This is as good a time as any to reiterate that Amy Klobuchar - or any other of the 2020 candidates, current and former, Democrat or Republican - would be infinitely better than Donald J. Trump as President of the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Biden/Gretchen Whitmer would be good also. Bloomberg is just being a dick now. If he spent his millions on acts just going after Donny. He'd be a Dem hero if they can win in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Biden gets the nomination, I'd vote for him. But man, I'm tired of seeing old fartknockers run and get far because they're a familiar face. My dad went to college with Biden at UD. He was a year or two younger than Biden. Whenever they'd roughhouse in the dorms and wrestle around, Biden would go "WATCH THE TEETH, WATCH THE TEETH" because he, from the very start, knew he wanted to be in politics and be POTUS and didn't want anyone ****ing up his face. My dad turns 75 in April. He's been retired for a number of years. He farts around the house in his underwear, looks at birds with his binoculars and forgets stuff since he doesn't work and doesn't do anything to really keep himself sharp. He's a ****ing hazard out on the road, I'm terrified to drive with him. His filter is practically gone, he's liable to say inappropriate **** anytime, anywhere. And while it's got a potential to be hysterical, it's also got the potential to be as terrifying as his driving. He, in many ways, is far removed from being the man who raised me. I can't imagine someone at that age (or older) being President. Granted, Biden has stayed active in politics and has stayed sharp (debatable) due to the nature of the job, so the comparison to my dad isn't really legit. That said, I look at my dad and think "Jesus Christ, you're losing it," and can't imagine anyone his age being the POTUS. Yeah, yeah, I know Trump is 73, I'm not happy about it either. We've already had one President with known Alzheimer's, I don't think it's in our best interest to be electing officials that, quite frankly, are old and might not be far from losing it. That goes for you too, Bernie. Go yell about soup or how you're feeling a draft. Not sorry at all that it's agist. 12 minutes ago, bearrock said: It's a vanity show at this point. Isn't it always?

hail2skins Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Read reports that Pete is thinking of endorsing Biden, but when? I applaud Amy for announcing the endorsement right away......what is Pete waiting for? Although I agree that Bloomberg should endorse Sleepy Joe as well.

Yeah.....I mean, regardless, whether its Trump or the Democratic nominee, we're going to have a POTUS who at least has a four-year term from early 2021-early 2025 who is in their mid-70s or older. Definitely would prefer someone younger, which even means someone in their 60s. I still think there's a good chance that the GOP nominee for the ticket in 2024 is going to be President (not VP) Mike Pence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Democratic party makes a hard swing left, that ends his political career before it even really starts. And I'm not sure he's not in reality more in line with the left wing (that's certainly where he started this election cycle). Why should he be in a hurry to endorse Biden? (As not a fan of Bernie's and not a fan of Biden's, if I were Pete, I'd be very very hesitant to endorse Biden.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(AP) - The number of early in-person voters for North Carolina's primary surpassed figures from the state's primary four years ago. The State Board of Elections says counties recorded 778,000 people casting ballots at early-voting sites before they closed Saturday. That’s more than 90,000 above the 2016 primary early-vote total. The numbers don’t include traditional mail-in absentee ballots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillary did well with black voters in the primary. Perhaps better than Biden? But she still struggled to get them to turnout in the general. On the other hand Harris is pretty disliked by a lot on the left, so I don’t know that she would be a helpful pick. Abrams, Warren, or Castro might be better. Booker could be interesting. He isn’t loved by the left, but doesn’t have some baggage others do. Also he has some appeal to the middle and is a good debater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
