She’s a high-data policy wonk. But, that’s why I like her. Polar opposite of 45 and most of her Dem competition, which is refreshing to me. Might be a fatal flaw in our hyperbolic times, tho. Whoever gets the nomination should seriously consider her as VP if for any other reason but to turn her lose on regulation reform. Cheney blew the lid off of what a VP is capable of doing as the second most powerful person in the country, I'd tell her to prioritize every loophole she could find and let nature takes it course.

You need the black vote motivated. Shirley Abrams is the choice. She's the perfect choice for veep and can speak to the issue of voter suppression by Trump and the GOP. 1 hour till all the polls close in NH.

She doesn't have nearly the experience Warren does, Abrams is not ready yet. I refuse to accept that only a black candidate can motivate the black vote when its split mostly between two white guys approaching 80. The existential threat will have to matter more or not at all.

88Comrade2000 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 It's early but it's looking like the youth vote is lower and the older vote is higher. Early numbers are trickling in. Amy seems to be overperforming early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an email to staff, the campaign manager and chief said: “it has come time to wind down the campaign and begin looking forwards to the future.”<<< Andrew Yang is dropping out.

NoCalMike Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I am still laughing at the irony of people ranting on social media about "celebrities lecturing me" when they are likely the same folks who voted for a reality-tv host to be President. I wish they would just be more honest about it and say "I don't want to be lectured by celebrities......that I disagree with" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 It looks like the race probably boils down to Sanders vs the anti-Sanders candidate. Unless Pete or Amy get the minority vote; they aren't going to far despite doing well tonight. Bloomberg is the most likely the anti-Sanders options. Quite a contrast: Sanders vs Bloomberg.

NoCalMike Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 The way the media is treating Bernie, it is going to be cringe-worthy if he actually wins the nomination and they all have to do an about face on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearrock Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Biden needs to do the right thing and drop out. Give the moderates of the party to coalesce around Klobuchar or Buttigieg. At this rate Sanders is going to be the dem version of 2016 Trump's path to the nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Bernie should tell Warren to drop out. Finishing 4th is fatal for her campaign. Who else will drop out? Will Bennett & Patrick realize it's over & drop out? What will the russian agent Gabbard do? Isn't time for her to launch her 3rd party bid?

justice98 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Biden sucks at presidential campaigns. He really has been sleepwalking through this thing. He dragged his feet getting in the race to begin with, then he coasted for a while like he was taking his frontrunner status for granted. Then the Hunter Biden stuff started and that's all he's done since. He's just floundering. I feel like it's Bernie or bust right now. Merely because he has a passionate base. None of these other folks I want to hang my hopes on in a general election. I like Warren's ideas, but I dont love her in a general election as the nominee. Buttigieg and Klobachar can forget it. They can enjoy their little moments here, but they're just delaying the inevitable, IMO. I dont know where Bloomberg fits in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
