Reddy Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) 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. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/21/b...rference-420528 Edited February 23, 2018 by Reddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you're in the Bernie camp. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/21/b...rference-420528 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.

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.

Heads22 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 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.

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.

Reddy Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 QUOTE (New Era on South Side @ Feb 24, 2018 -> 12:58 AM) Gillibrand. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited February 24, 2018 by New Era on South Side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

The Beast Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 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.

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* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
