Republican Primary Candidates:  “Your father killed JFK and you’re a lying piece of shit!  Yeah, well you are an unhinged moron unfit to hold office!  Oh really?  Well, at least we both agree that Jeb is a lying globalist RINO cuck who wants illegal immigrants to take over the country!”

Republican voters:  “They all seem fine, except Jeb, because fuck that lying globalist RINO cuck.  That pussy just stood there and talked about decorum and foreign policy and shit and didn’t even dispute it.  Sackless wonder!”

Democrat Primary Candidates:  “I don’t mean to step on any toes here.  I think Elizabeth Warren is the best - she’s like if someone combined Abraham Lincoln and Mother Teresa.  I love her more than my own mother.  But, if I may be so bold, since I am running after all, I think you should vote for me because I would be a good President, too.   I say that with all due respect - please forgive me.”

Democrat voters:  “Who the fuck is this bitch taking shots at Liz?  How dare him!  Of all the dirty tricks ... what nerve this motherfucker has to try to get us to actually vote for him.  And you know what?  He’s a phony, too!  As soon as he started getting donations, he was all like, “Hey, you should consider voting for me.  I’m the best candidate.  I’d like to win.”  Fuck you and your Koch brothers money!  I’m not voting if you win! Justice for Liz!”

 

Stop clutching your pearls about Buttigieg simply existing and campaigning against other candidates.  He’s not even going to win, which makes all the bitching about him even more peculiar.

Lol, pretty good analysis.

For me, I wanted Pete to be so much more.  Perhaps that’s my fault for having high expectations of a 37 year old mayor from South Bend.  My angst with him is mostly out of disappointment.  He could have been a forceful leader among the democrats and taken the party somewhere.  Maybe he still can, only time will tell.

In retrospect he might have been a better DNC chair than Tom Perez?

New SC poll has Biden +20 at 37% to Warren 17% - Bernie 8 - Harris 7 - everyone else under 5

Black voters go Biden 46 - Harris 10 - Warren 9 - Sanders 8

Overall - Only 1/3rd of voters are very sure of their choice.  Nearly half might change their mind.  But Black voters are 41% sure and 44% might change mind.  

I love how South Carolina is Joe Biden’s stronghold now.  How is South Carolina going to look when Binden comes in 4th in Iowa and 3rd in NH?

In a strange twist of fate, someone called Pete to ask if he would drop out of DNC race so Keith Ellison would have an easier path to beat Tom Perez.

That someone was Bernie Sanders.

This poll has been notoriously anti-Warren on a Rasmussen level so her at 15% is a win.  Last two times (since August) it had her at 11 and 10 respectively.

Biden was at 25 and Bernie was at 20 in early August Reuters poll.

If that happens he will slowly collapse like a flan in a cupboard.

Fuck yes, this is the Warren puff piece I’ve been waiting for.

Hilarious premise.  

Sure, you’re planning to save America from neo-Nazi corporatist fascism BUT WHERE IS YOUR FREE SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM?!? HUH?!?

#11065

As an aside from Harris' request, it is interesting she mentions Alex Jones. Jones being named as the defendant in the Sandy Hook parents defamation case. The President has immunity from being sued in a similar fashion, correct? Guess it was never imagined that there was no bottom...

I wonder how many of that came from the gameshow prize stunt at the debate that may or not even be legal.

This might sound macabre, but if Bernie was going to go out, fighting for working folks in a political campaign is how I’d imagine it happen.  Dude will literally fight to the death. 

#11081

LOL Williamson beats out Beto, Castro, Klobuchar, Booker, Steyer and Gabbard? 

Cancel your campaign.  Resign in shame or just go back home and never be heard from again.  That's embarrassing.

From the Monmouth poll asked of all voters:

FB2B1CFD-75EF-409A-BABB-C2E683DDB6F6_zps

Some takeaways:

1.  This is the most HATED I’ve seen Trump in a poll.  I’ve never seen him crack 50% in “very unfavorable”

2.  Warren still has some name recognition gap to make up with 8% saying they’ve never heard of her.  

3. Buttigieg has a name recognition gap too but for a Mayor of South Bend that was unknown to 99% of the population nine months ago, he’s been insanely effective at reaching the population with only 21% saying they’ve never heard of him.

My takeaway:

No one really like anyone that much running for President in 2020. 

#11087

If the democrats wanted to play dirty in the general election, they’d shadow message that Trump is a crypto-Democrat bankrupting the country and Elizabeth Warren is actually a Republican Trojan horse sent to take down the deep state establishment. 

Half of Trump’s base and the Qtard conspiracy theory mouth breathers would eat that shit up.

#11092

They should elevate the candidates by polling. Joe and Liz really high up, all the way down to Tulsi and Castro basically underneath the stage.

Because it’s the most TOPICAL issue FACING THE FUCKING COUNTRY 

They are running for President in 2020. They are talking to voters about why they would be the best candidate.

And they've all made statements about impeachment already.  Just watch cable news to get your fill.

Fuck that.  These people are campaigning on Trump being a threat to the country.  The debate gives them an opportunity to make the case to remove Trump now or wait until the election.  If you actually cared about getting Trump out of office, you’d want that topic to come up in the debate because it’s an opportunity to move the needle more with public opinion. 

A prime time debate can influence public opinion WAY more than a Pelosi press conference.

It gives them a chance to frame the impeachment issue in a thoughtful way. It’s also an opportunity to educate the low info public on why impeachment is happening.  The more direct messaging from these professional messengers the better.

Their job as presidential candidates is to win the GE in 2020 and lead this country post-Trump. 

As BT has said, they are all pro-impeachment outside of Gabbard. Talking about it at the debate will just be a contest of who can put out the best one-liner to appease the #Resisters. No thanks.

She did change her mind, eventually.

Otherwise, everyone up there should be like YEAH FUCK THAT GUY.  Now let's talk about how Republicans want to rip away your healthcare.

Really?!?  I suppose you’d prefer they talk about abortion, guns, or socialism?  Because that’s what the debate will be about otherwise.  The front runner has voluntarily decided to make the entire election about Donald Trump.  He should absolutely be able to make his case in light of the new information that has emerged.  It would be negligent not to.
