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

On the morning a new CNN poll shows Sanders leading among women and democratic voters of color another piece on the bros https://t.co/rgocLmVSJ5

somehow i had missed this fun lawsuit:

Presidential candidate and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is suing former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for defamation. The $50 million lawsuit centers on remarks that Clinton made recently when she suggested that one of the 2020 Democratic candidates was being groomed for a third-party run and that he or she was a “Russian asset.” Clinton never singled out Gabbard by name.

of course, clinton was obviously referring to bernie

fascinating: CNN asked if Dems wld feel enthusiastic-or-satisfied vs disatisfied-or-upset if a candidate won

Biden: 72% vs 26% (upset: 9%)
Sanders: 77% vs 23% (upset: 10%)
Warren: 72% vs 24% (upset: 7%)

For Nov., this isn't the splintered party we read about, incl. for Sanders.

b-b-but Sanders voters will switch to Trump, i read it on the Twitter

sanders and sanders supporters are perfect and if anyone is criticizing them it's bc they love oppression and capitalism and want to kill and drink the blood of hungry babies

it's true, americans are voting to elect sanders supporters

there are good people on both sides

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is suing former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for defamation

This is straight out of Trump's playbook.

SOMEBODY in this room of a dozen people is an asshole!

*one of the dozen people immediately filed a defamation lawsuit in response*

Bernie: I’m scared of getting this heart transplant.

Tom Steyer: It’s ok, I’ll be here after your surgery.

*Bernie wakes after surgery and sees a nurse*

Bernie: Where is Tom Steyer? He said he’d be here.

Nurse: Who do you think gave you the heart?

Bernie: Yeah, good. Ok.

Finally we have our own PLEASE CLAP

Buttigieg pleads with silent crowd in Iowa to cheer for him: “come on” pic.twitter.com/7HA2Tj2AKS

it was posted upthread but y'know what it's still the thing that's brought me the most joy today

come on!

It even looks like the same scene as Jeb's.

Butt!

omg

the bizarre ascending laugh thing at the end

can someone make a butt! logo

xp: for a second I had hope that he was going to grace us with a truly Marissa Mayer-caliber laugh. Close, but not quite there.

those poor Iowans just wanted a warm place to sit down and digest their big breakfasts and now they're getting screamed at by some pretty boy who never owned a pig in his life

imo this isn't as humiliating as "please clap" because Buttigieg was at least asking the audience a question

fair

still lolled though

Mayor Pete needs to bring out the big guns......

welp

congratulations, President Biden

ok now an edit of the mayor pete video where he says "come on!" and the crowd clapping is replaced with "whywhywhywhywhywhy"

not gonna lie, watching trump and biden attempting to debate each other while also sundowning catastrophically would be funny in a ‘one last laugh before the end of the world’ kinda way

a, e, i, o, u, andsometimeswhywhywhywhywhywhy

@brad you'll have to settle for this for now

you ever feel as if your mind had started to erode?

Donald, you're just jealous nobody wants to say hi to you.

Impeachment is forever bye.
That has to hurt. https://t.co/K8sqcLATZr

a billionaire fool and his money are foooorrrrrevvvvveeerrrrr.

now i wanna know if a billionaire has ever gone bankrupt, and if not, who it will be.

If you convert 1929 dollars into 2020 dollars, then Ivar Kreuger would probably meet the criteria of a billionaire going bankrupt. Then he killed himself.

I think Trump is banking on nabbing a few Sanders supporters if Biden wins

the primary i mean

during the last debate steyer gave an answer that sounded positively bernie-esque and he was pretty hands off all night iirc

he probably just knows he isn't going to peel off any bernie voters so there's no point in going after him right now, but for a brief moment i thought............he's shooting for that VP pick

Bernie/Tom 2020 Best Friends Forever Please Ignore That I'm A Billionaire

A good way to get on camera is to stand near the front runner.

"Impeachment is forever bye" <-- I thought for a second this was the Gravel Twitter account

Donald, you're just jealous nobody wants to say hi to you.

no shortage of people who want to say heil tho

well well well

Good for Sanders. As Nate Silver pointed out yesterday, his early state polling was lagging his national polling, and it really wasn't clear if one was right and one was wrong.

get a load of that klobmentum tho

I would be extremely worried if I was Sanders and I wasn't leading in NH

otm

although NH is traditionally much more conservative than Vermont

They still hate MA so any other New England candidate should be getting a hometown boost
