2020 Democratic presidential primary

god it sucks knowing that if Warren did somehow win the nomination, there would be zero good faith effort by the right (and especially Trump) to counter her policy proposals and ideas, it would just be 24/7 non-stop POCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTASPOCAHONTAS

She might be a better bet than Bernie. I haven’t decided who I am going to vote for—by the time they’re in NY I’m assuming it will be clear which one has the best shot of winning.

There is going to be zero good faith from the right about anyone. Who cares.

True.

I can get with most of these candidates with my head if need be, but Liz Warren is the one in my <3. I wish America didn't suck so much.

The right doesn't operate in good faith with their own candidates, let alone opposition candidates. Yerac OTM.

I can get with most of these candidates with my head if need be

true but if the candidate ends up Biden or O'Rourke that puts me at risk of accidentally ticking the wrong box on my GE ballot due to uncontrollable eyerolling

tbc I like Warren a lot, I just found the Pod Save connection amusing. The fact that she's so far behind in funding and (currently) polling sucks shit.

But I thought purely negative campaigns can't work, and it's only possible to win by running on popular issues. So wouldn't this make Warren the most electable?

It still doesn't make the idea of subjecting the entire country to that campaign desirable or enjoyable.

I wish it weren't so, but I feel like Warren's best + most possible destiny is to be a really strong cabinet member

yeah the Office supercut def came from conservative circles. but it was pretty harmless really iirc

the original had a michael moment for trump too, but the fair-and-balanced washington free beacon seems to have omitted that particular scene.

we probably should separate the head of state/head of government roles because a lot of voters and donors seem only interested in choosing the former. https://t.co/Nu3Xk4z5Ow

Or, like, separate votes for the legislative and the executive branch.

that was my most alfred post

another biden story just broke

https://www.courant.com/politics/hc-pol-biden-grabbed-aide-20190401-vl7chim3hrdjtcwu2tszrhozzm-story.html

shocking

can't wait to see how Kristen Gillibrand gets blamed for this.

$10 says it involves ranch dressing

I mean some people are trying to pin the Flores incident on Bernie, so I earnestly wouldn't be surprised

wondering if his window is closing or if he's just gonna try to biden his time until may and hope this blows over
nb: i no longer think this is gonna blow over; too much heat from all sides

yeah let's please hurry up and skip to the part where he sourly announces he's not running because the party has abandoned comity with Republicans and good old fashioned bipartisan governance, followed by Joe Scarborough rending his garments on air.

Sorry for Amp and Beto Hot Take: https://amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/586201/

Xpost yeah a quick scroll through Twitter and I see people circulating photos of Bernie with his hand on Flores’ shoulder and Flores with her hand on Biden’s shoulder
So this is going to go well

Okay, that's pretty good

Finally an office with room for a walk and talk. pic.twitter.com/SfphOsXZiY

New Harvard IOP poll of likely Democratic presidential primary voters aged 18-29:

Sanders 31%
Biden 20%
O'Rourke 10%
Harris 5%
Warren 4%
Booker 3%
Yang 2%
(everyone else: 1% or less)

phew, is it hot in here or is am i just feelin the bern

Harris raises $12 million in first quarter

It's gonna do interesting things to the polling when Biden is no longer an option

speaking of uncle joe

Immediately after I shared my story of sexual assault during an @ItsOnUs rally in front of hundreds, I met Biden backstage.

While speaking with him, he kept his hand on my thigh. He was uncomfortably physically affectionate.

I believe @LucyFlores. https://t.co/3eSuTUCBWe

yeah these are not going to stop coming. and who knows what else is just kicking around, waiting to be stumbled upon

Joe Biden just called me beautiful and gave me a hug & kiss and told me not to date til I was 30 #nbd

I had to go upthread to see who it was that was mocking this issue about Joe Biden. It was nerdstrom. heh.

National polls are not much use for primaries. Most of the people won’t get to vote for most of the candidates because they’ll have dropped out before their state’s primary.

likely Democratic presidential primary voters aged 18-29 know just what Sanders is all about and they like it. good on them. he's reaping the benefit of being so clear and consistent in 2016, but especially his positions on M4A and tuition costs/student loan debt.

looks like less than a third of them like it.

most that don't won't vote

About 29 results (0.31 seconds) for "silent manjority"

Eh, he's polling quite well as a second favourite as well, a lot more than 31% 'likes it'. If Biden drops out I'd say he's definitely the frontrunner. I'm very surprised to see Warren and Harris poll so low, though.

Scoop: Mike Bloomberg might still run in 2020 https://t.co/a0QxVDqVBk Not to sound too cynical, but perhaps this plethora of stories directed against Biden aren't coming from Sanders, but another source?

lmao

makes u think

When you’re the establishment candidate…:

"Speaker Nancy Pelosi said…she does not think the allegations against Joe Biden of unwelcome contact are disqualifying…but that the former vice president should be more aware of others’ personal space.”https://t.co/U2nz8balt2

— Doug Henwood (@DougHenwood) April 2, 2019

grab 'em by the personal space

Well he had a good run. He can go straight to hell now. https://t.co/TrBj8ZSru9

ok even *I* didn't think the video was too bad, and I have an extreme S*rkin allergy.

it was funny

Is this obviously a West Wing thing? (I've never seen the WW)

or just that kind of clunky reference that I now just got?

"witty repartee" and "walk and talks" are sorkin's whole schtick, and he said he wants to do it in the west wing

which i'm sure he included just in case you weren't clear if he meant he wanted to be on studio 60 on the sunset strip
