END TO END BERNERS: The Official Bernie Sanders 2020 Crew thread

Biden isn't dropping out

― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles),

Maybe, maybe not, I don't see him lasting the primaries tho

I can imagine a scenario where he has some key losses, plummets in the polls, and drops, but I think it's hard to say that's very likely at the moment.

he has nowhere to go but down imo. every month his support erodes.

I actually think it's more likely Bernie drops, but I think it's basically a 3-way toss up between Sanders, Warren, and Biden at this point.

bernie has a higher floor than most but a lower ceiling. bidens floor could fall out. he's dropped about 25 points of his national poll advantage in 4.5 months with another 4 months until iowa.

Its not so much about Biden's support, as his performance. His cognition is surely going to be an issue. Getting away with it so far by coasting on saying as little as he can get away with. But going through the primaries is a big ask

A lot of wishful thinking that Biden would drop out. The guy was VP for eight years and now it's right within his grasp. He believes it's his to lose.

I doubt he's drop out even after a string of early defeats :(

he'd

it’s definitely interesting and worth debating hypotheticals that no one has any real info on tho 👍🏻

^ mods, new board descrip pls

not so much wishing that Biden drops out as that he's crushed to death by a block of frozen airplane effluent

it’s definitely interesting and worth debating hypotheticals that no one has any real info on tho 👍🏻

i guess lock all politics threads

good idea

i think the foreign-policy case for bernie over warren is much, much stronger and much, much more substantive than the theory-of-change case https://t.co/gSPVNMUakT

I'd give him the edge over Warren in FP, yeah, but his own history is fraught too. It's a draw. I tend to think presidents truly become awful as soon as they realize they can kill people.

Advertising Analytics, an ad tracking firm, confirmed to POLITICO that the Sanders campaign canceled the entirety of its recently scheduled ad buy in Iowa on broadcast television. The Sanders campaign had announced a $1.3 million ad buy on Monday in the state, and it was set to begin on Thursday.

i would be okay with bernie dropping out and putting his full weight behind warren, then coming on as secretary of treasury

the Iowa thing is ominous, OTOH ppl seem generally to recover from this procedure pretty quickly so :shrug:

i would ok with warren dropping out and writing recipes for pow wow chow full time.

Ad buy like that might come with terms allowing some rescheduling? I don't think they'd just let it go up in smoke. The Iowa caucus isn't until February.

i can totally see a path to Warren winning the election, which i assume means she would lose

jeez guys a man is DYING here

is he??

do not feed the Irishman

Nat'l candidates w/ heart issues: Eisenhower won re-election after a serious heart attack. Cheney suffered his 4th heart attack just before becoming VP and serving for 8 years. Bush 41 was diagnosed w/ irregular heartbeat in office. Bill Bradley was sidelined in '99 for same.

see, everything is fine

incumbent, vice-president, incumbent who lost, dem candidate that did not win primary

Shit, the media’s gonna have a fuckin field day with this one. I bet there’s confetti and champagne at the Politico offices today.

writing recipes for pow wow chow

they were not 78 when their shit happened. This worries the fuck out of me.

xp: Back in 2012, a cookbook title Pow Wow Chow surfaced with several recipes attributed to Warren that were plagiarized from other sources. A quick Google shows the only people really talking about it are bullshit right-wingers.

yikes

Yeah yikes, its really not a good luck for Warren. call me whatever you want though. but maybe don't come into the room saying drop out and support my candidate immediately after the news drops that Bernie is having health problems.

call me whatever you want though

you're the mythical bernie bro

Yeah yikes, its really not a good luck for Warren. call me whatever you want though. but maybe don't come into the room saying drop out and support my candidate immediately after the news drops that Bernie is having health problems.

Interesting that The Pow Wow Chow cookbook was edited by Warren's cousin
