The Democrat Primary Race Is Filling Up

[nonobaddog]

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.

I think I see what you are saying.
I disagree that there was a consensus among Republicans about Trump. He had a lot of appeal because he was not a DC lifer. He could not be bought and at that time that flew very well. He was a good candidate. Don't be fooled by only remembering what the leftist media said about him. They were the ones making fun of his outsider status and putting words in Republicans mouths and they got it all wrong as usual.
Certainly there were those unhappy with the choice - That has always been true and always will be and really says nothing. It was highly stressed and over-hyped by your favorite propaganda sources.

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.

Do you honestly believe voters whose primary concern is their 401k will be ignorant enough about how they economy works to think putting a socialist in the White House will be better for their portfolio?

Happens all the time.

"[our macroeconomic / my personal economic] situation is bad. We need a different president to fix it."

I think everybody knows the market is reacting (overreacting) to the corona virus outbreak mostly and a little bit to burny's socialism.
The future timeline depends a lot on how the virus outbreak goes.
People that are concerned about their 401k's have good reasons to support Trump if they want them to recover.

Sure, but traditionally the candidates vying to be that "different president" aren't running on a platform of burning the economy to the ground.

Wishful thinking.

Add WET as needed.

Far be it from me to want to see the DOW go down. I don't enjoy economic misery.

But, if it does tank, I won't have to "wish" for anything. Trump will be out on his big orange ear.

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.

Jeff Sessions was more than just inconvenient - he either purposely, or stupidly, sabotaged Trump with his decision to recuse himself from the biggest coup attempt and political fraud ever in this country's history. If he was going to go that route, he should have just freakin resigned. I can't imagine his motives, and now have zero respect for the man. And he wants to stay in politics by becoming an Alabama senator again. Screw him.

Is CornPop running yet?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

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?

Yes.

 

[MCgrease08]

Is CornPop running yet?

What if I told you that as a figment of Joey's imagination, Corn Pop has been running this whole time?

YES! Most people have no idea how 401ks work. They just know to put money in them. If people understood the market, there would be the run on money that’s currently occurring.

So that's the "Other Biden" I keep hearing about.

As far as voting for Trump in 2016 it wasn't a question of holding my nose and voting against the alternative. It was also because I favored his platform. Now if Trump ran on the kind of radical things that some of the Democrat candidates are running on I would not have voted for him and I doubt very much that he would've been the nominee.

I think I would disagree if I knew what that meant.

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."

That's how it used to be, until Teddy Roosevelt pushed the idea of the people selecting the candidates that would run. Prior to that political party bosses picked the candidates that they wanted to run.

And then you wake up all sticky and Trump is still favored to win
