2020 US Election (Part One)

[Zkribbler]

I just wanna note that all the people now claiming Sanders would definitely totally lose to the Republicans were pretty much all claiming that Hillary Clinton's victory in 2016 was a certainty.

Anyone telling you they know how this is gonna turn out is lying. This is a leap of faith regardless of who is the nominee.

Hey, back in 2016, that was me.

Warren's main chance at any position is with Sanders, Wall St doesn't want her near law enforcement

Klob doesn't bring enough to the table, but who does?

Oh yea well Bloomberg isn't going to recruit her after last night lol, he's still trying to figure out what happened.

I really wish that Gavin Newsom had run

Did you take the DeLorean?

Heard on Nbc that one poll showed Bernie being the only one with more than 15% (32%) in California, and that if that ends up being the result he would of course get all of the California delegates. That would be great ^_^

 

[Camikaze]

Delegates are awarded on the state-wide and congressional district level. So he would have to be the only one clearing 15% in both the entire state and each congressional district in order to win all the delegates. So the difficulty he faces is that he is quite likely to achieve an unassailable lead in California, but it's a harder ask to achieve an outright majority of delegates.

Never try to explain reality to an enthusiastic Bernie supporter. It's like trying to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Tim....you can keep that condescending stuff to yourself. I will not stop laughing at you when Bernie is the nominee....better still he actually beats Trump unlike your heroine

Once again, I have to ask how your entire life came to be centered around me?

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Of all the circumstances in this case, that may be the most pernicious. The truth still exists. The truth still matters. Roger Stone's insistence that it doesn't, his belligerence, his pride in his own lies are a threat to our most fundamental institutions, to the very foundation of our democracy.

Spot on, and could just as easily be said about Donald Trump.

I could ask you the same. Napoleon was a pig too. You are just that gullible horse, and it doesn't end well

You could ask, but it would be a monumentally stupid question. Ratbrains has five posts in two weeks, and more than half of them are directed at saying something snotty to me. You think you'll find any such devotion in my posting, go find it. Back it up or shut it up.

No, no you don't. No need to send earthquakes down ballot.

Let me amend that. Gavin Newsom would lose the Democratic primary in his own state.

Literally what

 

[Rashiminos]

More Californians will be thinking "recall" than "President."

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Based on what exactly? He's popular.

AB5 putting people out of work.
