Democrats’ 2020 race is a lot like 2004 — but worse
NY Post ^ | January 14 2020 | Jonah Goldberg

Thanks to the confrontation with Iran, the Democratic nomination contest looks more and more like a two-person race between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.

Both candidates think the issue helps them, and they are probably right. Biden’s foreign-policy experience and relative hawkishness reinforce support from moderate voters, while Sanders’ long record of dovishness helps him among more progressive voters.

If it does become a two-way contest, we could be shaping up for a kind of replay of the 2004 Democratic battle between John Kerry and former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean. And that might be good for Mike Bloomberg.

Nevertrump Goldbricker says, "Bloomberg’s "break glass in case of emergency” candidacy could do surprisingly well on Super Tuesday, and that’s clearly the former Big Apple mayor’s plan."

He won't even win California, Goldbricker.

I believe it will be like the Hubert Humphrey presidential campaign of 1968. The Democratic Party’s 1968 convention might have been brokered if Robert F. Kennedy had not been assassinated. I predict a brokered convention when, at the last minute,the Dems bring in Hillary. The Bernie supporters will feel cheated for a second time. When she gets the nomination, all hell will break out. It will be worse than the Chicago riots of 1968.

THAT WAR IS THIS: UNHOLY
MSM and reporting news agencies reporting knowingly avoid referencing the religious aspect of these conflicts. Portraying the conflicts going on between entities in the area as territorial acquisition when they are actually sectarian. Based on enforcing absolute conformity to a theocracy. That orders followers to adhere to Koranic laws who’s radical theological detestable assertions based on tribal customs because they claim to follow only one god makes them “monotheistic”. That claim and its creed known as Sharia disgusting theocratic assertions has never been questioned or challenged by leading monotheistic religious leaders like Pope Francis. Which allows followers obey what they claim are Our Creator’s orders which has them authorized by God to execute unbelievers including those fleeing the area they control.

It is clearly evident that the Democrat Party 2020 POTUS Candidate Debate was a total failure when it comes to TV viewer audience....WHY?......No one was watching or listening on TV or live feeds (CNN Was Another Failure).

The Drudge Report POTUS Candidate Debate this very moment has but a paltry has a paltry 37,000 (It should be between 300,000-500,000 voters by this time, out of 330,000,000 potential votes divided between the six (6) total Democrat Traitors, Turncoats, Losers, Deadbeats and Hate America Candidates....Biden, Klochubar, Steyer, Warren, Sanders, and the Pajama Boy, Gem, Buttigieg. (If you really want to see an honest living and breathing Butt Wipe...check out “Billionaire Democrat Low life Tom Stever”!!!

Of course POTUS, Donald J.Trump blew away the Democrat Party scum & vermin, traitors.....with a massive, successful rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin last night, attended by 13,500 supporters in the Arena and another 7,000 people outside the arena. Trump has destroyed the Democrat Party this week with gala greeting received in New Orleans, LA viewed by millions of American citizen voters. Trump will also once again garner massive positive political, attention and multiple cheers next week in a massive Wildwood, New Jersey, political campaign rally!!! See ya all, next week in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut folks in New Jersey...... Hey Dude & Dolls......Wildwood, NJ awaits you...Contact www.donaldjtrump.com for more info!!!

Bloomberg would be great. He’s a 5’2” Harvey Weinstein #metoo time bomb waiting to explode. The optics of him standing next to 6’2 Trump on stage would be terrific.

Dems being morons think he will win because he is richer than Trump, even thpugh Trump spent half of what Shitlery spent.

Truth is they need Bloomy to spend $2bln of his own money because they don’t have any money for down ballot seats.

That may have been the plan all along. (Or someone will choose Hillary as veep.)

The Bernie supporters will feel cheated for a second time.

Of course, they will. But they are powerless to do anything about it, against the Dem money and cheating machine.

When she gets the nomination, all hell will break out.

Doubtful. The media will not allow it. Hillary will be painted as the the only thing that can "save" the country, and the Dems will fall in line behind her.

Bernie will take the payoff and disappear. Deja vu all over again.

Forget Weinstein. MiniMike may have an Epstein problem.
