Your 2020 Presidential Candidate Speculation Thread

Can we vote for you?

I look forward to Morbius explaining why this is evil, and just another example of Booker serving his true corporate masters like the might-as-well-be-a-Republican he is.

i don't answer cherrypicking strawmen

scuse me i have a Method class

now i have "method man" stuck in my head, only it's "m-e-t, h-o-d, MORBS"

Or you could o the Hall & Oates route. m-e-t-h-o-d-o-f modern morbs

lol Doc

Cory Booker would rather be seen as unbelievably dumb than as sympathetic to Palestinians https://t.co/dUTeFJNMbR

hahaha

committed leftist Harry Reid

At the same time, the thousands of activists gathered are asking a similar question: Who is Harris? The former San Francisco prosecutor and California’s “top cop” as attorney general who built up a mixed record on criminal justice reform, bank regulation and environmentalism? Or a progressive who combines the pragmatism of Hillary Clinton with the promise of Barack Obama

fucking hell, political writers are the worst on earth

i assumed this would link to the palestine story

MR hoos

first john cusack and now this

be careful how

always good advice

HOOS you are ubiquitous and i'm not gonna finish

here's how the rest of that thought goes

"Be careful how you refer to her and how you speak about her. We black voters are sick and fucking tired of fake allies like you putting down black candidates because of purity bullshit. We are watching and taking names. We learned our lessons from BernieOrBust and 2016 especially. You people will NOT change the makeup of black voters.You will NOT bully us into changing for you. We WON'T. WE will properly be vetting Bernie Sanders this time unlike 2016 when white liberal media gave this sucker a pass. It will be painful for him and painful for YOU as well."

there's more but yknow, nah

a perk of being in the arena

I cannot get over "You are nothing but a little Digital Communications Strategist." Was that copy-pasted off your linkedin?

...

it's my official job title on the website, which is likely also where they pulled my email

It just uh amuses me in context. Like what is belittling about being a digital communications strategist

A little one.

true believers are the worst

Odds that this is from a Russian bot?

I poked around and this person appears to have left similar challops on the Facebook pages for a couple MSNBC programs so

This sucks but mitigating factor is that I haven’t seen a single person respond to this in positive terms.

"I’m exploring a run for the presidency of the United States, and I wanted to come to Iowa and listen to people and learn about some issues that are facing the citizens of Iowa and do my homework," Avenatti told the Des Moines Register https://t.co/Wje8C2sY7E

Delusions of grandeur are a hell of a drug

AveNOT

jesus christ

what, he's running too?

damn as someone who admires him mostly for his strategic legal and psych nous, i really hope he is just trolling the fuck out of trumpists.

Damn, the hell of our trumpworld is weighing on me.

I'd be pretty conflicted about even the prospect of an Avenatti run. On the one hand, all I want more than almost anything is a return to some semblance of normalcy. On the other hand, he might be right that post-Trump, all bets are off. I wonder if a country that could or would elect Trump can ever be normal again, so by that standard I'm not sure smart policy or thoughtful discourse or gravity or anything "normal" tops personalty and/or pugnaciousness.

Anyway, I assume he's trolling. Once again worth pointing out that Trump hasn't said a peep about Avenatti, for whatever reason. Not by name, not by nickname. Even pretending to run for president you would thing would eventually attract his ire, if only to make fun of the idea, but so far ... not a word.

man, tabloids are probably itching to hit publish on "Ave-Naughty" headlines

Ave-NOT! -i.

'Ave another, Avenatti.

To Have and Have Avenatti

the hottie and the avenottie

sorry but if you’re the least bit “conflicted” about that clown running for president you’re a lunatic

Could be! I just mean that, presuming that some colorful clown will be on at least one half of the ticket, or at least the potential for a colorful clown, since the election - my god, ELECTION! - of Donald Trump means that literally anyone can become president, I'd rather it be Avenatti than Vince McMahon or whomever.

I wonder if a country that could or would elect Trump can ever be normal again

lol

we've always been that country, as Mencken predicted this a century ago. We just had to wait for skin-crawling shamelessness to reach weekly TV.

I don't think we've ever had this degree of daily insanity driven by one person for years on end.

media saturation ftw

Would love to be able to pretend Trump wasn’t a uniquely dangerous/damaging and that the nukes he’ll probably threaten to use again don’t exist.

no one's pretending

let's be real Trump is too much of a coward to nuke anything

not true. He's literally too stupid to understand the consequences of using a nuke
