Democratic Primary Thread: The Deuce

I have an unrelated question. Why are all of the ads on this web page on my iPhone in Spanish? It’s also on YouTube. Don’t get me wrong, Spanish is a beautiful language and I hope one day to speak some. I just want to know que?

Looks like it's on for at least 3 and possibly 4 debates.

Thoughts?

I'll be shocked if Biden debates Trump. That dude B losin his mind.
Watch the last few seconds and not the topic and note what Biden said to this man.

What a joke if you think that makes a case for anything.

Trump's inability to read and pronouce simple words and phrases is now legendary. If the guy can barely read from a script you don't have a case for his ability to debate.

Trump is illiterate and a m@r@n

Here, feast on some of Trump's pronounciation gaffes. Enjoy your great leader's idiocy

Climate change is a good issue for Democratic candidates who should not shy away from strongly supporting it.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/poll-democrats-lead-in-north-carolina-arizona-senate-races_n_5f2b5a22c5b6b9cff7ece5bd

A new set of polls from a progressive group shows Democratic Senate challengers in North Carolina and Arizona with healthy leads over Republican incumbents in those states, while challengers in Iowa and Maine have small leads in toss-up races. 

The surveys from Data for Progress show Democrat Mark Kelly leading GOP Sen. Martha McSally, 47% to 38%, in Arizona, and Cal Cunningham leading Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, 49% to 41%, in North Carolina. 

Two races elsewhere are tighter. In Iowa, Democrat Theresa Greenfield is earning 45% of the vote to Republican Sen. Joni Ernst’s 43%. And in Maine, Democratic House Speaker Sara Gideon is leading now with 48% of the vote to 45% for Republican Sen. Susan Collins. 

The surveys also show former Vice President Joe Biden leading against President Donald Trump by 10 percentage points in Maine, with smaller leads in North Carolina and Arizona. In Iowa, Trump is polling at 46% of the vote and Biden is at 45%.

Data for Progress argues that its data shows all four Democratic candidates should put the fight against climate change at the center of their campaigns, saying that the message can appeal to swing voters with little downside. Republicans have a 52-48 advantage in the Senate, but Democrats have targeted six GOP-held seats as they seek to win control of both houses of Congress in November.

“To retire Mitch McConnell as majority leader, candidates in key Senate races must embrace a bold climate agenda around strong clean energy standards, robust federal investment, and centered in justice,” said Jamal Raad, a former top aide to Washington Gov. Jay Inslee who co-founded the advocacy group Evergreen Action. “Democratic candidates must take it to Trump and Senate Republicans on their weakest issue.”

The poll found 54% of likely voters in the four states surveyed said they would be more likely to support a candidate who wants to move the country to 100% clean electricity by 2035, and 56% said they would be more likely to back a candidate who wants to invest $2 trillion in clean energy jobs over the next four years. A plurality of voters surveyed wanted Congress to make fighting climate change a “Day 1 priority,” while a majority supported the latest version of Biden’s climate plan. 

Even when presented with Republican arguments, likely voters were still supportive of policies to battle climate change. Fifty-seven percent said they were more worried about “Republican politicians who protect corporate polluters,” while 43% said they worried about Democrats “beholden to environmentalists” who would raise taxes or kill jobs to stop climate change.

“There’s a common misconception that climate change is only a winning issue on the deep blue coasts,” said Julian Brave NoiseCat, Data for Progress’s vice president of policy and strategy. “Our polling shows that progressive climate action ― things like transitioning the electricity sector to 100% clean energy by 2035, not just some symbolic stuff around the Paris Agreement ― can help Democrats win the Senate in 2020. This marks a real turning point in the politics of the issue. And if Democrats can run on climate and win, they can pass laws and govern on it, too.”

I guess that's the thing, I feel like I have no idea what she'd actually do. I think with Rice you pretty much know what you are getting. But as I have said in the past, who eventually gets the nod isn't really a big issue to me. Just more something to casually talk about. But with Biden the possibility of him not surviving the term is on the table, so you have to consider that one of them could be president.

The VP pick will take on projects and do whatever the president directs her to do. With the mess Trump will leave behind, Biden/? will have their work cut out for them in righting a lot of wrongs.

Having a strong background in domestic policy will be a requirement for the VP pick, since she'll likely have to spend time on Capitol Hill convincing legislators to approve more funds for COVID-19, police reform, and other social issues. Harris' background in the Senate would be beneficial here, since Biden would be busy repairing foreign relationships. She would take over the Coronavirus Task Force from Pence, manage US response to the virus, promote unemployment funding for those still out of work, and more. This is not Susan Rice's wheelhouse.

I'd love to see Susan Rice as Secretary of State. The fact she's never been a candidate for anything and has virtually zero domestic policy experience concerns me. Still, I'd vote for Bozo The Clown over Trump!

Yes, Rice as SoS and Schiff as AG is what I'd like to see happen

Harris would have her hands full as VP. There is so much work to do and Biden would have a capable person on the Hill in Harris.

And Treasury Secretary Warren God willing.

I don’t think we can afford to take any Senate Democrats away from their Senate seats for fear of losing what will hopefully be a Democratic majority there.

This looks like fun. NY AG Leticia James just filed a civil suit to eradicate the NRA from the face of the earth.

This NRA dissolution lawsuit by Tish James is ballsy as fck and frankly amazing.

This is a direct attack at one of the beating hearts of the dark forces of American politics.

She did her homework and has all the outcomes mapped out in terms of possible future criminal referrals to the feds and the IRS.

I see this is a precursor to Trump being taken down by New York, because the NRA was Trump's BIGGEST SUPPORTER at $30M spent for Trump with still hundreds of millions more to the GOP.

One of the funding channels for the GOP is Russian money, i.e. Putin.

Putin purchased control of American democracy, much of that via the NRA's allocation of funds to superpacs controlled by people like McConnell.

So you're not going to see very much yet in the MSM about Tish James going after the NRA due to its Russian mob connections (which existed prior to 2016), but whether that comes out in public or not, make no mistake about it:

This indictment is about more than individual corruption at a non-profit and just putting the NRA out of business, it is also about uncovering any additional intel on the throughline from the Kremlin to the NRA to the GOP and Trump.

It would be great if this is the first shot across the bow to be followed by a grand jury handing down indictments against Trump, the Trump Org. and his family this Fall before the election.

By the time Biden names his cabinet we should know the outcome of the election. If there’s a healthy lead in the Senate, like let’s say 4-5 seat lead you can replace Warren knowing that eventually she’ll be replaced by another Democrat. The State House and Senate can also write rules limiting who the governor can choose to replace her in case you don’t trust a Republican Governor in a blue state.

I think it's a good idea and I'm pro 2nd amendment. However, this will be spun as "Dem communists coming to take your guns and freedoms"

Oh well, can't help stupid. Hopefully 51% of Americans in states that matter to the electoral college aren't dumb. I have my doubts.

This is a very promising development for the transition period when Trump will attempt to F with the election results

Mike Pence, please kick some more sand in Justice Roberts face. We're counting on you to keep doing the stupidest thing possible.

Spoiler:

P.S. Pence, contact Mike Woodson on the down low, re: Hookers and Blow. He cool. Won't tell your wife or church.

The idiot fringe and trolls are already trying to deflect the NRA case by saying What About the Clinton Foundation?

The Clinton Foundation has already been trolled by the GOP and just like Benghazi they found nothing, nada.

Meanwhile, the Trump Foundation got shut down for fraud you jackasses. The BS that comes out of the mouths of these fools is neverending.

Somewhat amusing about the whole NRA meltdown is Oliver North will be a key witness re: his fight against the other corrupt leadership of the NRA. Oh the irony
