Is Bernie Sanders Now The 2020 Frontrunner?
He is according to David Pakman. Even if/when Biden announces his bid, could he just end up another Jeb Bush? (Please clap)

Re: Is Bernie Sanders Now The 2020 Frontrunner?
Polls have Biden as the leader, but Biden hasn't declared. In about a 12 person race he is in second place and has a very loyal following.
He has the socialist crowd locked up. His problem is, most Democrats are supporting someone else and as the 12 whittle down to 2 or 3, he's not going pick up the support if those that supported ones that dropped out.
While his politics are different than Ron Paul, he's similar as he's an outsider in his own party that cant get a majority in his party to support him.
And Smelly and the Devil are correct that Sanders is the guy team Trump wants. I dont see that happening.

Team Trump is arrogant. Sanders polls extremely well against Trump. He did in 2016 too, better than Clinton (who, let's not forget, won the popular vote).
Biden leads. So did Jeb, for all the good it did him

Re: Is Bernie Sanders Now The 2020 Frontrunner?
Most independent observers are pretty certain Sanders would be about the worst choice for the Dems. Socialism doesn't sell well across the US. It does in small pockets.Eilzel wrote:Maddog wrote:Polls have Biden as the leader, but Biden hasn't declared. In about a 12 person race he is in second place and has a very loyal following.

I dont recall Jeb leading any polls, but I admit it's been 4 years and I cant remember who was leading the Republican polls back then.
Sanders isn't even a Democrat and if he actually poses a threat to win the nomination, the Democratic party will stop being as congenial as they are to the weirdo socialist that they tolerate for political expediency.
Nancy Pelosi doesn't want to have to explain why her parties nominee was singing the praises of the Soviet union and Castro well into his adult life.
Rest assured, the Republicans are ready to exploit every thing he did. They are already using Sanders and AOC to normalize Trump,

Socialist programs for essential services are not at all unpopular in the US. First, the present generation is not scared away by use of the term 'socialist', as was the case back in the 1950's. They see this fear as dad’s bug-a-boo, not their own. They witness the many socialist programs at work in other countries, like Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, the Scandenavian countries…and the very popular, Israel, and they say why not? Socialism is very workable once you lose yesterday’s stigma.
Second, we already have many socialist programs that work quite well in our own country. There is the beloved US military, the many police and fire responders, the ever-popular NASA, then there are social security, medicare and medicaid--very much in favor with the general population. Newer programs, like Obamacare, are proving quite in demand, answering an important need.
Sanders doesn't support socialism as a government, but he favors piecemeal programs that are socialist in structure. That’s important, because he doesn’t have to stand up for a whole principle…only for what works.
I don't see him losing too many votes as the field narrows down.

Re: Is Bernie Sanders Now The 2020 Frontrunner?
I'm interested in this. So I googled him.
Can a helpful American member make a list of all the people who want to run for POTUS in 2020 please.
Or maybe Thor could.
I like to be in the know.

Sanders supports the Democratic Socialists of America.
They call for the abolishment of privately owned corporations.
We are not talking Swedish capitalism here.

"We believe that the workers and consumers who are affected by economic institutions should own and control them."

That is not what happens in Sweden, nor is that concept supported by anyone outside of Sanders.

Trump in 2020 is going to redefine 'landslide loss' in America. He won't have Hillary to fuel the rebound-vote, and people have seen what a wimp, girly-boy he is in the wake of Helsinki.
He's already gone, as the Eagles say. The next two years will be Congress playing cat-and-mouse toy with him. Already, he's crying...did you see his tweets this morning?

But, the point is, Sanders is not the Democratic Socialists of America. 'Support' and 'being' are two different things.
And, the Democratic Socialists of America do not reject piecemeal socialism. That is Sanders' calling. So, you might say that the Democratic Socialists of America support Sanders, rather than the other way around.

No one predicted the Hillary backlash. But yes, I did predict her plurality...and she did win, by 3-million votes.

Yep, I speculated after the Bush debacle in 2000. America is not a democracy. Only the Congress reflects the will of the people. Congress is overwhelmingly Democratic, suggesting what I am saying: government is out of touch with the American people.

As a matter of fact, yes, I speculated after the Bush debacle in 2000. America is not a democracy. The electoral college can be fiddled with, as the Russians proved in 2016. And, of course, you know that the Senate is not proportional with population.
Only the Congress reflects the will of the people, and Republicans try to get away from that by gerrymandering. Congress is overwhelmingly Democratic today, suggesting what I am saying: government is out of touch with the American people.

I have zero problems with people who have different opinions, as there are many on here that have them.
I can respect them

thats coming from you quill
youre neck deep in trump derangemnt syndrome and are incapable of giving anything approaching sane or impartial where trump is concerned, you lose all cohesive thought at the mere mention of the man, you will forgive me if i take what you say with a pinch of salt especially since you dont speak on behalf of america, the only person you speak for is you.
i wish there was some way for us to bet, id bet an entire years salary against $1 that trump takes it, in fact i will be betting on trump taking it and ill make a mint.
you guys were saying the EXACT same thing last time, and you got dry bummed.
the very best hope you had was clinton and she didnt come close to bothering trump.

2016 was the perfect storm. A Clinton in opposition, and Russian collusion. It won't happen again that way in a million years.

it didnt happen that way in the first place
the investigaion has concluded and there is no collusion
clinton should have won, she was obamas number 2, she was a wamun,and she was very experienced, and she had the entire media industrial complex carrying water for her, she had big money coming in from all over the place including the saudis, there is simply no way trump should have won.
but he did, and why?? because obama and the democrats had been shitting all over ordinary americans, he promised obamacare and people got fucked, nothing obama did made americans better off, and everytime the average joe voiced a concern he got shouted down, called a racist called a bigot etc.
you said it yourself, the govt was out of touch with the public and thats why trump won
trump is in touch with the public and will win again, youre so far gone that you simply cannot process the fact that you and the rest of the democrats are on the exact same track you were before.
you guys will shit all over trump, you will shit all over his support base, you will shit all over any deplorable that dares to support him and you will ensure his victory
trump is going to win in 2020
i will keep saying it so no one can say i didnt call it.

I think this assessment is pretty accurate.
I liked Sanders last time but this time round, he is too old and too socialist and they have had to long to prepare a campaign against him, which is also too easy too do
they a better off with some younger blood, that is similar to Obama on the political divide

While his politics are different than Ron Paul, he's similar as he's an outsider in his own party that cant get a majority in his party to support him.
And Smelly and the Devil are correct that Sanders is the guy team Trump wants. I dont see that happening.
Team Trump is arrogant. Sanders polls extremely well against Trump. He did in 2016 too, better than Clinton (who, let's not forget, won the popular vote).
Biden leads. So did Jeb, for all the good it did him
I dont recall Jeb leading any polls, but I admit it's been 4 years and I cant remember who was leading the Republican polls back then.
Sanders isn't even a Democrat and if he actually poses a threat to win the nomination, the Democratic party will stop being as congenial as they are to the weirdo socialist that they tolerate for political expediency.
Nancy Pelosi doesn't want to have to explain why her parties nominee was singing the praises of the Soviet union and Castro well into his adult life.
Rest assured, the Republicans are ready to exploit every thing he did. They are already using Sanders and AOC to normalize Trump,
I think this assessment is pretty accurate.
I liked Sanders last time but this time round, he is too old and too socialist and they have had to long to prepare a campaign against him, which is also too easy too do
they a better off with some younger blood, that is similar to Obama on the political divide
I think you're buying into the corporatist bullcrap a little too much. Sanders polls incredibly well. And there is plenty to throw at Trump at this point too. The only reason Sanders didn't get to trounce Trump last time was he was less well-known and up against the Clinton-train.

Re: Is Bernie Sanders Now The 2020 Frontrunner?
Yeah, and unfortunately, running for president requires some personality. It's sort of a reality show. You have to sell yourself. Bernie appeals to very left leaning political junkies. He cant excite a bunch of independents that are just casual observers of the process. He reminds too many people of Doc, from back to the future.veya_victaous wrote:Maddog wrote:

For the record, he did get Shuan Kings endorsement yesterday. So that will give him a little cred against the black folks running (Booker and Harris). But I also think some blacks are getting tired of Shuan King and his bullshit. The Smollett fiasco made King look like a fool again.

The Obama administration was elected and reelected by record majorities. It was immensely popular with the public.
It's the Republicans who go outside the popularity bubble to win elections. Both Bush and Trump were appointed by the electoral college (or Supreme Court), having been defeated by a popular vote of the people. In addition, Republicans augment constitutional procedures with extralegal voter exclusion, gerrymandering and using any means of preventing voters of the other party from voting.
If you've been following discussions on another thread, the Republicans are a dying party, desperate to hang on any way they can. Ultimately, they would prefer to do away with democracy altogether.

im confused
you say on one hand that america isnt a democracy, but then say that this undemocratic way of electing leaders is "immensely popular with the public", but ten you complain about it not being democratic when trumps wins
even though every preseindet is elected on the same system its almost like you are saying
obama wins = a great day for democracy
trump wins = democracy is dead in the US
quick question, and im sure maddog will help us ot here if you dont want to, but has there ever been a democrat who lost the popular vote but won the electoral college and was elected to office???
just curious

The US is actually a Republic. We were never designed to be a pure democracy as that's the same as mob rule.
It's two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.

If Mueller has nothing, and that seems to be the general consensus, Trump is going to be difficult to beat.

One Democrat did - Samuel Tilden, in 1876. Three Republicans have won that way, and two of them since 2000.

you should go into the slogan business
first it was "trump will never be elected"
now its "Trump's going down in 2020, big time" (not sure how you will make a chant of that, but ok)
maybe at the end of his second term you can change your slogan to "what the fuck just happened i feel like i got trumped in the ass"

Trump has a very low approval rating and his party was thumped by the Democrats four months ago.

No, Andrew Jackson did it about 50 years prior.
