More importantly, the fake populism that Trump employs is fucking disgusting.Quote:

Of course if I just would have left all of my various and sundry 401ks alone over the years I'd probably have $1m-$1.5 by now but I didn't so I don't.

So you know as I do that Druff’s political analysis is some of the best stuff on this site and will keep things fun during the next year.
I don’t think he was trolling when he stated 76 yr old Biden is the Democrats best bet in 2020. Maybe that’s every Republicans most fervent wish.

Oh I am looking forward to it. He was not trolling . This is the front runner and polling shows the only one with a chance of beating Trump. Never happen but that's what the current analysis states.
"Poor kids are just as bright, just as talented, as white kids."

Whoever the nominee is Warren is the likely VP .
Trump is going to make the debates a blood bath for whoever gets the nod and it will be quality entertainment.

Average American voter is dumb as a box of rocks, whomever is most likable always wins.
That being said:
Booker is a vegan...no one voting for that
Warren...old lady librarian lookalike...nope
Gay dude...nope
Black lady...no
Best shots are Biden and Beto...even though Beto is a dolt...they are both affable.
The “left-biased” mainstream media is sooo treating Bernie Sanders fairly... NOT!
Sanders is polling in second place behind Biden in Iowa, increased the most in the polls since the second pais of debates, yet he is repeatedly being maligned, misreported, and even outright ignored by the corporate media giants.

There's plenty to attack the MSM about. But this argument I keep seeing comparing the two shooters is just stupid.

America has already elected a Black candidate for president, and Harris is half Asian Indian and even lighter skin toned that obama, so her being ‘black’ is not an issue for the general election.Quote:

Beto’s only shot at being the Veep nom is if eother Harris or Warren are on the top of the ticket.
True dat.Quote:

(Mumbles is already a lost cause.)
This "X candidate beats incumbent in a hypothetical election" argument is so flawed, and is meaningless.
The problem is that, until the general election season starts, Candidate X (in this case, Bernie) hasn't been tested via the rigors of a general election. In Bernie's case, he's only been the subject of gentle attacks from his own party, and those usually come in the form of, "Yeah Bernie, we agree with you, but you're trying to change too much too fast, and it's not practical." Sure, the DNC has been screwing Bernie in the debates via various cheating tactics for awhile, but that's a different matter. But Bernie hasn't really had to validate his plans and policies to the general populace -- only to fellow Democrats.
Right now, Bernie gets the edge in these hypothetical matchups with Trump because he hasn't been put through the ringer of the right hammering into everyone's heads the costs and the extremism of his policies. A lot of those Bernie votes in the phone polls will switch to Trump once more people fully understand what he wants to do. This is especially true for an extreme guy like Bernie, but it's also true for any candidate who hasn't been in the general election spotlight yet.
Bernie will not beat Trump. I welcome him as the Democratic candidate. He will lose in the exact swing states where the Dems need to recover.
However, Bernie won't be the nominee, nor will Warren, unless one of the two drops out fairly early. Since both are stubborn, I predict both will stay too long, split the left votes, and Biden will ride to the nomination. And if it's not Biden, it will be Harris, but that's looking less likely now.
It's realistically a 4-man race right now -- Biden, Sanders, Warren, and Harris. Harris seems to be fading since the Tulsi Gabbard debate attack, very similar to what happened to Rubio when Chris Christie went after him.
This race is fairly simple. If Bernie or Warren drops out early, the other of the two will probably beat Biden. If this doesn't happen, Biden is the nominee.
I don't want to see Biden as the nominee. He will get Pennsylvania almost by default, and he has enough name recognition and working class appeal to reclaim states like Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Six-Year-Old Saying, 'Why Don't We Just Give Everything Away For Free?' Surges To Top Of Democratic Polls
https://babylonbee.com/news/six-year...mocratic-polls
https://babylonbee.com/img/articles/article-4655-1.jpgQuote:
A new candidate has come out of nowhere to surge in the polls in the Democratic primary, and she’s only six years old. Susie Peters of Minneapolis, Minnesota, was on a local news segment where children gave their opinions on world problems, and she asked, “Why can’t we just give everyone everything they want for free?” The message quickly went viral and really resonated with Democratic voters, propelling Susie from unknown to third in most polls, ahead of Bernie Sanders and just behind Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden.
"She really has a plan for everything,” said Melinda Carlson, one of Susie’s enthusiastic supporters. “While Elizabeth Warren only has a plan for getting people free health care and free college, Susie has a plan to get everyone free everything. She’s truly a visionary.”
Her new candidacy has upset some of the other candidates, with Bernie Sanders accusing Susie of stealing all his ideas. Others say the math in her plans doesn’t add up, to which Susie says she doesn’t like math and instead likes “Twilight Sparkle.” And President Trump has taken notice, vowing to trounce Susie in the general since Trump himself can “read and write at the level of an eight-year-old.” There are also concerns Susie may be gaffe-prone like Joe Biden, as one day at school Susie referred to her teacher as "Mommy" by mistake, prompting a round of laughter from her classmates.
Still, Susie has unveiled her new popular campaign slogan, “But I want it!” and has already qualified for the next Democratic presidential debate, though she may not be able to attend since it will be on past her bedtime.
I am sitting in an American Legion in the fucking sticks in PA and just bought a round for 18 people sitting at the bar for 32.50. Real life. Gave the bartender $40 and told her to keep it and she wants to fuck me. As I write this she’s looming. She goes probably 165 so that’s an easy pass but still. You won’t find value like that anywhere else in this thread. This thread is now about redneck dive bars from hence forth. Fuck all theses candidates.
Ask if that Post is winning Legion ball tonight.Quote:

If Bob is here the next 18 rounds are on me for 36.50 if he’s drinking drinking the good stuff. Iirc he’s more rural Allegheny county, maybe beaver(yes that’s a real county). Somewhere rural is all I recall. I’m speaking in rust belt soliloquy for future reference.

Here's an interesting article claiming that Biden won't win: https://spectator.us/joe-biden-wont-win/
I agree... except he won't win the Presidency. He'll probably win the primary, and then lose against Trump when voters come to realize that he's even older and more prone to saying stupid things than Trump himself.
Trump just runs so well. This Democratic field sucks, just as the Republican field sucked in 2016, and just as Hillary sucked. He's like the mediocre tournament player who keeps winning because he's repeatedly moved to tables full of fish.
You're kidding, nobody says more crazy, insane shit than Donald Trump.Quote:

Polls results should obviously be taken with a grain of salt, but so should your personal instincts.
At least the polls aren't claiming "candidate X has 0% chance and candidate Y will definitely beat candidate Z" - which is a hell of a lot more rational than the way you're approaching the election.
Biden being more prone to say stupid shit than Trump....I don't even know what to say. It's like you live in a different universe where Trump doesn't say mind blowingly stupid shit on a near daily basis.Quote:

Druff has so much drunk in the GOPs acceptance of Trump as good for the Republican Party that he’s no longer rationally interprets most information related to Trump. (Sad!)Quote:

the most egregious form of anti-semitism is when people claim that jews have "dual loyalty." here, trump is explicitly saying just that.
