When the 2020 Democratic presidential contest kicked off earlier this year, the massive field was hailed as the most diverse in history, with candidates who spanned the ideological spectrum and offered enough in a broad buffet of options to excite any voter. But after 10 months of campaigning and 15 hours of nationally televised debates, another emotion is rising: anxiety.
Party leaders and activists are citing weakness in all of the leading contenders, including former vice president Joe Biden, who has been forced on the defensive about his family’s ethics, performed haltingly in debates and set off alarms with his poor fundraising. They also fret that the two other top-ranking candidates, Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), are too liberal to win a general election. Other candidates have had moments to shine, but none yet have fully transformed that into anything approaching momentum. […]
John Coale, a major donor to both Bill and Hillary Clinton, was more blunt. “They don’t have anybody who can win the general [election],” he said.
In conversations with 17 state and national party leaders, nearly all expressed some level of unease with where the field stands and a deepening concern that, even as Trump suffers through one of the darkest phases of his presidency, the leading presidential contenders would struggle mightily in a one-on-one contest with him. For all of his challenges, Trump commands a gigantic operation that has vacuumed up unprecedented sums of money, an unparalleled megaphone to lure in voters and a lock on most of the Republican Party. Democrats face the possibility of a long primary fight that could cleave the party along ideological and generational lines and leave the nominee campaigning against an incumbent whom Democrats see as simultaneously weak and hard to beat. …

Suicide , I thought Dems loved Suicide
I hope their party jumps over a cliff and takes all of their pet lemmings with it.
...with candidates who spanned the ideological spectrum
LOL.
Trump is the reason they feel anxious because they know whomever goes up against him is gunna get thrashed.
PONDER THIS FROM "THE PARTY OF THE PEOPLE:"
Joe Biden’s war chest of $8.9 million was a small fraction of what his Democrat rivals have on hand.
But Biden's spending like there's no tomorrow, FEC data shows.
Biden's lavish expenses include:
<><> $924,000 for private jets, about one out of every $16 raised
<><> taking in $15.7M BUT spending $17.6M during that same period.
<><>more than $20,000 at the luxury Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan;
<><> more than $14,000 at the Coronado Island Marriott in San Diego —
<><> more than $10,500 at the W Hotel in Los Angeles,
<><> big buck$ at other high-end hotels.
<><> almost $9M on payroll,
<><> $228,378 on "research consultants" and $150,400 on “strategic consultants.”
QUESTION How does a "party of the people" candidate spend $17.6M during the same period he took in $15.7M?
I guess only Hunter Biden knows ...cackle.
As for Hunter, they are desperately trying to portray him as a "victim."
Voting America is having none of it.
Outside of Democrats' blue enclaves of wanton perversion, Hunter is seen, not as a victim, but as a cocaine-addicted
womanizer, exploiting his political connections, riding the fast lane, living large off his White Privilege.
Spanned the ideological spectrum?! From far left, to far far left, to far far far left.
The candidates run from Trotskyites all the way to Stalinists.
Be afraid! Be very afraid!!!!
And they usually blame us for not understanding their message...
If you know your enemy and yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither yourself nor the enemy, you will succumb in every battle.One thing that the Dems are discovering is that they know neither themselves nor their perceived enemy.
Here is the Washington Post article from tomorrow and for some reason, I guess the BOMBSHELL from lying rat Adam Schiff’s account of the secret, behind close doors account of the testimony of some lifer government employee Ambassador isn’t going to derail Trump’s chances for reelection in 2020, much less his chance of keeping the office until that time.
This is the danger: the democrats-leftists, find someone able to LIE better. I think they may have found that person in Tulsi Gabbard.
So why are they trying so desperately to destroy her?
Besides, Bernie is still in the race and Gabbard was an open Bernie supporter.
Gabbard would wilt under the heat of a Trump retort in any debate.
Why? According to the press its just a matter of time Pelosi becomes president after Trump and Pence are impeached
No, Pelosi will Crown Hillary President
When the press is this inconsistent, the desperation must be reaching a fever pitch.
Democrats are committing Demicide!
They DON’T need our help!
All we have to do is stand back, watchem commit Demicide, and go vote for President Trump and the Republicans on Novenber 3, 2020!
Not to worry, Dems. Impeachment will get rid of the Orange One long before the election. Right?
