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

“He is one of the most admirable people I’ve ever known,” said James Carville, the legendary Democratic strategist, who has thrown his support behind the presidential campaign of Sen. Michael F. Bennet (Colo.). “But he’s never been a good candidate. This is not his first rodeo, and he ain’t roped a cow yet.”

Wait, who?

lol!

xp

lot of surreality in this article https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2020/02/11/trail-with-joe-biden-what-happens-when-electability-candidate-starts-lose/

it does actually look like klobuchar might be in a fight for second place with 3500 votes in

biden gonna be 5th in this thing.

Can't wait for his new emails.

"Can you spare $5? It's not for the campaign."

Camaro hood flame decals ain't free, yo

"You can I borrow a thin, Jack? You know, a dime?"

excuse me, I think you mean FIREBIRD

"Help me understand why I'm not welcome at my niece's wedding"

Yang is out

Yang is dropping out

Yang out

lmao my bad

yang is out

reddit may never recover

The memelords can return home to /r/thedonald

It's looking like the end of the road for the Yang Gang, which sucks because now I don't know how I'm going to make the $1k monthly payments on the beemer I bought when he announced his candidacy.

I see I was not the first to note this either

It occurs to me that we could’ve had Adrian Fenty running instead of Buttigieg but I suppose he lost his taste for politics entirely after technocracy proved less popular than corruption in DC

Reason To Believe PAC -- a super PAC supporting Deval Patrick -- spent over $1.8 million on advertising in New Hampshire. Patrick currently has 93 total votes with about 20% in.

It was worth it to feel something

gonna have to redevaluate his campaign strategy

literally could have just gone door to door offering $10,000 a vote and would have been a more affordable strategy

just learned that yang is dropping out, thought you folks might like to know

Yang couldn't hang.

...mang

Bennet out too

Warren no doubt done after this

According to MSNBC's exit poll, 6 out of 10 Democrats said a woman would have a harder time winning against Donald Trump.

Way too early for VP talk, I know, but try and stop me...If Sanders does win the nomination, I think Harris is the near-perfect pick. She doesn't help electorally, but in every other way, I think she'd help.

he is not going to pick harris

I'd never say anything with certainty anymore, but probably not (and he has to win first).

bernard will win

bise otm x2

looks like James Carville, the legendary Democratic strategist, backed the wrong horned frog

Steyer seems to be angling hard for the VP nod, but if any of the current candidates get it, I assume it would be Warren.

"I have a devoted following who will be enthusiastic about me in the general and not enthusiastic about anyone else. How can I kill that enthusiasm fast?"

i think the short list is warren, castro, maybe gillum

I knew the post wouldn't go over well, so last thing I'll say: he'll need more than that devoted following to win a general election. And I don't think the devoted following would abandon him if he picked Harris.

no he doesnt, the devoted following is good as hell

I'm not sure what clemenza means by devoted following, but, yeah, dull, m bison, of course he needs more people. I don't know what you're arguing.

Vote Barney Sanchez 2020

nina turner comes up in vp talk but a lot of people seem to just outright hate her

sanders picking harris is totally ridiculous

lot of bernie people seem to think warren dropping out would be a big boost to him but i think her remaining supporters could just as likely latch onto buttigieg, or klob given her performance tonight

and lot of people in general seem to think she would endorse him but i don't think that's even close to a given... would imagine literally all the other candidates would be willing to offer a lot for her endorsement

I'm not sure what clemenza means by devoted following, but, yeah, dull, m bison, of course he needs more people. I don't know what you're arguing.

im being glib, im def for expanding his base. i dont think harris is the best choice. im angling for castro bc (a) need young progressives on the national stage (b) he didnt attack sanders (or warren) during his campaign and would make a good surrogate on the campaign trail (c) has record (preK4SA) of supporting public programs (d) porque san anto

She doesn't help electorally, but in every other way, I think she'd help.

What other ways are those?

A Warren/Castro ticket might've been my favorite, but, yeah, Sanders/Castro is rad.

(I actually don't think she'd be terrible tbh.xp)
