    the DNC nomination is Warren's to lose. And she'll fuck it up somehow.

    Yet Biden is the favorite among Democrats, Independents and Republicans for the Democratic nomination. Kind of looks like a steam roller. Not my first choice but he appears to be the people's choice.

    I am not convinced your experience is typical of the broader electorate. Bernie Tulsi Yang aren't even that popular among Democrats.

    The only republicans who want Biden to get the nomination are the hardcore Trump fanatics, and that’s because they know Biden doesn’t have enough marbles left to survive a one on one debate. The man can’t even formulate 20 seconds of coherent speech. He’s Hillary Clinton without the debate skills. Remember 2016?

    this is bizarro world. are you talking about Biden or Trump not formulating 20 seconds of speech? You might have your candidate mixed up.

    I am not convinced the mainstream reporting is representative of the broader electorate.

    See: 2016 election

    Bro, I’m sorry. I know how much you hate Trump, I get it.
    Please clear your head of rage and don’t underestimate him, for the sake of the election. He can win a debate against some of these people. It’s just a fact. It might not be eloquent or on topic, but he can win using his troll tactics alone.
    This is not me sucking Trumps dick, this is me telling you and other dems not to waltz in expecting a win again. Dems need to quit doubling down on this shit where they just think everything is going to be a slam dunk. It’s not. I don’t want Trump either. My criticisms of the Democrats aren’t because I love Trump, its because i actually think there are a few decent candidates, but I’m watching the dems walk down the same path as they did in 2016 by propping up morons like Joe Biden.

    I am convinced that you not being convinced has any real relevance. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Nobody wants to be shamed. :pumpitup:

    Well, I guess we'll see when we get to the primaries, but if the primaries were today, the polls would have to be WILDLY incorrect for you to be correct.
    The polls were a bit off in 2016 but not so much that Jill Stein won the election. That's the level of inaccuracy that you are implying.

    There are a few that aren't and they will rise to the surface, and be factors down the stretch for the nomination.
    Many people will be looking for some sanity and middle ground for non partisanship efforts. Some will play this whole thing very SLY.

    Please quit using me and other forum members as your personal punching bag with the president’s face on it. Nobody here is as horrible as you think they are. Most people at least try to present thoughtful posts and you respond exclusively with smug condescension and emojis.

    You are literally the Donald Trump of this forum and it’s the most ironic spectacle I’ve ever witnessed.

    I dont think its an easy win for Dems, and never have said as much. I have actually said repeatedly that the Dems SUCK at all of this, and think Trump can win again....which is truly, truly amazing to me. It is not about "trump winning", its about the democrats losing elections. It would not take much to win. I think they need an influx of younger people - denture Pelosi isnt helping matters.

    In Tulsi news, she just came out in favor of impeachment.

    Slower than Pelosi is pretty damn slow.

    says the guy who about a week ago claimed he was going to leave the OT section. You crack me up kid as you are all over the place with nonsense and not worth wasting my time debating you.

    Nor is Biden. Young people want a progressive. They don’t want to be swamped with student loans and medical bills and never be able to own a home. That is all the status quo is offering right now and many of these Dem candidates are status quo politicians trying to ride the Bernie wave into the White House where they can get down to business as usual.

    Way to stay on topic Donnie.

    When did I explicitly state I was leaving the OT forum? Quote please?

    Don’t worry, I don’t expect a response.

    Not dismissing your concerns about the status quo, but the Bernie wave appears to be too small to ride at this point, may have to paddle out and wait for the next wave.
