Does every politics thread have to consist of DC Koop saying something dumb/wrong and then everyone showing how dumb it was?

This is the exact problem. All you have to do is plant the seed that someone is affiliated with Russia somehow in the media and they are screwed regardless of the truth. They've tried it with Bernie, and I'm sure they'll do it with Warren if she doesn't play ball.

I have seen more Bloomberg commercials in the past two days than all the other candidates combined ... other than Tom Steyer but I'm counting the (pro impeachment) ones that Steyer ran before he even entered the race. |

Re: 2020 Election
Fascinating article about Obama and his thoughts about various candidates in the Dem primary.
https://www.politico.com/news/magazi...s-biden-073025 A few comments: 1) It seems to validate Alex Pareene's view of why Bloomberg and Patrick are jumping in the race (at least the Obamaworld part) https://newrepublic.com/article/1557...gns-make-sense 2) Obama really doesn't like Warren and further he seems more concerned about what a successful Presidential bid from Warren means for his legacy as opposed to what it means for the country. 3) He was right about Kamala Harris not getting the support of the black community. 4) His view of Biden as a campaigner is pretty much playing out as expected, but really anyone could see that. 5) Obama is more forceful when speaking out about the left than he is about Trump, which is troubling to say the least. |
Re: 2020 Election
Oh and this is a devastating critique of Mayo Pete.
https://www.theroot.com/pete-buttigi...-mf-1840038708 I do think the fact that Bootyjudge is viewed as a front runner in the Democratic primary when he has no support from black voters is a massive issue for the Democratic party as a whole and the punditocracy who keep bigging him up as the golden boy. |

Personally, I think it's good to have different voices on the debate stage, so I like to hear from Gabbard and Yang, even if I don't agree with everything they say. One thing that Tulsi does very well is when she goes after someone it's effective. She did it to Harris before and she did it to Buttigieg this time.
I'm not going to go over the whole Russian thing again as it's so overblown. The Russians are going to interfere, as is every other country, as they always have. It's just so tiresome to have this implication, that because the Russians like a candidate they are automatically bad. Rich people like Buttigieg because he is looking out for their interests. It would be nice if we could do something about the influence of American oligarchs before worrying about Russian ones. |

No way Tulsi will get through, she is the 2020 Bernie.

Yeah I know you hate Trump and all republicans blah blah blah blah but do try to avoid sounding like a clapped out broken record. I look forward, although with a certain amount of pessimism included to a contribution one day from you that does not originate from some Euro supermarket tabloid
It's USA supplied from start to finish :sarcasm: https://www.thedailybeast.com/giulia...ce=CSAMedition |

Sanders got 43% of the vote in the 16 primaries. Gabbard is polling at 2%. So... not so much. I am sure they learned their lesson in 2016 and realised the need to take her put early, they have Bernie and Elizabeth splitting their vote and now we have Mayor Pete coming through, which is weird to say the least. Presumably to allow Biden to walk it. Difficult to keep up. |
