Not for nothing, but Mr. Small Donors Only has a bit of a problem with following campaign finance law:
Iāve given that thought. The last election was essentially a tie, although Hillary did win by 3 million votes out of 130 million cast. Millions are sick of Trump, but Iād venture the same 63,000,000 he got in 2016 mostly holds. A few GOPers that voted Obama might not do it again. Would Obama win in 2020? I donāt think itās a given. Pointing out the populace is polarized, and vast swaths of people are troubled, if not outright mentally disturbed, is not cynicism, itās reality.
In the mean time Iām starting to really believe Tom Steyerās play in SC is to annoy independents right out of the political process or at least turn off voters to any Dem, his ads are running so much.
Seriously I heard lots of small talk over the holidays down there of people āsick of politicsā when his ad would come up every other commercial break or even people saying ādems are annoying me with thisā. And to be frank, his ads are annoying.
Iām genuinely sorry to see this. I like Booker and heās one of the more articulate candidates.
Itās the American electorateās responsibility to make sure that they arenāt duped.
The same goes for the American press.
Oh, I would be quite happy for him to move on to retirement.
Exactlyā¦which is why I:
- Am annoyed with Bernieās campaign taking low blows at Warren
- Am impressed with Bloombergās campaign that is laser-focused on exposing donnieās shit.
ETA: Not that Iād vote for Bloomberg, I am just happy that he is not attacking Dems with his media millions.
The sunny (not yet submerged) shores of Florida are callingā¦
i figured he was next but, thought heād hang in until IA
Somewhat agree about parts of this, but Obama would have destroyed Trump.
And to this day, still doesā¦
Particularly when you consider that donnieās campaign spring-boarded off the White discontented underbelly that never cottoned to a black president. If Obama hadnāt been elected, that sludge would not have been primed to follow any person who blew the right dog whistle.
Poor headline; should beā¦
āCory Booker joins the race for VPā
Iām not positive about that. Obama himself admitted in 2016 that he had lost connection with Iowa, who knows what heād say now. Also, I donāt think Obama-ttump voters are the ones thatāll help Dems this time. I think neverttumpers and indies (who might not vote for Obama in the past) are the key.
Yāall have forgotten what Obama does to people. He would have won - he has the charisma and the power over people.
Imagine if Sanders had shown this kind of grace when he was defeated in 2016, weād have two more justices on the Supreme Court and a President working to save the planet and solve our problems instead of turn us against each other.
As long as anyone a new Democratic President chooses for their administration can be easily replaced. No Senators/Governors/whatever from seats that could be lost.
Yep. If Bernie had REALLY started campaigning for Hillary in earnest, the world would be a very different place.

It is sad that we have lost so many minority candidates.
Weāve lost them at the presidential level, but not at the lower levels. I donāt want to discount the possibility of a minority candidate at VP. If a Dem wins the WH, I can see a multiracial, multi-generational, multi-gender cabinet that would more accurately reflect the balance in this country.
We donāt have that now. Not by any means.

Yāall have forgotten what Obama does to people. He would have won - he has the charisma and the power over people.
He also had Michelle, not a Melanomaā¦
