It's kind of interesting that the last few dem presidents have been self-made men and the last few pub presidents have been trust fund brats.

Given the demographics of the parties I don’t find that surprising at all

So it seems like Warren is toast. Thank goodness.

She was never going anywhere to begin with. She's the liberal Ted cruz but like more likeable on a personal level.

I kind of wish she were still in the race, because I think she would take votes from Bernie.

i don't think many dem primary voters will care about warren's bar registration. it might become part of a very slightly damaging narrative in a general, but i don't think she's highly likely to get to the general.`

she yet persists.

I honestly think it's very endearing that Warren lied about her race so many times. She would be my favorite person in this race if she had better policy positions.

I don’t care for Warren as a candidate but I don’t really GAF about her claiming Native American heritage on a bar registration. That’s not even gonna get you anything.

On a college or job application I put it on the same level as a DUI. Yeah, not ideal and possibly a symptom of a bigger issue but I can easily get over it if you’re otherwise solid.

It only gets so much press because it's one of those things that pos pubs make a lot of noise pretending to care about.

This primary is going to be so fun

It's not even in the same ballpark as a DUI.

That’s a matter of opinion. Even though it doesn’t put other people in danger, I take more seriously any issues involving deception or dishonesty when looking at political candidates.

polls today have me rethinking my anti biden/old people bias.

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #516 on:** February 06, 2019, 01:27:01 PM »

I don't think Biden is too old to win an election. He's just too old to be a good president.

More presidents have been super old than not

Not only is Biden old af, I'm just pretty rough ridin' sick of baby boomers at this point. rough ridin' retire already. Or die. Whatever.

Well besides worrying about his age, you could focus on the fact that Biden's politics are pretty awful.

Then start getting excited about a second term for Trump, because that seems more likely than most of these dud candidates.

sys · « **Reply #522 on:** February 06, 2019, 05:06:06 PM »

i meant who is going to win the dem primary.

also, if the general were held today, trump would lose to basically any of them.

sys, come back to us. KSU beat KSU last night, did you hear? I'm afraid you're going full chunkles. STOP DISCUSSING THE DEM PRIMARY AND COME TO THE HOOPS BOARD.

steve dave · « **Reply #524 on:** February 06, 2019, 05:45:57 PM »

Dem Primary sd rankings (not on quality, on chance of winning the nom):

1. Biden (I'd only give him like a 30% chance of even running to begin with)
2. Beto
3. NJ Cop
4. CA Cop
5. HI Cop
6. OH guy who talks weird
