posted by BoatShoesI think Kamala Harris is sadly the favorite at this point - our party is more obsessed with getting a woman + person of color than somone who can win and I fear Trump will absolutely crush her for fucking a married man twice her age to get her start in politics.
I don't think Trump can say anything about this, really. He's not exactly a model of marital fidelity!

I would agree but Trump has proven the normal rules of politics don't apply to him and seemingly him only. Listening to women who would call in to radio shows that supported trump - it's like they expect bad behavior from Trump and he is forgiven. For these same women who've experienced boorish men their whole life, the Kamala Harris' of the world that tempt older men are the homewreckers.

Normal rules of politics stopped a long time ago

I actually hope Kamala or Spartacus wins just for the comedy gold during debates with Trump.
Will Spartacus be Spartacus’ nickname?

The polls (yes I know, polls) I saw have Biden in the lead, then Bernie, then Kamala. She is horrible, and I agree with your assessment that Trump would for sure use it. I think Biden has the best chance. I just can't see that Bernie would hold up to scrutiny. A video resurfaced yesterday where he claimed that standing in a bread line was a GOOD thing.

I don't think Gary is running, and if he was I highly doubt his chances of winning have increased. Even though I would have easily taken him over Hillary and Donald, I don't believe he was close to being the best candidate for that party.
posted by CenterBHSFanSo some of the Bernie Bros are calling him "Daddy". And that's all I have to say about it right about now.
Zwick! Where are you?
It's very weird and sad how obsessed people are with public servants (on both sides).

Trump won 53% of White Women over Hillary - someone who many a lot of women felt sorry for due to Hill's shitty treatment of her. A recipe for Dems to be crying on the day after election day wondering what happened
If people like gblock are saying they would vote for Trump over Kamala, then would predict that she is going to have a very difficult time defeating him.

Yeah, I think Gary's ship sailed with the last election. When it's looking like you're actually gaining momentum due to how shitty the other candidates were and then you completely blow it with interviews where you come off as clueless and the L movement winds up losing its momentum and getting their usual pittance of the vote (ie: completely insignificant unless the R guy loses and the diehard R politards start crying because their guy "only" lost due to the L siphoning votes away), you probably should step aside and let someone capable of carrying your party forward take the lead.
The far left socialist agenda will look and sound bad in a debate.
The only reasonable sounding people that won't dog whistle to the AOC crowd will be Shultz and that chick from winter land

I voted for Gary because he was far superior to either candidate, but yeah, his campaign was just terrible. I'm not sure Mcafee or Peterson would've done any better, but I probably would've preferred Peterson out of the top 3. I'm hoping for a guy like Larry Sharpe to get the nomination in 2020.

Wow, LOL. I saw other parts of this video where he was praising Castro and Ortega. This is the same guy who also praised Venezuela a few years ago.
If Bernie or any other socialist is the dem candidate give me Trump, Pence, a cow, a rock, a gold fish, etc... It doesn't matter, I will take anything over a socialist.

Well duh, of course he is. Think about it. He most likely will be the R on the ballot in November 2020, while all the Ds have to beat each other and then beat Trump. The book is taking that into consideration.
Plus, there are more Ds than Rs, so if you are a book of course you are going to make Trump the favorite as you have no clear favorite yet in the D field. Still, for a sitting President to be only +175 is pretty bad.
I was looking at the odds and Biden being at +1200 isn't bad to throw a few bones at.
Now, if there were head to head odds, I wonder how those would play.

I think Biden is the only one who could stand toe to toe with Trump, to be frank. Trump would savage anybody else and they wouldn't have the wherewithal to snap back up where I think Biden *could*.
Biden would give Trump some serious trouble...he’d easily be favored head to head.

Really? Biden is a blubbering idiot. Trump will get Biden all fired up and Biden will crack.

Lol. But is Biden old enough?
