If you’re Castro or Booker, how embarrassing is it to be knocked out before Yang. Those guys are professional politicians, and they get knocked out by Yang!
Is anyone watching the debate tonight? My wife is out of town, so I can scream “Bullshit!”, “Fuck you!”, “No fucking way will that ever fly!” all I want. My dogs might think I’m nuts, however...
By the u/c report vids floating around the webs today, it better be Sanders who gets the nod OR ELSE.......Milwaukee is gonna burnnnnn!!!!
Shit. I did that same thing to a 42" while my mom was here. They looked at me like I was crazy. Told them to lighten up, it's just a t.v.
My bet: In the midst of the final DNC selection, one of the current candidates will not back down (Part 1). Yes, this would spell more defeat in the election (using logic) -- but they are driven by feelings, fake polls, and the constant urge to deny facts....including the results of their own primaries (claiming, racism, corruption, or other). The MSM coverage will fan the flame as they are programmed to create a Jerry Springer atmosphere of promoting their agenda & opinion as news. Not smart on their part either, but they are cut from the same cloth. Their inability to accept defeat is well proven. And then Part 2 will happen after the general election.
I actually just googled to see if he'd died & I had somehow missed it... but apparently Al Gore is still alive. Why has't he thrown his inconvenient hat into the ring?
If you're suggesting that a politician would be prevented from running for office if they have gone on record with falsehoods, I think that you've missed the past.... 2020 years or so. Probably more than that!
I'm sticking with my Deval Patrick theory. He's in the game but he's not making any waves or headlines. Obama backs him close to the end and he looks like the next Obama. And there will be no bad news clips to show or promises to be kept or anything to argue against. Just another hopey-changey kind of candidate with no scandals or lies. And he's black. That's a big deal when the Democrat candidates are blindingly white.
So... this seems a fitting thread what with the word ""bet"" in the thread title. A lefty friend of mine and I have agreed in principle to place a wager on the outcome of the 2020 presidential race. The concept (the details of which we haven't yet fully nailed down) is that either I'll fund a kiva.org account with a dollar amount equivalent to the number of electoral college votes the dem candidate beats Trump by, or vice versa. Another possibility is that we'll each agree to fund a co-managed account with each of us contributing a dollar amount equivalent to the number of electoral college votes the others' candidate wins. No matter what, there will be a small pool of funds available to help some third world folks pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. Who doesn't want that? Pass this notion on, if you will. Thanks.
