2020 Presidential Election thread

Clyburn and Carville are out there calling for the DNC to shut the primary down.  They want to wrap Biden up as quick as possible.

I mean ... at this point, I'm not sure I blame them for that.  Bernie is a growing longshot at best, and Tulsi stopped being a serious contender months ago.

Unless Hillary is going to make a last-minute bid, Joe's the last man standing (barely).

Might be interesting if he recants on his VP leak and picks HRC.  Wouldn't that be some shit?

So it’s ok if democrats disenfranchise primary voters.

Got it.

Unless it's the Bernie Bros.  Then it's an outrage.  lol

He also word for word on Anderson Cooper said he would come for your guns if you have an assault weapon (which isn’t a real thing). He’s completely full of shit and senile. 

Ptown, regardless of this video, do you really not think there has been a cognitive decline in his behavior and memory?

I don't think as bad as it looked 6 months ago no. 

In the first few debates he looked old. The last few he has looked and sounded better. His speeches are also better. 

It is a very valid question moving forward to ask about the mental state though, espeically if he starts to struggle as we move into the spring and summer.

Shut down the primary is dumb. I doubt that is what they meant. 

They probably meant, Bernie needs to drop out, which he won't do yet. 

I do doubt Bernie continues far into April. The map and math look worse than they did in 2016. 

Last night showed voters he got in 2016 flipped to Biden this time around. 

I've been thinking more and more 2016 was more anti-Hillary than pro-Bernie.

i think what we are seeing is that he was never going to get the black vote (no shit), the young bernie bros are too busy shitposting on twitter to register to vote, and that after 3 years of trump the "new progressives" that went for bernie last time came to their senses and said holy shit if we fuck this up again we'll get more trump. so they went for the safer candidate (time will tell if that is the right move).

He'll stay in until his price is met, just like last time.  Bernie couldn't figure out how to get rich after 25 years in DC, but he did finally figure out the art of the shakedown.

Wow, Klobuchar's meltdown would be epic.  A promise to be the first woman POTUS when you've basically done nothing to deserve or earn it?  You just can't take something like that away from someone!

The woman in the clip is now crying racism. Shocking.

I saw where Biden made 3 speeches recently and the longest one was 7 minutes.  Thats not "better speeches"

He hasn’t got better. What are you watching?  He has definitely got worse overtime with the senile-like responses/speeches. 

Saw a clip yesterday ….it was complete teleprompter read.

Gropey Joe is on lockdown.

I think he has. When you compare the speeches and addresses the last 10 days vs. before the Iowa Caucus, he is much better. 

I mean that could be a short term bump due to his campaign being revived from the dead, or maybe things weren't as bad as people thought, not sure. 

I think the debate on Sunday, if it happens, will be a good test on this.

His speech yesterday? That was 1000% better than Trump's on Wed night. It was also a stated speech, not an event. 

Finally, I think you may want to drop the gropey line as your dude actually bragged about groping women on tape.....

Yea, well then the dipshit tweeted that banning travel was a bad idea (from Europe or anywhere), when in fact all doctors agreed banning euorpeans was a good step, and banning China travel was one of the only things Trump has done right. Biden is an idiot.

Fair. Yeah, I didn't get that tweet and thought it was dumb.

While yes, the Europe ban makes sense, the roll out was a clusterfuck. The fact they had to issue several corrections/ additions after the speech shows the speech sucked. 

Trump has basically done such a good job with handling this he has the Dems are basically arguing for cornonavirus rights at this point.

I fully agree, and doubt today will go any better. Just can't believe anyone would ever think not banning travel into our country was a bad idea.
