2020 presidential candidate 'crats

[Rage Against the McKee]

How many candidates did the republicans have in their first debate? I remember they used polling and everyone who didn't make the cut had to debate at the little kids' table with Lindsey. To me, that would be the first clear sign that you need to end your candidacy.

The pubs had the top 10 in the first debate.

The first dem debate is actually 2 nights because they expect so many people. They are going to randomly assign nights so it's not the big kids v little kids. There are some qualifications like raising a certain amount of money from a certain amount of people. I don't know if polling is part of it.

I donated $10 to Pete to help him make the debates. First political contribution ever.

Bernie needs to start talking to his peers.

i know you have to have a pretty big ego to get into politics, but how do you say crap like "20 years ago, I never thought I would be ready to run for President until 2028" and not know how big of an eyeroll that gets from normal people

Bernie needs to start talking to his peers.

Most of Bernie’s peers lived through decades of indoctrination about how bad socialism is and how great American bootstrap capitalism is. It’s a pretty big hurdle to overcome for what he’s preaching.

less conservative than the general populace.  no where close to as single party as black voters.  highly variable by nationality of origin and region.

lol, meet more black people. I don't even know what this single issue is.

Sorry, I read "single party" as "single issue," I'm a dumbass and offer my sincerest apologies. I'm amazed at the sheer number of socially conservative blacks who are democrats, in some ways they are the 21st century dixiecrats.

Pete's going to play very well in Iowa. I hope his ground game is strong because he's going to generate a lot of headlines the longer this goes. He could be to the gay candidate what Obama was for the black candidate.

my goodness.  you've mellowed in your time away from the politics board.  truly, our board culture has died.

Pete's going to play very well in Iowa.

yeah, he's good.

I apologize and admit fault a lot. If the search function wasn't so mumped I bet I've said some form of I'm sorry or I was wrong at least a dozen times. Strong opinions lead to being wrong on occasion.

yeah, i know you do.  just using the opportunity to observe how inoffensive everyone has become these days.  myself included (most of the time).

it may not matter in a primary, but biden really does occupy (or at least start from) a unique position compared to all other dem candidates.

I simply do not understand people who didn't like Hillary but favor Biden. Is it just misogyny because politically they're basically identical twins?

There are legitimate outside reasons to not support a Clinton

What percentage of people who would favor Biden over Hillary do you think could articulate what those things are? Are we holding her accountable for her husband's misdeeds? Where I sit Biden and Hillary have spent 30 years playing in the same pig pen.

3%? I personally think you could fairly hold her complicit in some of those misdeeds and the aftermath.

90% of politics is likability not issues and Biden comes across much better than Hillary does. A vocal minority cares enough to know more than a 2 line description of a candidate. For the rest?
