2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[StatUS]

Why exactly is the Democratic establishment so worried about Sanders winning the nomination?

They seem to be as against him as the Republicans were against Trump.

But he's not a lunatic like Donald. What are they afraid of?

Sanders is advocating a move from what the status quo in Washington has been since the 80s. They were scared of Trump because he's stupid but they knew he wouldn't change how things work. Sanders comes in and they're not gonna have that power anymore. And they know he can't be controlled by them (trust they have tried for 30 years) and it frightens them.

They aren't "afraid", most dems hope to find a candidate that is closer to being a centrist that will appeal to moderate independents and some Republicans.

No.

The big money behind all of these politicians would be negatively affected by what Sanders is pushing

Yes.

 

[Cheddar Biscuits]

It doesn't matter if Bloomberg or Biden wins NC. Neither of them are going to get anywhere close to Bernie's total delegates. The establishment's goal right now is to force a brokered convention where superdelegates can choose whoever the 2nd place nominee is in July.
Seeing as how it's looking like Bernie's gonna sweep Super Tuesday, they're going to need rig a lot more elections than just Iowa to make that happen.

 

[No1]

He won’t.

He does well in controlled, rehearsed environments but I can see Trump bullying him.

You need someone who will more or less tell him to the shut the fukk up.

This is ignorant but Pete like 5’6 or 5’7. That man will look ridiculous standing next to Trump.

That's why they fukk wit him so much

 

[No1]

But thats a good thing for the people right

Yeah, but bad for the consultancy class.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Honestly, Pete is doing well. People will buy what he’s selling.

What is he selling tho?

 

[Serious]

Yeah, but bad for the consultancy class.

Good then.

 

[No1]

What is he selling tho?

Diet Coke Obama.

 

[duncanthetall]

What the fukk does this even mean

Trump isn’t exactly runway ready himself

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

What is he selling tho?

Warm and fuzzy feelings combined with a youthful appeal.

I think we often overrate how little the average American cares or understands actual policy.

He ultimately won’t get anywhere because of the black vote but his delivery is going to resonate with a certain group.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Diet Coke Obama.

I don’t see the obama comparisons down to being no where as inspirational. Like I’m really baffled where y’all are getting this..shyt feels like y’all passed me a Britney Sprears CD saying it’s close enough to Mary J Blige
