  Yep.  Otherwise she would have had her "consultation" to pull out Monday like Mayor Pete and Klobuchar had with the DNC leadership.  I wonder how all the Bernie Bros are feeling this morning?

she was there to disrupt Bernie. however, after seeing what her numbers were for last night, she is not viable. she only siphoned off 12 delegates, not what the establishment would have liked for sure.

Pretty sure Biden could explain anything better than idiot Trump can.

 

For instance, he can explain who his wife is, and who his sister is. Give him enough chances and he'll nail that trivia!

Anchor: "We now take you live to a basement in a town much like your own where we have exclusive footage of a Bernie Bro in his natural habitat" 

 

Reporter: "Be very quiet, we don't want to spook this majestic creature." 

 

*Camera pans across poorly lit, half finished basement to a desk in the corner- blue light from a monitor casts a shadow against the lone figure sitting at the desk. Just above his head you can barely make out the Che Guevara poster hanging prominently above the desk. We can't see it from this angle, but the matching Vladimir Lenin poster hangs on the inside of the closet door where his Dominoes pizza uniform shirts are piled in various states of unwash. The 31 year old, sits hunched over a desktop computer with two screens. One screen has a paused game of fortnite where we can see his avatar (a rather busty, scantily clad female character) in the middle of some mission or another. The other screen displays twitter. This is where his focus is. He scans the screen, muttering to himself over and over, his voice and exasperation grows with each sentence.*

Bro's mom: "Okay Honey. I'll tell him you're not feeling well and it's not safe for you to drive." 

 

*The door begins closing at the top of the stairs." 

 

Bro: "Wait, mom!" 

 

Bro's mom: "Yes sweetie?"

 

Bro: "Can you go get me some more mountain dew? I'm all out."

 

Bro's mom: "Of course darling."

I want to start by thanking — I call them friends because, you know, you develop friendships and relationships when you’re in battle and war much more so than in a normal situation.

We’ve gone through more than any president or administration, and really, I say for the most part, Republican congressmen, congresswomen and Republican senators, we’ve done more than any administration in the first few years. You look at all of the things we’ve done. I watched this morning as they tried to take credit for the stock market from — let me tell you, if we didn’t win, the stock market would have crashed.

The market was going up a lot before the election because it looked like we had a good chance to win. Then it went up tremendously from the time we won the election to the time we took office, which was November 8 to January 20, and that’s all our credit. And leading up to that point was our credit because there was hope, and one of the reasons the stock market has gone up so much in the last few days is people think we’re doing so well, they liked the State of the Union speech.

It really is, it’s a true honor given, and making the State of the Union speech, I was with some people that have been around, they’ve been all over the world. A highly sophisticated person said, you know, no matter where you go in the world, it doesn’t make any difference. There was nothing like what I witnessed tonight, the beauty, the majesty of the chamber, the power of the United States, the power of the people in this room.

Really an amazing evening. I don’t think there was anything like that anywhere in the world. You can go to any other country, any other location, any other place. It’s the beauty of everything. It’s what it represents and how it represents our country. I want to start by introducing some of the people that are here. I know some are going to be left out, but they worked so hard.

And this is really not a news conference, it’s not a speech, it’s not anything, it’s just we’re sort of — it’s a celebration because we have something that just worked out. It worked out. We went through hell unfairly. Did nothing wrong. Did nothing wrong. I’ve done things wrong in my life, I will admit. Not purposely, but I’ve done things wrong. But this is what the end result is. [Cheers and applause]

We can take that home, honey, maybe we’ll frame it. It’s the only good headline I’ve had in the Washington Post. Every paper is the same, does anybody have them, because they’re all like that and I appreciate that. Some of the people here have been incredible warriors, they’re warriors. And there’s nothing from a legal standpoint. This is a political thing, and every time I say this is unfair, let’s go to court, they say, sir, you can’t go to court, this is politics. And we were treated unbelievably unfairly, and you have to understand we first went through Russia, Russia, Russia. It was all bull####.

Super Tuesday exposes an age divide, a bad sign for Democrats in the general election

by Philip Klein

 

Original Article

 

Super Tuesday results have exposed the dramatic divide among age groups in their support for Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, which could be a bad sign for Democrats in the general election, no matter who the nominee is.

 

Simply put: Exit polls have shown that Biden's surge is being driven by overwhelming support among older voters, while Sanders has dominated among younger voters.

This is funny. Trump literally did this line of argument at one of his sick rallies and now you guys parrot the same line of attack. Pretty sure Biden could explain anything better than idiot Trump can. Trump can only insult people and lie about his own record. 

Tell us! 

Biden can’t insult anyone because he doesn’t remember who he was talking about. The man has dementia and there’s almost no chance he defeats Trump in November. Thank goodness for that.

Biden will be our next president, most likely. 

 

Trump will be facing jail time

Oh, you'll be seeing a lot more ads that he pays for, just not ads to promote him for president.

Reminds me of the movie Maverick with Jody Foster and Mel Gibson, the Russian prince and his desire to hunt "Indians".  Mini Mike hit his target.

Might want to re read that first sentence of my response ;) 

 

Being a little bit disingenuous, but okay.

 

You've railed for months and months that Biden wouldn't be the nominee with little to no wiggle room.

 

You were very, very wrong... saying "I underestimated Joe in early races" is just twisting the narrative as you tend to do.

 

No, you totally misjudged him... not merely "underestimating" him in "the early races.

 

But to each his own...

 

I'm sure you're just nervous about November is all... and I understand why  :thumbsup:

Incorrect. 

 

I've railed for months that Joe can't win the general. I've said repeatedly the primary is irrelevant because the DNC can rig it if they wish (and they are). 

 

Hence our bet.

Total and utter bullcrap.

 

I won't post the post from you I reposted here a few times already, but just Saturday you said Joe had "No chance," and then went on to gleefully asking what excuses I'd make for him yesterday when he had a poor performance.

 

You've posted crap like that for months dude.

 

Own it.

 

You've been lied to for so long that you're dishing them out yourself now.

Those type of backroom deals have been done for years but they’re usually not so obvious.  I’m actually impressed the DNC was able to coalesce that quickly.  Unfortunately, they picked the football equivalent of Rex Grossman to try and win the Super Bowl.

In all honesty, do you believe that Joe gets even close to these numbers if Pete and Amy weren't strong-armed to get out?   That's a pretty big shift in the odds from Saturday.   

 

I'll slide past the conspiracy theory of Pete and Amy being strong-armed out first to answer the question.

 

No, Joe doesn't get those numbers with them in the race.  That was why I said even Saturday that Sanders would win the nomination because there was too much fracturing of the moderate vote.  But unlike 2016 when you had only 2 viable candidates almost the ENTIRE race, this Democratic primary has had 4 or 5 relatively viable candidates.

 

But notice that one of the ridiculous narratives you guys have been pushing over here is being shot down and has been since the primaries started?

 

You guys keep saying the Democratic party has shifted overwhelmingly too far to the left.  That's clearly not the case as most of the Democratic voters are relatively moderate.  It might be a more silent majority, but it's still the majority.

 

Amy and Pete drew moderate voters in, along with Bloomberg.  Naturally the answer of whether Biden would have done as well if Pete and Amy were still in is No.

 

But neither of them had a chance at this point.  There were no longer any indication they had anything other than a longshot to win the Democratic nomination unless their goal was to take it to a Brokered Convention and further divide the party.  Doing that lowers the chances of beating Trump.

 

I really, really think you guys have just been wildly underestimating how much beating Trump in November is motivation in itself.

i don't know that i would be taking a victory lap here.

 

i think the real takeaway is that... you guys are so desperate and delusional, you are voting for a man who obviously has dementia. what does that say? are you guys on the cusp of full blown dementia yourselves as well? i think a  case could be made....

 

I'll repeat what I said to you before.

 

Biden is more mentally fit than Trump.

 

 

Honest question:

 

You're over here chatting with everyone all the time.  The narrative has very clearly been that the Democratic party has shifted so far to the left, will inevitably elect Sanders the Socialist, ensuring Trump gets into office.  In the span of 24 hours that narrative has been pretty much flipped on its head with moderate Democratic voters across the country getting out to vote... outnumbering those "nutty Socialists."

 

Can you yet acknowledge that it's looking more and more possible that the thing that will primarily get voters out in November is to vote against Trump and the more moderate the candidate (Biden) the more Independents will be in that camp?

Incorrect. Read the thread. And remember our bet and how it evolved ;) 

 

It evolved because you kept conflating the two positions. 
 

Joe can’t win. He has no chance. 

 

Not incorrect and this isn't just limited to that thread and our bet.

 

This isn't about that thread or that bet, which is about the winner of the election in November.  You're in this forum in almost every thread talking about almost every other issue, including the Democratic Primaries.

 

And you are CONSTANTLY emphasizing how Biden is done in the context of the Democratic nomination.  Here's just one instance that you seem to need reminding of:

On 3/1/2020 at 8:03 AM, Deranged Rhino said:

 

He's got no chance. 

 

None. 

 

Tuesday will be fun to watch you come back with a new story about how you never were that high on Ol' Joe. :lol: 

 

 

Are you seriously this fixated on not being wrong?

 

You were wrong.  

 

It's okay.  It happens.

 

Maybe now that you've had a moment to practice being so obviously wrong, you'll be ready to suck it up and deal with it in November.

You're underestimating how weak a candidate Biden is.  At least Hillary was lucid.  At least Hillary didn't vote to join NAFTA.  There's a massive distaste for the baby boomer generation DNC politics by people under 40 in the Democratic base.  Less than 5% of those under 30 voted for Biden in CA I believe.  You're just not going to get the turnout or bring in new voters.  This election is a perfect time to send a message to the DNC and give them the middle finger and say "I'm not voting. You guys gave us four more years of Trump."  You better change the way you do business or you'll keep losing to a candidate that doesn't even know Kansas fricken City is in Missouri.  PHUCCCK.

At the time of the article.

 

11.5M total votes yesterday if you toss Tulsi's 84K. (All figures rounded) 

 

Biden 4.5M

Bernie 3.67M

Warren 1.63M

Mini Mike 1.7M

 

That's roughly 54% moderate, 46% socialist.

 

Yeah. The Dem party is pretty far left. A moderate Dem 20 years ago would not recognize the moderates now.

You're underestimating how influential anti-Trump sentiment can be getting people out to vote.

 

I know people like to point out how it didn't work with Bush, but hatred for Bush paled in comparison to hatred for Trump.

 

You said yourself you'll go out and vote for Biden if he's the candidate.

 

He's not the perfect candidate, but he's safe.  His VP pick is going to be key as well.  I really think it'll be either Kamala or maybe Stacey Abrams.

 

I know the conspiracy theorists are saying it'll be Hillary.  I doubt it. 

 

Joe and the Democratic party knows Joe is going to be in office for just one term and whoever is VP will then have to be able to maintain some enthusiasm to win the vote and take the reins.

 

I think you spend too much time over here and the demonization of Joe is really rubbing off on you.  There doesn't need to be enthusiasm for the Democratic candidate.  It just needs to be someone who isn't so damn polarizing that the Independents still vote for him.  That's Joe, not Bernie.

You work in an industry that is far left and likely surround yourself with only politically like minded friends who all watch the same news outlets and believe the same thing. We see that as well. Most of us here would be disappointed but not shocked if Biden won. I'm pretty sure you and many of your friends would need emotional support animals for a while.

I'll be just fine.  Thank you though.

 

Besides, I don't need emotional support animals if I have a good bottle of Single Malt Scotch.
