The Democrat Primary Race Is Filling Up

[BugI02]

True, those guys are playing the long game with him. I'm figuring senate, who would he go after?

Don't know your guys that well, but it doesn't have to be in Indiana, either. Can't see him trying it in the sunbelt, and NY or MD or VA would pit Dem against Dem. Lots of LGBTQ in FL, maybe move and go after Rubio? Or move to PA and go after Toomey

Not sure if that would be easier than going after one of the IN seats, but I gather he's not that popular in IN but could move to another state and re-invent himself

I thought 'suspend the campaign' was short-hand for 'keep all the money'

They do keep all the money no matter what anyway, although there are FEC rules for its use, none goes to the candidate personally. In this case Booty man will likely keep it to seed his next campaign or donate to the party or candidates that supported him as payback or pay forward...

Klobuchar is out

I don't know how the matching fund works.

If a mill/billionaire funds his own campaign does the get matching funds from the gullible people that check the presidential fund box on their tax return?

 

[Alpo]

Klob, out.

So, we are down to Joe, Mini-Mike, Pochahontas and Bernie.

I suppose Tulsi is still in it, but she's goin' nowhere.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Bernie must really have them scared.

Yup, some of the finest America has to offer.

 

[Alpo]

As opposed to the beauty you guys picked? LOL. What an embarrassment.

No.

I don't believe anyone has taken matching funds in a while since there's strings attached.

I'm still pulling for Yang.

[Dead Duck]

I'm still pulling for Yang.

Doesn't that hurt?

 

[Alpo]

Bless yer heart.

 

[printcraft]

Doesn't that hurt?

Not if you use both hands.

 

[spencer rifle]

We're on page 404 - how appropriate.

 

[Hatin Since 87]

Truth. The amount of butt hurt he causes is worth voting for again.

 

[Expat]

Bernie must really have them scared.

Rush said he thinks they had Barry himself call Pete and Amy personally to drop out with promises of stuff.
He says the top Dems are really afraid this will be as bad as the losses the Dems suffered in 2010 and 2012.

 

[Alpo]

Tomorrow will be interesting. Many of the names will remain on the ballots.

I expect Warren to drop out soon. We'll be left with the Unholy Trinity: Joe, Mini-Mike and The Burn.

Maybe they’ve learned from watching Trump in 2016. It’s kind of analogous...in a way. You have that one guy who’s way different than the normal, run of the mill candidates running amongst a bunch of typicals. They want to get rid of Bernie by getting rid of all the “reasonable” vote splitters.

It's just proof the Dems realize how truly bat**** crazy their voters are, this day in age. They saw it's mathematically possible for someone with 35% support in their own party to become President, and when you throw in the appeal of free stuff, they knew it's a done deal if they don't act now.


They are not afraid Bernie will lose to Trump. The RC poll average currently shows Bernie beating Trump by the same margin as Biden. They are afraid he will win.

It turns out that there really _is_ a Left version of "NeverTrump."
