2020 presidential candidate 'crats

[Institutional Control]

The worst part of the Biden win tonight is the collective ass kissing of the Obama presidency. I guess it doesn't take long to blackwash his actual record, especially on the lack of advancement of cornerstone Democrat social issues. His presidency was almost identical to GWBs. His only tangible advancement was nearly completely decimated before he even left office. But black president, YAY!

Fixed the economy.

I've been hearing Biden, Steyer, and Bloomberg ads on my local rap station. The Biden one mentions Obama like 15 times but does mention Obamacare and saving the economy as well. The Biden and Bloomy ones sound pretty similar because neither one talks, they have a black announcer saying everything. I know this happens with all sorts of ads but it seems like the political ads seem most out of place. I also might notice it more because I've really only been seeing Bloomberg TV ads.

Steyer just dropped out. Add him to the list of richies that should throw their support behind Biden

He should have thrown his money on Senate races.

Must have been a nice pay day to drop out before Super Tuesday

[chum1]

I will miss him.

Boooooo! Are we sure about this? Are there any wine caves in South Bend?

Warren needs to drop out and endorse Bernie. But it looks like she isn’t.

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

I think as long as Warren and Bloomberg stay in, Super Tuesday should still be a huge mess. Right? :nervous:

i've been a huge critic, obviously, but respect buttigieg's decision here.  it was the obvious move, and he should be well rewarded if biden wins, but still not an easy thing to do.

It is a two-person race between Bernie and Biden. Not sure what you think about that.  Bernie will win the most delegates Tuesday, but if he loses Texas and Biden sweeps the South, it is going to be a slog and Biden will likely win a war of attrition with the backing of the entire establishment. That is probably the best you can hope for.

Say it ain't so, Pete!

Ok - so does that mean a lot of enraged Bernie Bros voting 3P, and libs spending billions more on a primary season? This sounds appealing.

Do you think Liz will give her concession speech Tuesday night? I’m planning a watch party and trying to figure out how late into the night we might be going here.

Good. We need to get some younger voices in our government.

Bloomie was just on 60 Minutes, of course he had an ad that ran right before his segment started. One of the shots of him on the commercial had him standing in front of a podium that said "Mike for Black America." I can't begin to explain the burning rage I have when I see stuff like that. The entire thought process is just so frustrating. I would rather a candidate just not give a crap, like Klo and Pete. Of course the candidates that are worst about this are the candidates who have to pander (Trump, Biden, Bloomberg) because their policies are weak. You don't hear Steyer, Sanders, or Warren pulling this bullshit, because they don't have to. Sanders looks to have learned from his all lives matter gaffe four years ago.

Good decision Pete. Throw in with old AF Diamond Joe.

this would be a dream come true for biden and would imply a substantial bounce from south carolina.  i think it is still more likely that we'll get something more like a 300 delegate lead for sanders after super tuesday.

so much of it is dependent on how soft bloomberg's support is and if three days is enough time for pragmatic voters to realize that voting for bloomberg helps sanders.

I 100% agree with you, sys.

He's out of money and didn't see a path. He didn't get paid but it's a massive Eff You to Bernie. This was also the best thing to stay in the good graces of the Democratic establishment, he's now too big for South Bend. I think he stays in if Indiana was a part of Super Tuesday, I think this is why Klo is staying. Liz still blindly sees a path, and Massachusetts, which she's going to lose, is in Super Tuesday. She'll probably benefit the most with Pete dipping. I am less bullish on Bernie with this news, I thought the longer the field was wide, the better his chances were. If Liz is remotely interested in getting a progressive to win the nomination she'll dip Wednesday morning and immediately back Bernie, she can't sit out like others who have quit. I'll be interested to see if she drops quickly, they attempted a big fundraising push this weekend.

What kind of people prefer Biden to Pete, good grief.

why do crats give a crap which crat wins a red state, seems like results that should be thrown out of the equation in preference of who does well in swing states

Seriously MIR, you seem reasonably intelligent, but also in some ways hopelessly naive. If you don’t like it when politicians pander to black people, why in the holy eff’ing hell do you support any Democrat?! That is the party’s primary MO. Do you really believe that Sanders and Warren don’t do this? I suspect a quick google search would provide ample evidence to the contrary. If you want actual color-blind policies and governance, you’re in the wrong party friend. Now granted, of course Trump is pandering the crap out of black people (he may be out-pandering the Dems), but that’s because Trump is first and foremost a political opportunist and he’s gonna use every weapon he can even if it comes from the Dem playbook. But conservativism is color blind. The essence of progressivism is lumping people into victim groups.

This could be said for both parties. It’s such a stupid way to pick the strongest nominee.

  You have to make people feel like their vote counts the same, as stupid as that logic is
