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

So, where was Biden actually arrested?

To be fair, to stop or check forward progress of is the second dictionary definition of arrest.

Maybe Mondale can push for drafting the corpse of his old mentor Humphrey -- '68 is here again!

That Times article embarrassingly ends with some dumbass rep, Don Beyer (Va.) 'imagining' a draft of "Mark Warner, Chris Coons, Nancy Pelosi..." This is the "pragmatic" wing speaking.

xpost -- this is no time to be fair

old retired guys are probably the only ones willing to say crap like this to the Times

lol, wondering what the response on this thread would be if warren had signed a NDA with a former consultant over racial discrimination

Mondale the last old school New Deal coalition lib to earn a nomination, so he can put his comments where my heart oughta be.

Don Beyer otoh is only 69 and has served as the United States Representative for Virginia's 8th congressional district since 2015. The district is located in the heart of Northern Virginia and includes Alexandria, Falls Church, and Arlington.

Tomboto, write a letter

too bad some superdelegates didn't deny him the achievement of losing 49 states

Come on Morbs don’t accuse Tombot of living in Virginia!

don't tell me this dossier is badly sourced

70% of what is in jaymc.xlsx is true

Is Luna running for prez

we could start a SuperPAC for Bernie. The internet is telling me it is very easy.

Time to add Walter Mondale to the “people you thought were dead but aren’t” thread.

oh no, he is dead.

has technically lived longer than Herbert Hoover w/out being president

Pete: “Where I come from, we’re not purists about these things. Obviously, salsa is salsa, and ranch is ranch.

But if someone’s gonna mix them up, I’m not above dipping a tortilla chip in and enjoying the mix of flavors.”

Huge scandal. Pete must drop out.pic.twitter.com/vrDopLlhlt

Everybody seems pretty otm: Klobuchar.

for real. This was my biggest takeaway.

https://www.gq.com/story/chris-matthews-experience

In 2017, I wrote a personal essay about a much older, married cable news host who inappropriately flirted with me in the makeup room a few times before we went live on his show, making me noticeably uncomfortable on air. I was afraid to name him at the time for fear of retaliation from the network; I’m not anymore. It was Chris Matthews. In 2016, right before I had to go on his show and talk about sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump, Matthews looked over at me in the makeup chair next to him and said, “Why haven’t I fallen in love with you yet?”

When I laughed nervously and said nothing, he followed up to the makeup artist. “Keep putting makeup on her, I’ll fall in love with her.”

Another time, he stood between me and the mirror and complimented the red dress I was wearing for the segment. “You going out tonight?” he asked.

I said I didn’t know, and he said—again to the makeup artist—“Make sure you wipe this off her face after the show. We don’t make her up so some guy at a bar can look at her like this.”

This is simultaneously unsurprising and super upsetting

what a shithead

Uh, how is it that republicans are more otm re: Bloomberg than democrats?

"He makes Cheeto MAD"

FLASH: Bloomberg currently has no TV ad spending booked beyond Super Tuesday

in 2020 we get flashed by news

how hard is it to book more tv ads at short notice when you have a bottomless bucket of money?

I think that’s the news - perhaps he’s getting out of the race.

Which would be worse for Bernie, I think

I don’t know where ex-Bloomberg votes go, but they don’t go to Sanders

So far nobody has even had the opportunity to vote for Bloomberg and it remains to be seen if a meaningful number of people actually will when it comes down to it so

my guess is ex-Bloomberg voters will spend some time in the purgatory of "undecided" and then apportion themselves among Biden, Buttigeig, and Klobuchar for seemingly random reasons.

I think that’s the news - perhaps he’s getting out of the race.

My assumption is all this means is he's adopting a "wait and see" tack before he dives back into the interest he "earned" over the last few hours.

I think any interest he gets here will be decidedly unearned

Not good

Hope everyone's ready for JOE BIDEN THE COMEBACK KID narrative that's going into full effect tomorrow

Unless Trump supporters ratfuck him into second place, which would be hilarious

Bloomberg's going to save his pennies for his third party run

Hope everyone's ready for JOE BIDEN THE COMEBACK KID narrative that's going into full effect tomorrow

A significant # of ppl will already have voted in the Super Tuesday races, yes?

I’ve already voted for March 10th!

Just confirmed my ballot has been received and counted. I’m LOCKED IN, narrative be damned

Warren on Hayes' show now; he's asking about the super PAC
