I don't think people care about this type of stuff. Trump knew jack, Bush maybe less. Can't see anyone who was thinking of voting for her going "I won't vote for her now because she doesn't know who the president of Mexico is".

Because that's a coup. The idea that Trump wants to stay in office even if he loses isn't nonsensical, but the idea that he would be able to most definitely is. It's possible to envision a situation where a very contentious election is followed by Trump railing against voter fraud and stolen elections, leading to some protests and even a political assassination or two (patriot targeting traitorous liberals), but he can't just stay in office. It doesn't work that way. Even the most bootlicking GOP politician would be aware that supporting him in that would be actual, genuine treason, the consequences of which would at the very least kill their political careers, and more than likely see them all imprisoned.
In short: no.
Who gives a feck about prevailing narratives? Remember those heady days in history (IE every election cycle before this one) where if evidence came out that you were a horrible racist asshole that you were basically finished (as a Democrat at least)? Yet now we’re supposed to just go ‘ah well, we never used to think that about you, so oh well’?
You can see how much his answer hurts the souls of that panel. Good find.
Shades of Gary Johnson in this one
I don't even know how she is still in this race. Just so bland and nothing to her whatsoever.
Do you have proof for what you posted? Re read your ridiculous post.
Since her slide she has indicated she will double down on her lie by endorsing Klobuchar who is a mouthpiece of the fossil fuel industry, thereby letting her facade of being a progressive fall away.
btw CNN and MSNBC are propaganda mouthpieces of the DNC. They amplify its talking points.
So your answer to my question is whataboutism ?
And on your DNC talking points bit, please list some examples
Which state do you vote in ?
Agreed. Still pretty cringey though and will get played quite a bit in the coming cycles.
You had no proof for what you posted.
While Sanders was inclusive of all the candidates, Warren attacked his supporters and talked up Klobochar.
It was based on a conversation both people admit happened, albeit they disagreed on what was said.
Care to back this up with some links from credible sources ?
Raoul. Please reread what you posted. You can do better.
As for the speeches after NH, you can google as well as me.
You're the one who made the claim so maybe consider backing it up with some facts ?
I never said he would indefinitely I am saying the likelihood of democracy being upheld is very low and if its a close election in the dems favour. It will make Bush/Gore look tame in comparison. Mitch McTurtle etc will do anything to keep the GOP in power

Plus they run the SCOTUS. They are playing for at least one more justice since RBG can't hold out a full term. It will be as dirty a campaign as you can imagine.
I’ve been familiar enough with Nina Turner by seeing her referenced in this thread but I started watching videos of her more in depth and I must say I’m impressed. That woman takes absolutely zero shit and I can see why some on here think she’d be Sanders’ VP.
All this talk about POTUS, what are the senate races in play? Projections on chances of a Dem majority? Sanders in the WH is meaningless if Mitch still runs the show.
"desperate last gasps attempts to label bloomberg a racist"
You should hear the Democratic moderates opinion of her over on Democratic Underground, it’s colourful.
So what is Bloomberg’s endgame? Let’s say he wins the presidency having poured millions (maybe billions) into buying his way there - what does he want to achieve? Is it just the prestige factor/proving a point? Or does he actually have specific policies (good or bad) that will justify the financial outlay/make the money back for him?
He's an old, rich, white man who likes the idea of being President, and he feels he's got it coming.
His goal will be maintain that centrist, pragmatic politics that worked so badly for the many ,and that ushered in the likes of Trump.
This rhetoric, however unlikely, is dangerous though. It would admit we’ve completely given up on the American experiment.
The Dems just have to win the electoral college, by one point or many. Whether that is truly democracy is almost irrelevant at this point. But to cave to the craven old men in charge now when the fight has barely started is unacceptable.
All about the power my man.
The left has already lost the judiciary. Another four years of Trump and the electoral maps will be fully controlled and getting lefties purged from voting lists will be accelerated. It's done.
Same could be asked for almost anyone running for president. You don't get there by not wanting power.
For Bloomberg's and his fans perspective "if he can make billions, be a good mayor of nyc then this guy knows what hes doing and he can guide this nation to an economic boom without being a crazy man like trump. It would benefit us all".
Not a Bloomberg fan but questioning his motives makes no sense. Every candidate wants power because they believe they can be of greater good.
shout out to the between 10 and 46% of dems who believe that both bernie and bloomberg share their values
If you’ve successfully achieved a life that gives you basically everything in the world, I guess getting your name in the history books for all time is probably a nice added extra.
Your circle is incredibly fringe and if you honestly think otherwise your brain is poisoned by cable news.
Non-fringe circles have spent years not knowing who Bloomberg is, beyond, at best, knowing he was mayor of New York. They have not been respecting him. That's just CNN.
Bloomberg is a New York liberal who will pivot to the center once elected.
If we are trying to find out who is telling the truth, look at motives and actions.
Who we believe is unimportant.
Just try and get to the facts.
Both claim to be Progressives with some differences of course.
If policies are the driving factor her actions do not support the policies she is pushing.
In her speech she chose to embrace someone who stands against progressive policies.
Medicare For All and Climate Change.
Then there is the pattern of lying. Lying about her own background for starters.
So you have to ask what her true interests are.
In contrast Sanders actually encouraged her to run for office and only ran in 2016 when she chose not to.
...seem to have heard this before.
The end game appears to be peeling off enough delegates in the primaries to where no candidate can reach the amount needed to nominate, then force a brokered convention where party elites decide who the nominee is. That is the low probability best case scenario he is probably banking on.
Is not Sanders method of getting his message across geared to social media?
He is not depending on MSM.
