So, who are the likely Democrat contenders?

Posted on 12/29/2019 6:44:16 PM PST by Jonty30

I'm just wondering, with Biden and Warren being pushed out, who is there that will be the sacrificial lamb against Trump?

Biden started out the strongest contender, but that was expected because he was the VO. However, he didn’t keep his lead and the money being raised is shifting and weaker candidates are talking behind. As of the end of the third quarter, this is how much reserves each candidate has on hand for future campaigning.

VO should have been VP.

Yep - they cuckolded Bernie last time and would get a two-fer by sacrificing him this time....then let him fade away in old age.

I don’t think any of the current crop are viable candidates. I suspect there will be a brokered convention where somebody different is selected. (This will cause riots, so stock up on popcorn.) The most mentioned non-candidates are Michelle and Hillary. But, it could just be a no-name governor.

The Dems will try for as much “cross-sectionality” as possible, but if not it will be a dull white person.

Maybe Ralph Northam.

That’s not happening at the ballot box.
Getting permanently rid of Bernie they can do.

You are right that Biden is their strongest candidate. The dems know that, that’s why he’s ahead in their own polls.

But Trump also knows that. I bet that’s why Giuliani spent a lot of time in the Ukraine. I bet there is a LOT of dirt there and I bet that’s the reason the dems shifted focus so suddenly from the worthless Mule report to the “phone call”.

The “phone call” isn’t the problem... certainly not the problem the dems think it is for Trump. The problem is what the f* the Bidens have been doing in Ukraine and elsewhere in recent years. It’s Biden’s achilles heel and the dems know it. Hence the shampeachment.

I would laugh at your post 44 but I worry you aren’t joking, and that there is a kernel of truth there.

What did that lying POS say in 2012, something like “no one is more conservative than I am”?

I believe Pinocchio Romney referred to himself as a “severe conservative.”

I think that time will dispose of Bernie. His ideas( Marx’s ideas) live on in the AOCs of the country. I’m afraid that we’re a generation away from them overtaking us.

I believe that any close race can now be stolen.

That was it.

Severe conservative.

And I’m a multi-billionaire who owns, among other things, a robot mansion on Mars.

There is no way in hell the Dems will go to Manchin. They are on a rocket ship to the left. Biden may not be far enough left for them. Buttigieg isn’t!
