Senator Elizabeth Warren has faced persistent questions about her viability in the general election, and there is concern among some Democrats about her liberal politics

But doesn’t buttgig get brownie points for being a homosexual? Yes he’s a white male, but he’s a different type of male.

progressive but practical


Do you mean practical in that she grabs the closest thing to throw at her sfaffer’s heads when they piss her off?

Her having her finger close to the button should scare the crap out of anyone and everyone.

Doesn’t matter who the D’s run.... They are going to be crushed.

Every 4 years the political eco system goes nuts, but the reality is, short of MAJOR MAJOR events, the outcomes are far more regular than any of the punditry want to admit.

Simple facts:

Incumbent wins. Regardless of party, only 4 times in the last 120 years has a president who won their first term not been elected for a second term, that has run for one. Of those 4, 3 were taken out purely based on the economy. So you have 1 time in 120 years where American’s have not re-elected a sitting president that they elected previously, when the economy was not in the crapper. PARTY OF PRESIDENT DOES NOT MATTER.

Presidents up for re-election (re-election meaning they actually won an election in the first place for the presidency) and win re-election, with the sole exception of Obama, win re-election by larger margins than they did in their initial election.

The Democrats are in a position where that, short of a massive economic collapse before next november or some other event of that sort of magnitude, their odds of winning are about as close to statistical NIL as you can get.

Best case they can hope for is holding the house in 2020, regardless of who the nominee is...

Sanders doesn’t have the health and America will never elect a socialist.

They have elected several of them already. Granted they weren't so open about their affliction but they revealed themselves shortly after they took office.

Squaw Grey Beaver is going to get the nomination and then is going to get smashed by The Donald.

The Donkeys know it. It will be glorious!

Klobuchar can swing the bat. That is not a negative for someone wanting to lead. Any woman has to appear to be strong to succeed in politics.

When talking to the liberal enemy about candidates l, we should keep asking that question. “Is there anyone else?”

“America will never elect a socialist”

Clarification: America will never elect a socialist President.

The Dems will keep it close with a smorgasbord of new giveaway proposals sure to draw out herds of gibmedats who usually don’t vote.

“America will never elect a socialist President”

I humbly disagree. Based on demographic trends and my many conversations with younger people I expect it to happen within the next decade, two tops.

Buttigieg will have great trouble attracting minority, moderate and conservative, and straight voters who distrust those seeking power because of sexual identity.

Hillary took herself out with the “Russia Agent” story.
The Democrat rank and file will not forget that one.

Lizzie Warren took herself out with the Gray Beaver story.
Biden took himself out by pushing Ukraine.
Indiana and the Midwest is never going to back Buttplug.
Irish Bob and Bloomberg took themselves out with radical gun control.

They all did it to themselves.

Look for a Stealth Candidate to ride to the rescue sometime in Jan-Feb timeframe.
Right now, I can’t think of one but they will have to be very rich to do it.

Sorry, but it won’t be close.

Democrats are geographically land locked... they have great depth, in very limited geography.... They have ZERO path to the white house.

Best Case for them, short of the type of events I discussed, is maybe 15 states and DC... that’s the best case for the Democratic party in 2020, regardless of who the nominee is.

Democratic is just a euphemism for communist. As in:
German Democratic Republic
Democratic Republic of the Congo
“democratic centralism”

So “Democratic establishment” describes them to a tee.

Most Minnesota politicians know nothing about the world outside of Minnesota.
Amy has no clue what is going on outside of a few small portions of Minneapolis.

Without President Trump, Republicans would be asking the same question about their candidates.
