Jury rigging another election will be child’s play for these masters of theft and deceit.

The only result from a brokered convention that I can imagine is Hellary....

I could see them getting excited about her.

Re Pete, the article says:

As a man married to another man, he is progressive in his lifestyle and in his policies. Yet he remains grounded in the reality that programs have price tags.

Yes on the first, no on the second. He's soaked up lefty philosophy from his father, who was one of the leading translators and promoters of the theories of Antonio Gramsci. The only limit on what Pete wants or would try to do is the veneer of practicality. That is, whether he can get away with it or not. That's what Gramsci was all about--long march through the institutions, slow rebellion by miseducating the public and especially the youth, etc. Pete is NOT Mr. Reasonable with a gay spouse.

Michelle Malkin and Dennis Prager agree with you, but I don’t see it.

She is all about her self image

She would not run against Trump because he will tarnish her image. She wouldn’t be able to handle that.

Just a wild guess.
They could roll out Blowprah to endorse her and have BootyGig as VP.

the sheer intensity of his base

If burny is cheated out of the nomination, the intensity will spill over into rage, which could easily lead to violence.

The arrogance and deceit of the Rat party created the Bernie Sanders movement precisely the way the arrogance and deceit of the GOPe created the Trump candidacy and presidency.

What BOTH parties need to do is humble themselves and follow WE THE PEOPLE, else the nation will devolve further into a political system that maintains continuous false reality, perpetual intrigue and murderous activity to maintain the grip on the message and appearances. Really, we are there already. Will they listen, or will the people continue their war on the political parties???

The amazing thing to me is that the Democrats seem to have the same ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory that Republicans are known for. Even after infusing the country with well over 100 million left leaning immigrants from 3rd world sh@tholes in the last 40 years, we still have a good chance of winning back the house and they have no serious challenger to President Trump.

The main thing that they have really accomplished is overwhelming California, Washington, Oregon and a few other places like Minnesota with hoards of these imported Democrats.

Although many Freepers think that Michelle is too lazy, the desire for the kind of public adulation she would receive is probably immense.

This would feed her ego to an extent that is totally unquantifiable.

Blowprah has a Weinstain problem, she was his pimp, would recruit all the young wanabe starlets to meet him for movie gigs/for sex trade

She would get destroyed, it is why she has been hanging low.

Michelle values her self image more than anything. Going up against Trump is going to destroy that, she will get a Trump name, Trump isn’t afraid to blast all her life failures including the lousy school lunch program. And he would have zero problems tying her to her husband and all of his great failures.

Michelle wants to run, but not in 2020, but in 2024 she will pop out.

Biden, Bernie, Warren, Klobachar, Bloomberg are all hasbeens that probably won’t run again in 2024

Buttyboy is in it because, well, what does he have to lose? Seriously, this has elevated him on the national platform, he has nothing to lose at this point. Even if he doesn’t get the nom, he is looking to be a CNN/MSNBC contributor, book deals, speaking etc, from failed small city mayor to national figure is a giant jump and a better pay day.

Booker and Kamala left the race because 2024 looks more promising to them

I always remember that Axlegrease and Plouffy were able to re-elect Baraq with massive unemployment, $4 gasoline, the stench of Obamacare, and re-institutionalizing racism. Those guys would surely be on the team once again.

A hard line commie in the White House will be the event that begins Civil War II.

Hillary will go all in, and be drafted before the convention.
Bernie will have a McDougal, Joe will have a seizure of some sort.

Hillary with a female VP, will oppose Trump with
a. Supreme court alarm over Roe v Wade being overturned
b. Gun control over a yet to be staged mass killing
c. Health care for all
d. Female VP beating up Trump using meetoo
e. If necessary an October surprise state funeral for Bill

“My money is on Pete Buttigieg. He has staying power. “
Well Buttigieg wrote a high school paper praising Bernie.
Mayor Pete is a commie, and I really hate commies.

Dear Freeper compadres,
We will need to pitch in this fall to prevent voter fraud.
