2020 Presidential Election thread

Democrats debate.....

Yang offering up a lottery with campaign money = illegal and just cost him everything.

Klobochar is done.

Mayor Pete.....no thanks

Bernie.....done listening to him yell.  Could you imagine Bernie dealing with terrorism?

Kamala Harris is just completely fake and unlikable.

With the massive amount of wealth just handed to the Clintons and Obamas, being a Dem POTUS is literally a lottery.  Bernie's old, though, so he'd have to hang it up after 1 term so he had time to cash-in before he died.

Well after another national debate.......not one single person up there that will become or even has a chance to be President.  Matter of fact, they are all scary as hell

When you're polling at 3% you gotta go cray...

For anyone Nevertrump or some of the dems on here, who would you even be leaning towards right now? They have all said some of the craziest shit out of a mainstream candidate. 

Did Joe Biden really say no one should be in jail for a non-violent crime? What a ding-dong.

I've realized the POTUS doesn't really matter - 10.5 years of Obama and Trump have convinced me of that.  The job now is basically giving speeches and raising money while pretending you have the influence to make deals on the world stage.

So with that said, I'll take Biden or Buttigieg or Tulsi.   The rest, maybe except Booker, are commies and/or total nutjobs.  But I'll be voting 3rd party even if I have to write in Bugs Bunny.

Of the current dems Tulsi is the only one I can see myself voting for. She was the only one level headed other than Biden. Biden is level headed but quite frankly isn't all there where Tulsi is. The rest are nuts (Buttigieg less nuts but still nuts).

If I *had* to vote for a dem it would be Tulsi. 

Otherwise, I have no fucking idea who I'm going to vote for.  At least in '16 I could vote for Johnson. This time around I got no one. I don't know. Might write in Rand Paul.

The Libertarian Party is so bad - going backwards when the last 10 years they should have been able to build some momentum.  Then again, the two-party media is probably more effective than DC at burying a third party.

I'm pretty sure Johnson, Weld, and Sarwak (party chair) were all plants meant to destroy the party from within. Otherwise, the incompetence is just mind-boggling.

And it pisses me off that I'm probably going to end up voting for Orange Man Bad.

Had he said "victimless", I could get on board. I'd still like to see burglars put away.

And Beto, who is no-nuts.

Absolutely. If there is no victim, there is no crime.

Apparently, according to something I read somewhere, he was trying to refer to non-violent drug crimes (something a lot of us here have essentially supported), but gaffe'd. While that means a debate with him and Trump would be entertaining, with both of them rambling incoherently much of the time while fact-checkers' heads explode on a minute-by-minute basis, that confrontation wouldn't exactly inspire me to feel optimism over the near future.

Between AR-15's and climate change I doubt any of us live long enough for it to matter.
