2020 Presidential Election: let the jockeying commence

There is pandering and then there is pandering. Liz going after the
"bad boy" demographic

 

I was surprised Warren et al did not jump on that slip up.

 

Or is she auditioning for the part of Sandy in Grease?

 

Actually, that could be the one State where Tulsi does extremely well...too bad the Dems won't let her on the stage for the debates. Keeping her out creates the self-fulfilling prophecy for polling...people don't know the name because they can never see her on stage and she cannot get on stage because people don't know the name when the pollsters call.

 

There was a point in the debate where mini-Mike stopped JUST short of saying he bought people in the 2018 elections. He was talking about the $100M or similar figure that he pumped into the campaign cycle and he utters "I bo...I got them"

If I could figure out how to find the specific moment and embed it, I would do so...but it was very telling slip that he caught before most picked up on it.

 

They went together in the US and Western Europe in capitalist countries.

 

US Union leadership and organizers even received funding from the Soviets

 

Yes. Who would be most able to run the factories once the owners were killed than the representative body of the proletariat, the labor union?

 

Stop me if you have heard this before, but money cannot buy you happiness (and perhaps a few other things). He made an unforced error declining to do the Nevada debate.

 

It's not a big shock. A bad debate can sink a candidate. Bloomberg got better in the second half, but the first portion was such a bloodbath that he never recovered.

 

In 1985, the Communist Sandinistas paid for Bernie to travel to Managua, Nicaragua to attend -- along with Soviet officials -- an anti-US rally during which he stood w a crowd chanting, “Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die.”

Bernie --

“The Sandinista government has more support among the Nicaraguan people -- substantially more support -- than Ronald Reagan has among the American people."​

This was just after Reagan beat Mondale in a landslide.

Bernie Sanders: 'Democratic Socialist' Or Out-And-Out Stalinist? | Investor's Business Daily

 

Bernie Sanders just unveiled how he'll pay for his biggest plans, from Medicare for All to erasing student debt

The only thing we can count on is that these taxes will become permanent. The benefits to the American people (and he's short of paying for them by $13.5 Trillion as the article says which right there should prove he is unfit for office) will never match the hype.

 

We may get to find out if the Bernie Bros are willing to back up all their big, bold talk

Democratic megadonor urges Pelosi and Schumer to pick a candidate in a bid to stop Bernie Sanders

 

Anybody want to wager the Dem winner in SoCar?
I bet Biden by 10+
The black vote was always why he was the presumptive winner before the race began. And Biden bought off Clyburn early and has been able to hold him. He is very influential there.

 

Workers of the world, unite.

 

I heard the black vote is 67% of the electorate

 

Everyone in politics knows the story of the Dems in SoCar. Which means Bloomberg knew about Clyburn's influence there too. Which makes me wonder what all mini-Mike dangled in front of him to try and get him to flip. More than a little sometim sometin.

 

Bold prediction. I don’t think he wins by 10% with that many people in the “moderate” lane.

 

Re: the union stuff being discussed—

Some unions were friendly to the communists and even had card carrying communists and fellow travelers among their leadership, such as the ILWU (longshoremen/dock workers on the West Coast), the farm workers union in California, and some of the miners unions. The IWW (Wobblies) were communists.

Other unions were not friendly at all towards the communists, such as the Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers Union and sometimes the Steelworkers Union. Although Truman and the Steelworkers butted heads during a strike when the Korean War was going on. Truman brought in the Army. Moscow probably liked that, but I don’t think the Steelworkers were commies. Certainly not the rank and file.

At least one union was violently hostile towards the communists and leftists in general, and took every available opportunity to (literally) bash their skulls in—the Teamsters. Some say there was a point where they functioned as a sort of informal private army for Nixon and some organized crime figures back then.

 

If Cosmo Kramer had an uncle, that's what he'd look like

 

Another one from Facebook.

 

Or to put it more accurately, "I actually don't have a plan, but I do have some vague and nonspecific political taking points that I'm hoping your audience will mistake for a plan."

 

Hmmm... I wonder how her appropriation of the money funding the PORTFOLIO of immigration control would help if someone with coronavirus sneaks across the river, enters my fiancee's ranch land, breaks some gates and fences down, breaks some windows and steals some food (which happens quite a bit in the real world) before mingling with us all.

 

As long as she can get his or her vote....

 

It is frustrating to me how she gets away with being such a demagogue. She calls it a racist wall. But the hard reality is that the southern border is where the sieve is. The dam broke. They are flooding across and we all know it. They just happen to be Hispanic. Then you have the true racism, led by La Raza, LULAC's and their cheerleader, Sotomayor. Why do they care so much? Because they are racists; caring only for their tribe. We know the political vision is open borders, sanctuary cities, benefits, amnesty and the abolishment of the enforcement arm (ICE and cutting back on immigration control funding). THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT THIS.

But we have this shrill, sanctimonious, virtue signaling, humorless, narcissistic, demagogue willing to openly and arrogantly lie about the situation all to assuage her massive ego and chip on her shoulder.

 

How can a wall be racist? It affects everyone equally except the maybe the handicapped. You try to point that out to a SJW, you likely get screeching. Can’t wait till Nov 3.

 

She thinks Open Borders will save us from coronavirus?
Ideas like this only make sense in liberalville

 

This is a clue as to how cynical she is about her supporters. They're idiots. They eat the racist talk up like raw meat and she knows it. They are zealots with fire burning in their eyes. Or at least I hope she's just being cynical. If she actually believes this stuff then she's truly dangerous.
