It’s changed. At first they had so many, all needed to muster up the courage to oppose Trump and Large Shipping. Everyone was in agreement about their goals, they all had one goal, to produce the best candidate to oppose and soundly beat Donald Trump in the next Presidential election.
Then it kind of got to…do you like me better?
Who is the worst person? Who has the better plan for the people?
Surely these factors would defeat Trump.
But then it changed to “I must win”. Not who has the best plan. Whom is true and liked for who they actually are. Not for being more attractive than Trump. Not even for Democrats. But for “ME”.
That’s probably why they can’t beat Trump. They are getting distracted by the desire to share their own weak and flawed policies. This is about Trump and his flaws. Any attempt to change the ebb and flow will result in failure. That’s probably why your man Yang didn’t make the debate.
There was news on major traffic jams in LA yesterday. It made me think about Yang’s policy on infrastructure and if it could measure up to Trumps policy. Btw, help is on the way. Trump is going to shave off 8 years of red tape so your crumbling state can start building new roads faster. If Yang can’t compete with that, Yang probably won’t stay in the race long. Good luck, Friend! We’re here for you!
It has already been fact checked and turns out the video has not been doctored. I’d expect sanders to go after that false claim pretty hard. Sanders seems to have a problem with liars. I’m not sure if warren was lying or just misinterpreted. She certainly lied when she claimed he had more billionaire donors.
I want a real democrat. Not some guy that is going backwards. We’ve has social security for 55 years. We are going to back to the days before Lyndon Johnson? It should be expanded. Not cut. He also voted for Iraq war and was one of the reasons it got so much support from democrats. He has never admitted wrongdoing on that. Just lies. Probably a smart move. It’s better in politics to lie than admit fault. Just look at the president.
I agree completely with this. Biden would be better than Trump but absolutely nothing to get excited about. The problem is that task #1 has to be to get rid of Trump, and I’m not sure any of them (including Biden) can.
I suppose I’m not giving Democrats enough attention because I had no idea Biden accused Sanders of doctoring a video. Why would Biden accuse Sanders of such underhandedness? Is he trying to get the light off of himself by putting it on everyone else?
I also didn’t understand what PolitiFact meant by saying Biden lauded Paul Ryan for proposing tax cuts to SS and Medicare but that Sanders got that wrong.
While Sanders has a valid point that Biden should have to answer, Sanders should also answer for his own unrealistic policies and back-biting actions, starting with his lame excuse for filibustering the Biden-negotiated deal with Republicans that extended the Bush-era tax cuts, cut the estate tax, continued unemployment benefits and the temporary SS payroll tax cut.
I am definitely pro-inheritance-tax. Exempt the first $100k and then tax above that. Tax heavily over $1 million. Tax even more heavily over $10 million. Close the insurance policy loopholes, too. Spread the wealth.
Senators in the Democratic Presidential Primary seem to to be appalled by anyone running who is not currently in some kind of political office or who has served in one. The more current the better as it seems there is some theory that if you go inactive it is impossible to ever start again or impossible without any previous experience.
But think about it…Is there is a Vice Senator existing or an acting Deputy Mayor for every candidate who has a current committment to his or her own state to suddenly just drop it as if it is running fine and then hit the Primary with 100% focus?
Maybe they have actualy done all they can for their state and with the current President it is impossible for them to fix any continued or grossly neglected issues. Maybe they have been like extra smart students who finished their tests or reading assignments and math homework early and can pursue an advanced study or activity for intellectual advancement. Maybe their plans are so good the states or districts are now practically running themselves and they feel driven to implement their models for the benefit of all Americans.
Doesn’t this also get them out of their current obligations and duties and allow them to put off substantial work commitments? Maybe even just one or two select loathsome tasks. Is this a necessary trade off or really just being lazy? Think about sometime you were lazy with the dishes or laundry or any simple daily tasks.
Can you honestly say you are not shirking something off you are supposed to be 100% committed to?
Yang was absent from the last debate but he got a lot of good talk show air time as a trade off. I think even better media coverage and avoiding the insults and bickering.
The attention now shifts a bit off the democrats in the primaries to the 7 democrat managers in the impeachment trial. If totally successful they would basically invalidate all the democrats in the primaries who agreed their main goal was defeating Trump. If the primary continues then it casts suspicion that the trial is fixed and not the election.
Gravel said Sanders/Gabbard or Gabbard/Sanders would be his ideal ticket.
I know she is married, but without Bernie I think some foreign alpha male would be constantly trying to assert himself at every opportunity, his own idea of masculinity. The only way to rebuke him would be emasculate him if that is at all possible.
That is what is unattractive to me about Tulsi as a candidate. Too many prospective suitors. I agree that Bernie as either VP or P along with Gabbard would be the best Gabbard ticket. Bernie is senior strong and a very good balance with Gabbard. They make a good balance not only with each other but like a large scale or Libra that others cannot tip when weighing in against.
I like bernie better and he has a better chance. She could have been VP. She probably destroyed that chance. I could see Bernie picking gabbard as well.
