2020 presidential candidate 'crats

[MakeItRain]

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.

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.

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.

I know you're mega dumb, so I'll talk slow, in hopes you understand this.

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

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.

Think he is going to get offered a cabinet spot or something decent in the admin for doing his part?

i expect sanders and biden will get a greater share of buttigieg's voters than is indicated in 2nd choice polls.  from my own direct experience, you may be willing to continue supporting your first choice even when it is obvious they aren't going to win, but that doesn't mean you will choose to do the same for the candidate you like second best.

still, all three non-sanders candidates should benefit and collectively limit sanders delegate haul by a good bit.

donors are obviously much more tuned in and reactive than are voters, but i imagine you're seeing similar, although more muted, reaction among super tuesday voters.

Of all the reasons for Pete to drop out, my guess is that he felt it improved his chances of winning the presidency down the line vs staying in this year and most likely fizzling out. Like MIR said earlier, it doesn’t make much sense for a candidate to drop out between SC and Super Tuesday. The exception to that is if they want to make a statement. My guess is this was always the plan barring some miracle in NV.

I wonder if Pete will try to remain a public figure after this. And, how so?

I'm still curious about what he'll do. Host a game show?

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

He’s seriously younger than Bloomberg? I’m increasingly convinced there’s just something not right with him other than being old.

Senate seems like a popular choice.

Biden looks like a corpse.

The youngest corpse in the field!

Bloomberg ran a 3 minute ad during primetime tonight about the Coronavirus. I guess it was attempt to show him making a presidential address but it was horrawful. He has the charisma of freezing fog.

Bloomberg should help Biden beat Trump, and use his money to take over the Knicks.  He'd be a superhero.

More importantly, though, WHERE'S HUNTER!?!?!?

MIR - I’m not going to keep the quote-chain going, but I just wanted to respond that you’re about halfway toward becoming a conservative. You’ve already recognized the Dem party for the racist pandering patronizing frauds they are. I predict within the next 5 years you’ll come to realize that the “policies” advanced by the Dems aren’t really in your best interest, either. No thinking person sticks with the party of Tammany Hall forever. Welcome in advance, brother.

You think because someone’s not a Democrat that makes them a conservative?

I think KSU should consult SD and Limestone about his logic(nonsense).

[star seed 7]

Republicans are the party of color-blind policies - lol talk about naive, good grief dub

This might be the dumbest conclusion ever.

I like that dub is choosing right now to pitch the GOP

[Dugout DickStone]

neither party is color blind.  It is upon the voter to decide which one is pandering to them less with the assumption both are looking to take advantage of your demographics to convince you that said party is the party that best represents you.

[sonofdaxjones]

Dub, pay no mind, these RUIN's belong to a party that considers it extremely racist to question any (D, and only D) politician of color on policy and political belief.
