because the buttigieg campaign, assisted by some in the media, has tried to use that as an excuse for his poor polling with black voters?

He's been right about it all along though, I'm not sure the basis for arguing otherwise. Evangelicals, by and large, aren't voting for a gay candidate. Most African-Americans and African-American democrats, especially in South Carolina, are evangelicals. This is all based on the poll numbers you hold so near and dear. I'm also telling you that homophobia is very prevent among younger African-Americans. Your polls won't tell you that but enough black people have that at some point you'll maybe listen instead of relying on the five black people you know in California.

That being said Pete also has a very clear issue with African-Americans who are not evangelical, who are college educated, and middle and upper class. That's all his doing and his campaign seems hell bent on making it worse every day. All of these candidates need people of color in decision making roles on these staffs.

Bloomberg's strategy is interesting because I'm working off the assumption that he's not blowing a billion dollars without a good reason, but I can't really figure out his path. He's running for the nomination of a party that detests people like him. I guess maybe he's setting up an indepedent run, or maybe he's just trying to cut the legs out from under Sanders and Warren, or maybe both. I'd definitely favor an independent run because he's not going to meaningfully siphon Trump's votes.

Do you really think Dems are against billionaires/millionaires?   :ROFL:

Yeah I think he will run a smarter campaign and increase turnout relative to Hillary

I think if there's only one person Trump can beat, that person is Bernie.

It’s crazy to watch how Trump won and think Bernie can’t do the same thing. Both rely on galvanizing their bases and getting their supporters to turn out. Moderates turned off by Bernie aren’t gonna vote Trump. They will either vote 3rd party or stay home.

This thing is very over. Bernie is going to win SC and run the score up on Super Tuesday. He's going to win by large margins in large, diverse states. California, Texas, Illinois, and Florida will be bloodbaths. Joe spent all that time pandering to African-American evangelicals, talking to them like they are mindless pets, and he completely forgot about the latinx vote.

Also lol at that old fool acting like the one delegate he's going to win means anything. He's leaving Nevada still in 5th place in the delegate count.

Agreed. Any how does that help Bernie win? Yes, he will turn out ”the base” in greater numbers - if by base you mean Marxist kooks and people who absolutely despise Trump, but he will also lose significant chunks of voters closer to the middle. This is a man who has pledged to abolish private health insurance when most people say they are happy with their healthcare. This is a man who is a self-described socialist in a country where a slim majority - not plurality but majority - say they would never vote for a socialist.

Trump is a buffoon, but he never had the kind of electoral problems Bernie has. He is poison. And again, if you ever watch the way he hunches over the lectern and literally flaps his gums while denouncing capitalism, he looks like an angry muppet. I don’t think the Bernie Bros can see how horrible his optics are.

This describes virtually every Dem politician.

Yes, this is absolutely the Trump second term unicorn.

I asked him about Pete and he said "I'm not voting for him because I don't want my president doing mommy crap in the middle of the night if we need him."

Like in a time-sensitive emergency, it's more difficult to pull one's dick out of an ass than it is out of a vag?

NO TRIM!  DON'T GO THERE!   :ROFL:

Clearly no logic applies

I liked the specificity.  "mommy crap, OK.  Even at nighttime, still OK.  But if there's a missile crisis at night?  NOPE!"

I wonder how many times Trump has been in the middle of one of his famous 6 flushers when he was called upon.

I got to stop sipping on my hot brew when reading this thread; hot liquid rushing thru the nostrils isn't very pleasant, but damn...  :ROFL:

Pete is worse than Hillary for lots of reasons. Amy and Joe and Bloomy and Liz might be too. IMO no one's a slam dunk vs Trump
