How embarrassing is it for Gillibrand to be lumped in with these nobodies?

I like to think Nintex mainlines Rush on I Heart Radio from the Netherlands.

Edit: it’s fucked up what Eric Holder did in this whole Nipsey thing. Might be worse than Barr, tbh.

With Joe possibly done, who do we reckon is the candidate with the best chance of actually beating Trump at this point? Obviously debates will change things, but I think Kamala might be the one with the most chance. Time to get in on the YAAS Queen 2.0 hypetrain.

No idea.

Always weird that so many people agreed on Biden being the best option for electability. He's run for president twice and didn't make it to New Hampshire either time!

shosta · « **Reply #33610 on:** April 02, 2019, 08:49:35 PM »

If Joe really wanted to, he could still YOLO this shit. At the time of Franken's resignation something like 48% of his constituents didn't think he needed to resign, and most of those were democrats.

Mandark · « **Reply #33611 on:** April 02, 2019, 08:56:39 PM »

I think "too handsy in public" isn't fatal for him for a few reasons, but it's a microcosm of the scrutiny and criticism he'll get if he runs that he'd avoid by just being an elder statesman and collecting speaking fees.

Also not sure if he groks how much the party has moved on certain things or how much he's willing to do an apology tour vs. defending his record. In 2008, his main brag at the debates was that he wrote the '94 crime bill.

Personally I think Bootyguy makes a great foil to Trump.

Young, charismatic, smart, takes pipe, fairly progressive, and not Bernie (whose platform I like, generally, but has a divisive brand in the Democratic Party). Biggest drawback is obviously he’s maybe a little TOO young, and has not so much experience.

He also has that non-corporate thing going. Pres is still a long shot, but I could see someone picking him up as VP.

A few months ago, I would have said that Kamala would be my choice, but I actually like her less and less the more I know about her. I also feel she made a right ass out of herself during the Kavanaugh hearings, by insinuating that she had new details during questioning but it turned out she was just bluffing.

Kunai With Chain · « **Reply #33613 on:** April 02, 2019, 09:35:47 PM »

It's all well and good winning the democratic primary with your progressive, identity politic shtick when you need the black and female vote. It's when you get into the generals and need to attract the white guys where the problem might be. After Trump win it seemed clear America has some more 'conservative' voters that need to be contested for than Hillary's people anticipated.

Which is why I personally thought Biden might have had the best chance just because he was an old white guy, centrist, with some old "school charm". Plus the Obama association having a knock on effect to boost his popularity. Seemed like a safe choice when going against a radical like Trump, basically similar to Hillary but without the off putting personality. At least before the creepy touch gate possibly sinked him.

Bootygig might be great and all, but he is gay. Would America elect a gay guy? I could see his homosexuality potentially driving even the afro and latino voters away, not to mention the white homophobes. Even Democrats have Jesus freaks in the base I'm sure.

If the Dems go with Buttigieg they have no one to blame but themselves for a 6 months of butt joke campaign from Donald J. Trump.
The only candidate that can win is the candidate that is not an establishment politician (Trump eats politicians for breakfast), not super wokeymon and in all honesty none of the humorless yassss queens.
Biden had a shot but with the creepy uncle Joe stuff that rules him out in the year of our lord 2019. Bernie is a too radical socialist. He would not have the "I prevented Clinton from becoming President" bonus that he would've had in 2016.
(where he was the ONLY likeable candidate on the Dem side)

However, in conclusion Andrew Yang is the only Democrat powerful enough to wield the power of memes and win the argument against Trump.
Because when Trump says jobs, he says $1000 a month. And when Trump says: "No can't do" he says: "Why not?" and Trump would have to present himself as someone who dislikes money and sides with the politicians.
Destroying his 'image' as the guy that likes and knows about money and turning it into a 'RINO dad' that wants to cut some abstract idea of 'spending' is just one of the many ways that Yang could take out Trump.

Trump doesn't have anything against Yang. He'd be the perfect candidate. Which is why the Democrats will pick someone else.

Whoever the Democrats run* that person will be depressed, exhausted and dragged through the mud by election day.
People seem to have forgotten that Trump at some point 'broke' Ted Cruz and made campaigning and the debates a living hell for Hillary Clinton and her family.

In fact Trump made the 2016 election a living hell for everyone involved, including his friends, family, staff, allies, opponents and at some point even himself.
2020 could well become the most unpleasant political campaign in history.

Quote

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, the Democratic presidential contender from Hawaii, told BuzzFeed News unequivocally she wants to decriminalize sex work, asserting a clear position on an enormous underground industry that’s largely ignored by American politicians.

“If a consenting adult wants to engage in sex work, that is their right, and it should not be a crime,” Gabbard said. “All people should have autonomy over their bodies and their labor.“
