The Democrat Primary Race Is Filling Up

[2A_Tom]

I disagree, at least for the moderate candidates. Should those who know they don't have a chance drop out, I imagine most of their support would go to whichever moderate is left.

There's a moderate candidate?

More than one according to that.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Wow. Bernie. WTF?

Now. Normally, with a typical candidate, his ass would be done after something like that. Bernie can get away with it. Probably not with those communities. But the Bernie bros will think the ideology is more important than the other.

When I saw this the other day, all I could think about was that cringe, “you people” Perot moment. That went over like a turd balloon.

Former Obama advisor tells the truth in several ways. Telling how the nominee is really selected and that Bernie is not a Democrat and shin it be welcomed...

“I will say that Bernie is moving the goalpost,” he said. “This is what people need to remember: The Democratic Party has a party. The party decides its nominee. The public doesn’t really decide the nominee. The public gets to vote for president of the United States, but people who are active in the party, who participate in the party, they decide the nominee.”


He continued: “Superdelegates are very influential in the party. Also, delegates are very influential. And just because you’re a pledged delegate for Bernie Sanders or a pledged delegate for Joe Biden doesn’t mean when you get to the convention floor that you’ll stay a delegate for Biden or Sanders. It’s a process.”

Gunn said last year that he never believed Sanders should have been allowed in the primary to begin with since he's not a Democrat.
"He’s never been a Democrat, till it became politically expedient for him to say, 'I’m a Democrat,’" Gunn told the Spectator. "He chose to be an interloper."

Good. But they should get rid of burny now. He is messing up their primary polls.

They were happy to have him vote with them for the last few decades. Now he's "inconvenient".

They have so much hatred for Trump, they want him to lose more than they want to win.
That's why they will lose.

The republicans (I think) relied too much on the assumed dislike of Obama to carry them to victory and lost to his re-election. Hopefully, history will repeat itself.

Yep. If they were seriously thinking about winning - they would find some better candidates.
They seem to think their propaganda media machine can make anybody get votes, and of course they are right - they just won't get enough votes with the current gaggle of candidates.

Sounds about how Jeff Sessions was treated.
...and Romney
...and McCain
...and Sasse
...and Eastwood
...and Bolton
...and McMaster
...and Mattis
...and Kelly
....and on and on and on. Everyone was happy with those folks, until they weren't.

Unless Trump was your first choice during 2016 Republican Primaries, I imagine most other people would think that this line of thought is flawed. Was Trump your first choice?

Key difference. Bernie hasn't changed stripes.

Neither did the others.

Actually Trump was not my first choice but he was among several candidates that could have beat hildebeest. Please elaborate on this perceived flaw you see.

They either changed their stripes or they misrepresented their stripes in the first place.

 

[Alpo]

Well, if the Dow keeps tanking, it won't matter. Trump will be out on his ear and the democrats will be in.

The problem with phantom 401k profits is that people consider losses of phantom profits to be real losses. Trump will be tarred with those losses.

Voting in agreement with the Democrats does not make one a Democrat. If you look at his listing in the Senate it says Independent.

That's not saying much. There pretty much a consensus amongst Republicans prior to Trump's election, that he wasn't one of the "better candidates." If I recall correctly, the phrase "holding my nose" was used often. I imagine that if Bernie wins the nomination, a lot of Democrats will be saying that exact thing. So unless, you were in the minority, and believed Trump to be a "better candidate" - in comparison to other Republicans running, not Clinton - the thought is flawed.

Sounds about how Jeff Sessions was treated.
...and Romney I was never happy with him, I'm sorry to say that I held my nose and voted for him.
...and McCain Even less happy with him, I am ashamed to admit that I voted for him.
...and Sasse Who?
...and Eastwood I was not really enamored with him. Kind of happy when he showed conservative values. Now, meh.
...and Bolton I thought he was better than he seems to be.
...and McMaster Again, who?
...and Mattis I still like him, although we have differing views on some things.
...and Kelly Sorry, who?
....and on and on and on. Everyone was happy with those folks, until they weren't.

The difference being many of those are folks that are or were republicans. Bernie was never a Democrat he was independent, then created his own category or definition to co-opt the Democrat party for his "democrat/Socialist...

Wishful thinking.

Add WET as needed.
