    Tronald binning the Veterans Day thing at Arlington seems like it might be the one bit of shit that actually sticks to him.

    I thinkhe'll be hard to overcome in 2020. Maybe Biden runs and tries to bring Michelle as a VP (though she's telling everyone who will listen she absolutely hates politics and that's Barack's bag by way of promoting her new autobiography).

    They cheated Bernie out of the nomination last time but maybe they throw him a bone since he didn't make a big deal out of it and try to rig the nomination for him.

    That Beto O'Rourke fella out of Texas has been getting a lot of love though.

    Idk. Anyone outside of those 3 has no shot IMHO.

    Bernie has little chance when he's not "not Hillary" anymore.

    Beto/Harris or Harris/Beto would be my bet right now. Biden is gonna get hit with a lot of "creepy old man" stuff after all the me too-crap.

    "Beto" () is the flavor of the month and there is no way he's anywhere near. Warren shot herself on the foot with the whole DNA testing nonsense. Harris just looks like a dark Clinton. Bottom line is: they're fucked. They should just run one of those lol lads they had in there during the first debate and start preparing for 2024.

    They could run Uncle Sam himself, with Babe Ruth as running mate, and Trump could probably still lie his way back in.

    Their best chance is probably a Bernie type. People are looking for extremes now.

    Anyone thinking Beto would even have a chance is a moron.

    It'll be whoever wins the women among Gillibrand/Warren/Harris. Maybe Sherrod Brown but I highly doubt it. Bernie won't make it through a crowded primary with 90% of the field nicking the policies that he made look even slightly politically possible.

    I liked that thing on why Hillary Clinton should run again, but this time with a load of trendy new left-wing policies.

    Question one: Where have these policy preferences been for the past x years?

    All I’ve read, even from the CNN funhouse, says she absolutely should not run. Obviously.

    Their best chance is Trump getting bored and finding a way out of having to do another term that sufficiently massages his ego. If not they're left with selecting some schlub who they know can't win and just going through the motions for another four years until he has to go away. Do they have a Michael Howard in America?

    It seemed pretty odd to me as well (not just his handy nickname) since he kinda came out of nowhere (for me in Florida anyways) but I've seen a lot of random noise online and even from more left-leaning friends about him.

    You could have run a nonce against Ted Cruz and he would still have attracted millions of dollars and fawning press coverage, so it's probably not worth reading much into him.

    Your comment got me intrigued. Roy Moore got literally the same percent of the vote in Alabama as 'Beto' got. Both notched up 48.3% making Ted Cruz in Texas as loathesome as (D) in Alabama.

    “The Republicans don’t win and that’s because of potentially illegal votes,” Trump told the conservative Daily Caller website.

    “When people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again. Nobody takes anything. It’s really a disgrace what’s going on.”

    He also called for new national ID laws with a bizarre assertion: “If you buy a box of cereal – you have a voter ID.”
    He has full on dementia.

    The "dirt" they've dropped about Trump's building plan negotiations in 2016 so far has been a shitload of nothing. Who cares. He had plans to build a Trump tower in Moscow that continued into his candidacy, that's about it and it's gotten people so riled up.

    Maybe they're getting closer to the pee tapes, but unlikely

    Watching the point fly by some people is just so odd.

    Jimmy Carter was forced to sell his peanut farm (valued at $1 million) in case it unduly affected his decision making. Now you get a guy in who's selling point is "I know how corrupt these people are because I've been bribing them for years" and upon winning goes to a fancy restaurant to tell his billionaire donors "I'm going to make you very rich" and say what's the big deal.

    The DNC just dropped the 2020 debate schedule. They’re going to have 12 (seriously??) debates and you get on the main stage either through meeting a polling or grassroots fundraising threshold.

    Kind of surprising how afraid of Beto the Bernie camp is. It’s three weeks now of hit stories on campaign contributions from oil and gas employees dressed up as corporate contributions and how his record isn’t as progressive as Bernie’s.

    Biden-Beto might just be the least inspiring ticket around. Two white-saviors that would lose because the racists love the other guy and the ethnics don't trust them.

    Beto's latino turnout was pretty bad considering his position, no?

    From a quick google it says he had 64% of the Latino vote, 11% higher than the Demo candidate for Governor who garnered 53%.

    I don't know what that % looks like over past candidates though.

    To win a Democratic primary you have to win two of three groups: white liberals, white women, and people of color (really, just African American women statistically). Nothing else matters.

    You can't just keep electing people because women want to bang them, which seems Beto's only strength on a national level.

    I’m merely talking about the demographic make up of the base. It isn’t white men. The university liberal crowd is only a third. You can’t win in the south if you can’t appeal to a 30-40 year old African American woman.

    Women will vote for Warren or Harris or Hillary and they don’t want to fuck them. Doug Jones can do that with African American women in Alabama and nobody wants to fuck him.

    Beto’s popularity among Democrats isn’t simply because he is young and handsome and knows how to do an entire marketing campaign in Texas around Whataburger. He is a genuinely good retail politician that can pull of this sort of semi-corny improvised moment that D’s go all warm and fuzzy:

    He beat a Mexican American woman in the primary. The $10,000 she raised for campaigning were no match for Beto's brilliance (and $9 million.)

    Yeah that was a bit of a dig at Obama being milquetoast. Beto should run for Corker or Cornyns senate seat not president. Not yet.

    I'd like Warren/Gillum in a perfect world.

    Is the getting out of a war zone the same as when he got North Korea to denuclearize? Or like when we built the wall? Or like the transgender ban in the military? Or like the rising stock market? Or like the repeal of Obamacare? Or like the defeat of ISIS that lasted until his next tweet?

    Since the next Sec Def is likely to be atom Cotton, I’ll believe we are not going into war when the term is up. He just claims we do shit. When he follows up, I’ll pay attention.

    I'm reading about this Warren-Wells Fargo stuff as well. Good on her for taking those crooks on, I'll give her that.
