I love voter shaming.  If you don't like our garbage candidates then you are entitled.  Not, maybe we should give people something to vote for.  I mean it's worked so well over the past 8 years.

FL Lawmaker's aide fired after claiming students are actors

 

Benjamin Kelly, who worked as district secretary for Florida State Rep. Shawn Harrison, emailed a Tampa Bay Times journalist with a message that read: "Both kids in the picture are not students here but actors that travel to various crisis when they happen."

Bernie now trying to undercut the Mueller probe, after voting against Russia sanctions... Hm... who else agrees with both of those positions?

 

"Sanders and his former campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, presented a series of self-serving statements that were not accurate, and that track with efforts by Trump and his supporters to undermine the credibility of the Mueller probe."

 

This whole article is - honestly - insane. Definitely worth the read. Especially if you're in the Bernie camp.

Sanders is losing influence...because all the focus is on Biden and even Oprah.

 

Biden would be hard for the progressive side to top. But two establishment figures risk fracturing the party unless they finally compromise and at least go with one for VP.

 

It would be Biden/Harris or Booker, but lots will change. I do feel it needs to be a younger pairing for a candidate nearing 80.

This is garbage. He didn't vote for the Russia sanctions because he was protecting the Iran deal. He must a Russian agent for protecting something Obama did.

 

 

This whole "everyone is a Russian agent" stuff is toxic.

Only when it affects the guy you like, though, right?

Anywho, have us democrats come up with anybody better than Biden? Fully believe he can beat Trump in 2020, which is literally the only thing democrats need to be concerned about when it comes to presidential candidates.

Gillibrand.

Gillibrand.

 

She talks the right game, but just sees to be missing a certain “it” factor, charisma, energy...like the feeling the first time I heard Obama, Mario Cuomo, Bill Clinton speak in person, that they really could be president.

 

Hillary never possessed it, either. Almost like magic, although that term gets way overused, like breaking the internet.

She would lose.

 

Every attack used against Hillary could equally be used against her. They even look enough alike. I've never experienced a more calculating, methodical, power-hungry person than Gillibrand. Don't get me wrong, I think she's great. But she's the epitome of a political opportunist, and has had her sites set on the Presidency from the moment she chose which district in NY to move to, because she wanted to pick the one where she'd have the best chance of winning.

 

I don't think - if you're trying to go for authenticity - she'll do the Democratic Party any favors.

Okay, then who do you and Caufield think would win then? I can’t see Warren beating Trump and I’m not so sure Bernie is the best bet either.

 

Personally, and I know it wouldn’t happen, but a Hickenlooper/Kasich ticket would appeal to me. A purple ticket of sorts.

That wont appeal to Reddy, haha.

 

Biden is the best bet right now, depending on if it’s Trump or possibly Pence or Ryan running.

 

Booker is growing on me, but I don’t know if we can handle 2 years of Obama comparisons.

Harris or Sherrod Brown as VP, maybe. Murphy/CT is growing in stature. Joe Kennedy.

 

I don’t think Kasich would accept running as VP. Would have to be him at top of ticket. Dems would never vote for him due to conservative social issues stance, economics, he has a lot of good points.

I bet Trump runs again, even if he is approaching the normal life expectancy at that point. Pence is even more sick than Trump is. I would love to see another woman run but actually win, which is why I mentioned Gillibrand. The only person I could see winning right now is Biden.

If Hillary was 10 years younger I bet she'd try again. If Trump is the opponent, he's gonna be easily defeated cause of the fact he's despised by just about everybody.

After running terrible campaigns in 2008 and 2016, toast.

Trump will not be easily defeated.

 

Biden's age is such a huge concern, but he's leading in every poll. Otherwise, Booker and Murphy are coming on strong lately, but usually, the nominee is someone we're not even talking about at this point. There are a lot of wildcards out there. *clenches fists and whispers "Martin O'Malley" to himself*

In 2020 I think the Dems have to get someone not so serious about being POTUS to run in the primaries, and just be like Trump, only fire away at Trump. Take all the potshots. He's easy to rile up. Why don't Dems take advantage of this? Make him go off the deep end. Take the shots. Talk about Trump U, Stormy Daniels, Russians, his stupid offspring, all the hits. Call his lackeys president Jared or president Kelly or whoever is around then. Make fun of Ivanka speaking whisper. Talk about his fake marriage. His admitted sexual abuse. Everything. He. Can't. Take. It. It's low and dirty, but enough playing fair.
