4th places go to Biden (15%) and Warren (12%), and both of them are moving downward — Biden down 9 points and Warren down 5. Buttigieg and Klobuchar are both below 10% — the cut-off point for qualifying for the debate if you're qualifying on national polls. (You can also qualify for this debate by hitting 12% in 2 polls from SC or Nevada or by having already won a delegate. Buttigieg, Sanders, Warren, Klobuchar, and Biden have all won delegates — 23, 21, 8, 7, and 6, respectively.) High stakes for tomorrow's debate! This is where people will decide if Bloomberg deserves to become the focus of all the stop-Bernie action. If he doesn't, that action will continue to be diffused over 5 candidates, unless one of the other 4 — Buttigieg, Warren, Klobuchar, or Biden — suddenly emerges as the one to back. It's hard to see how anyone other than Bloomberg has a shot at becoming The One, so the anti-Bernie anti-Trumpsters have got to be looking at Bloomberg with an absurd amount of expectation. It's hard to see how he can do well enough in the debate for that to happen. I think the 5 — that is, all the Democratic non-Bernies — will simply try to keep a majority away from Bernie and position themselves to win at the convention. That's 5 months away. And then there are only 3 1/2 months before the election. Democrats need a way to get through the next 5 months without devolving into brand-destroying chaos. Unless Buttigieg, Warren, Klobuchar, and Biden get together and pick one of them to go forward, the answer is going to be Bloomberg. Unless he's awful at that debate. And won't Buttigieg, Sanders, Warren, Klobuchar, and Biden all try to make him look awful?
