Re: Political Roundtable Part XXV
Duck, your argument is flatly disingenuous and you disappoint me.
We can't have a discussion about the GND unless *you* agree with all of its policy proposals? Screw you. Who put you in charge?
This whole GOP approach to policy - "we can only talk about things if there is no privileged white male in the country who disagrees with it" - is why the GOP has zero alternative to Obamacare and failed miserably trying to fix it (to put it charitably).
The whole argument comes from a place of such stunningly smug white supremacist privilege that it physically sickens me. This is why Democracy is on fire right now.

Bernie Bernie Bernie... understand that when you lose the primary again... know that your role is to do a much better job of getting your supporters to vote for the Dem candidate in the general election.

Re: Political Roundtable Part XXV
YahooTrent Lott thinks Joe Biden is the strongest Democratic presidential candidate
Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott said Joe Biden is the only Democrat he thinks would be competitive in the 2020 election against President Trump.
“Joe will be able to perpetuate the image of Uncle Joe, and he is pleasant. He is qualified,” Lott, a Mississippi Republican, said in an interview for the Yahoo News podcast “The Long Game.”
“Half this bunch in there right now is not qualified,” Lott said of the current Democratic field.
But Lott said he thinks Trump’s chances of being reelected are “surprisingly strong.” Even Biden, he said, would be “pulverized … in many respects” by Trump.

Stupid hot take.
More Sanders supporters voted for that Hillary's sorry losing ass than Hillary supporters voted for Obama in 2008.
And according to one 2008 study, around 25 percent of Clinton primary voters in that election ended up voting for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in the general.

Hillary's racist campaign created the disgusting birther movement, not McCain's. Hillary's campaign tried to usurp democracy by trying to get superdelegates to change their votes from Obama to her. Hillary's racist campaign tried to paint Obama as an unqualified liar, discrediting him at every debate. Hillary's supporters at the time had so much hate and vitriol for Obama, that many of them ended up voting for McCain.

You have a skewed perception of Biden due to him being the VP to media darling Barack Obama. There is a reason he has failed numerous times even though he has rust belt support. Many democrats know this already... He has a lot of skeletons that will be thrown into the forefront and he can also be a loose cannon.

I like how the Ds are doing it this time... they have lots of candidates - they can find out which one will resonate with the voters.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

Biden beats Trump by the widest margin currently (12 points). Who was could be a bigger loose cannon than Trump who won so....
