2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[Robbie3000]

Liz should have had more courage and ran in 2016 when she had the juice.

Hell Bernie tried to recruit her to run but she was scared of the Clinton machine.

Bernie ran instead and claimed his rightful place as the progressive people’s champ.

Now her and her followers are crying about it. The entitlement.

And NO ONE is bringing up the fact he's UNDERPERFORMING compared to 2016 by every metric.

This is literally a lie. One of the most important metrics is # of states won. He is 3/3 in 2020 (popular vote) and that is better compared to 2016.

These people keep pointing to the fact that Bernies raw % number is lower than it was in 2016, but want to ignore that there are many more candidates this time around. Apparently winning Nevada with 46% in a big field is worse than losing a 2 man race with 47% (2016) because the number is smaller. BeRnIe LoSt SuPpOrTeRs!

Surely. The last 2 democratic presidents were “the 1st Black President” Bill Clinton then an actual Black President.

Clinton was the first black President and then Obama was the first gay President

compare a two person race to 7+ people race.

They said Bernie doing worse when he lost Nevada last time

Thats precisely the point.

He's been running for 5 years. Whats his excuse?

As a woman Nap, do you share her feelings?

Bernie is winning the same way Trump won in 2016. With less than a majority of votes.

He's had 5 years.

It went from Liz saying"Me and Amy, the women in this race, are the only ones winning elections." to her supporters now saying that Warren isn't being treated fairly because she is a woman.

I like Warren and would vote for her if the situation was flipped and she was the frontrunner instead of Sanders. She'd make a great president. That being said: she isn't the frontrunner, she has no path to victory and people need to accept that.

Yep, people are crying sexism when, the reality is that unfortunately for warren, she came in sharing a lane with Sanders who had an established base going in. Most of her supporters are the portion of Sanders supporters from 2016 who went to her. Otherwise, all the hillary primary voters are going with other candidates.

I like Warren, but as said her time was in 2016, and given she passed and Bernie came in during that time, now she is a bit late. She should have ran in 2016 and its a shame she didn't. In retrospect, its disgraceful we only had 2 people to choose from in 2016 and if I remember correctly until Sanders picked up a bit of steam, the environment was such that Hillary was running unopposed and anointed as the nominee before any sort of contest really took place.

Where do you live?

A democrat cannot win in most of the USA with a socialist label.

I live in philly and will involve myself personally in taking back my state.

Dont worry about us rajit, you just better not forget to #VoteBlueNoMatterWho #DefeatTrump

 

[OfTheCross]

This is what you want every democrat who barely won in 2018 to face.

You don't give a fukk about helping the party.

This is a sanders personality cult.

Kelly is up tho

RealClearPolitics - Election 2020 - Arizona Senate - McSally vs. Kelly

Latinos obviously love Bernie. And AZ has a lot of Latinos if I'm not mistaken.


It doesn't matter who the Democrats run. They always get accused of being too liberal and socialism

Because unlike you the rest of us can count. It was 3 people in 2016. It's 6 to 7 people in 2020. Of course, the numbers aren't gonna be that high. Doesn't change the fact that he's won all 3 states though.

He's had 5 years.

And now he is president. Your candidate won the majorities in some states and is sitting at home in upstate NY.

I was never on SOHH.

Black politicians secretly hate sanders.

They know his framework kills their careers and gives republicans massive gains.

Now nap is throwing black politicians under the bus.
