Your next 2020 Democratic presidential primary thread: Now we're serious

I mean ideally we'd have a President and VP who can't but lol

Unfortunate that there's no way to do a Thatcher/milk snatcher with Buttigieg and bread. If only it had been an egg price-fixing scandal.

Would sweeping New England give them enough of an electoral college advantage?

Get to speculating yourself https://www.270towin.com

i for one enjoyed pete being cool with "on the front lines of corporate downsizing." a rare moment of unintentional honesty.

the quad city times has endorsed boss of the year amy klobuchar. in 2016 they endorsed sanders

In one town hall, “Bennet swung his hands so wildly while making a point that he hit a woman in the head, he tripped over a stool holding his water, and he nearly tangled himself in a microphone cord while trying to take off his sport coat.” https://t.co/DMkJH7KStX

Chevy Chase comeback material

the quad city times has endorsed boss of the year amy klobuchar. in 2016 they endorsed sanders

very odd, would have assumed quad city would stick with the candidate with the plan for more high-speed rail.

the quad city editors looked at how the political landscape changed from 2016 to 2020 and thought, who is a white iowan's idea of a non-controversial candidate? bernie is a socialist, warren wants to tax $50 millionaires too much, biden and his son is embezzling laundry in eastern europe or whatever is what i heard, pete is too inexperienced. amy klobuchar has never lost an election, and her shivering bangs are electric on the debate stage, no one can doubt it.

I’ve reached acceptance about the fact that I kinda like Klobuchar. She’s very good at needling Buttigieg on the debate stage. That slight overemphasis on the word “mayor” is classic.

Come to think of it she’s probably also the ideal candidate to take on Trump in a debate. One of her eye rolls would instantly puncture his blowhard misogyny.

i mean, prosecutorial condescension is a trainable skill. it's what makes harris and klobuchar so much fun in hearings.

the way that klubuchar butts into every actual debate or interesting moment happening on the debate stage makes me want to rip my eyeballs out and throw them at the screen.

*brief accidental discussion emerges about campaign finance and what candidates think about relying on dark money*
"excuse me, EXCUSE ME WOLF, but i think i speak for everyone in this room and america when i say the people of the united states don't care about who is mayor pete is having wine with, they care about how i have never lost an election, they care about how i met one man in southwestern iowa this morning whose father was a coal miner, i said to him, he was the best person in the state, and his name is....uh, styson!! I told him "my grandpa worked in the mines in Ely for most of his life, i have never lost an election, i know how to do it Wolf."

yeah she's awful

Why didn't the NYT editorial board interview Michael Bennet or John Delaney? They acknowledge that James Bennet "has recused himself from any involvement in the 2020 elections" because Michael Bennet is his brother, but then they didn't bother seeking an interview? (They also mention that Bloomberg, Castro, and Gabbard were invited but declined.) It can't simply be based on polling because they interviewed Deval Patrick, whose polling is as dismal as Bennet's and Delaney's.

maybe they were worried about falling asleep on camera

The latest episode of The Weekly (with the NYT endorsement) is up on Hulu now

They acknowledge that James Bennet "has recused himself from any involvement in the 2020 elections" because Michael Bennet is his brother

I suspect he'll be free to release himself from this commitment after the conventions are over.

Well.

well if there’s one thing the reporting has borne out it’s that klobuchar is willing and able to beat people

great job

jeez

The endorsement: "The senator from Minnesota is the very definition of Midwestern charisma, grit and sticktoitiveness."

NYT ed board member Michelle Cottle on The Weekly: "What she is short on is charisma and inspiration."

"The senator from Minnesota is the very definition of Midwestern charisma, grit and sticktoitiveness."

this is the funniest possible outcome

for one thing one of their endorsees keeps going after the other one: http://www.startribune.com/sen-amy-klobuchar-trains-fiercest-attacks-on-front-runner-elizabeth-warren/563180472/

We worry about ideological rigidity and overreach, and we’d certainly push back on specific policy proposals, like nationalizing health insurance or decriminalizing the border.

Good to know.

what the fuck

this is so dumb

lmao

good to know their hopper with the ping pong balls is working anyway

i know i've overestimating the influence of this endorsement, but i am just trying to imagine warren and klobuchar being on the same plane and wtf. on any level, they are not equal to each other. pretty embarrassing for biden, too. fuck, i'd expect mayor pete before amy fucking klobuchar. what a joke

it’s...

perfect

so the NYT endorsed Bernie?

this is what will inspire record democratic turnout, they call her the keeper of the holy grail of charisma; she keeps a decoy in minneapolis, the real thing in st paul. amy klobuchar! i watch her speak on television with the sound off and i don't what she is saying, i only know that i believe her. she's just that kind of leader, amy klobuchar. i am with amy klobuchar. she has never lost an election, and her grandfather worked in the coal mines. All while near the source of the greatest river this country has every known. amy klobuchar for president, 2020!!

it's like when Sabbath took Bob Seger on the road

This is some stupid shit.

Vote for someone! Or IDK, maybe vote for somebody else, whatever....

lol they love the play they got from dragging this “story” out for a week huh

Bob Seger >> Sabbath at that point though

I like that the NYT has endorsed the two women left in the race

Incredible that they did all this just to embarrass the shit out of Mayor Pete with the price fixing video.

So there was a vote of the whole board, and the top 4 was Warren, Klobuchar, Booker, and Buttigieg. Then apparently Kathleen Kingsbury went away and made the final decision.

lol @ Sanders not even registering

holy shit @ this
"Basket-case governments in several nations south of the Rio Grande have sent a historic flood of migrants to our southern border."
