SandyCromarty Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Trump will win a second term, unfortunately. I wish Saunders well but hopefully the pressure of electioneering will not provoke another heart attack as happened last October. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Word is that Sanders could have it wrapped up by March 17th, giving him 8 months to campaign directly against Trump and to sell his alternative, which I think is sellable in the swing states. His choice of running partner will be interesting, AOC would be glorious but he might think he needs someone more conventional to reassure the centrists. "A heartbeat from the Presidency" would be on continuous loop on Fox. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/02/23/bernie-barrels-super-tuesday-delegate-117028 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie could have his pick of running mates - Elizabeth Warren would be the obvious choice, but you could pick any of the reasonable Democrat challengers. Mayor Pete seems to be the centrist of choice going by the very early caucuses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh you have to be 35 i think, AOC is too young in terms of their constitution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Liz Warren won't be anywhere near Bernie's campaign. She has shown her true colours over past few months ago also has the Pocahontas problem. Rashida Tlaib would be a boss move. It will probably be a woman of colour no is expecting (if Bernie survives the convention).

It will probably be a woman of colour no is expecting (if Bernie survives the convention). Mis-truths (or lies as we might call them) are absolutely no issue for presidential candidates. Donald Trump, when not ramping up tensions in the Middle East through blind and wilful ignorance, tells lies on a daily basis far more damagingly than exaggerating one’s Native American familial ties. He absolutely does not get to dictate the ethics of candidates. It was really weird though. The whole “Bernie doesn’t think a woman can win” was equally peculiar, but equally irrelevant to the electorate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 It's not Trump who matters it's the Native American activists who have spoken out about Warren. And the women can't win thing proved she can't be trusted as did filling her campaign with Clinton people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 She wouldn't have done the DNA test if she didn't think the family story about having Native American ancestors was true. And we don't know what Bernie said or didn't say about the likelihood of a female President. And as far as recruiting ex Clinton operatives, where else is she supposed to get experienced Democrats from? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choosing a woman of colour isn't a bad idea in the slightest but they absolutely should let that decision speak for itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I think Bernie will go for a "safe" running mate. Someone like Biden but naw Biden. A moderate to appease the liberals in the middle that they're not gonna get sent straight to the gulag for owning an SUV. Then, once he wins, gulag them anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Going for a moderate is too risky as it's just tempting the CIA to off you. That's why Trump the smart man that he is chose Pence. Edited February 24, 2020 by Detournement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 If Bernie can’t keep the paedophile that makes a living representing the guiltiest men in history he has no chance of beating Trump. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pretty much said "I'm not saying I fucked a child but if the chance came I would and so would all of you".
