2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[Cognito]

Money.

He’s bought endorsements. He’s bought more ads than Hillary spent on all of 2016.

This is like shid that goes on in African countries

And the same people who say Bernie’s not a Democrat! Are moving to the former Republican Mayor of NY. Who spoke at Bush and McCain’s conventions.

Yeah that's because most Dems would rather work with non far right Republicans than SocDems.

Schumer likes Peter King who is a known piece of garbage

This makes no sense whatsoever. Consildating the progressive vote is the best thing for a progressive to actually win according to what you're saying

It makes sense that all liz supporting "progressives" are hoping to get from her campaign is a split progressive vote.

Snakes inc

smh...yall really cant think in any other mode than "it's all about bernie". liz doing well, but not eclipsing him, sets it up that if she drops out, he's very likely the person she endorses and can influence her delegates that way. it's already been shown her voters and his aren't the same, so if she were to drop out now, that actually leaves progressive strength worse off as her voters can go anywhere as opposed to her "gifting" her delegates to bernie on behalf of all her voters.

right now, just on pure polling, moderate candidates have 48% of the total as compared to 38% between her and bernie (41% if we just give yang's support to bernie). but like i said, please keep hoping for her downfall.

If the billionaires want to cock block Bernie might as well stop funding Pete/Biden

The fact that they could easily win if they all just teamed up and bought off all the endorsements for one candidate, but can't because they're all a bunch of psychotic self centered egomaniacs, is one of my favorite things about this election so far.

You don’t know what you want you call Bernie a communist once And voted for Gary JohnsonAnd voted for Gary Johnson

he is a communist ill still vote for him. i dont think his agenda will actually get through congress, so that far left stuff doesnt worry me

and yea, i voted for gary johnson. but i also live in a blue state, and my vote didnt matter. and for the record, i see a lot of posters in here saying they'll stay home in 2020 if the democrat is someone they dont want/not their nominee. posters far more respected than i

like dudes are talking about they wouldnt vote for buttigieg, im surprised to see that if his opponent was trump? ill vote for him

I think that's the thought behind a lot of Bernie's social media advocates hate for Warren. They think if she loses her voters randomly in blocks is just going to support Bernie. For me personally Bernie is close to the least likely for me to support next

 

[R. Money]

This mothafukka is winning every state except Iowa now!

Y'all said Biden had it on lock!

Y'all said Buttman could take it away!

Y'all said Warren was about to put a huge feather in her cap (from her other cap made of feathers)!

What's the appeal of Bloomberg?

At least with Biden I can understand the name recognition and association with Obama. Why go for Bloomberg? Is it just due to him spamming commercials?

at thinking its due to commercials

people can think for themselves

maybe its because bloomberg is the best candidate to beat trump and take him on head to head due to his experience. he's been in this fight for so long and he isnt afraid of the gun lobby.

wait a second

i'll say this: there's few things i can think of that will really burn trump's soul when it comes to his 2020 opponent, but one thing would be running against someone who's richer than trump is it would take some wind out of his sails

bloomberg is clearly a cocksucker, but i think he could reasonably reform his image and platform to go against trump

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

You elect Bloomberg your basically electing Tom Cotton in 2024..which makes it 3 republicans in a row.

Military doesn’t provide domestic security?

Yes. But the budget item is bloated. You think we need to allocate more to Defense?

Surprised they hadn't manufactured a young Trudeau type who is faking they are progressive but actually establishment/centrist
Pete went mask off immediately

The parallels to the GOP primary of 4 years ago is spooky

Defense spending as percentage of GDP has actually been going down since 2009

Can’t believe I forgot about this
