bendejo Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 IMO the only reason Joe is polling so well is name recognition. Only the people who put effort into following politics have an inkling of who the rest of the contenders are, unless they are from the area where they live. All this polling stuff is just info-tainment at this point, it doesn't matter until the primaries are neigh. In the meantime they have until the end of the year to get themselves known. Amy K and Kamala scored well this week. I don't think Joe will make it to the primaries, and that will not sadden me. The GOP had to deal with this in 2011-2012: Romney was the front-runner, then someone else comes along and he becomes the front runner, then the following week some else comes along etc... In the meantime I have 3 lists: those I like, those I dislike, and those who I don't know enough to make the call. But hold on now -- plenty of time for GOP contenders to come along. Republicans are going to vote for the Republican candidate because that's what they do (the Dems not so easy, just ask the Bernie supporters from 2016), so DT is polling in the 40s. That could change, and I suspect there is whispering in the ranks regarding this. So really, the Dems don't know who they will be running against in 2020. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskerDo Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Biden is such a goofball. Look in the "deals" he made with China. Sad politician and negotiator. Here is part of a story related to his son's dealings in China...... An investment fund backed by Hunter Biden, son of 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden, invested in a surveillance system used to spy on Muslims in China, a new report claims. The former vice president has been facing scrutiny over his son’s business dealings in Ukraine and other countries, with reports focusing on Hunter Biden’s role in the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings. The company employed the younger Biden as a board member as the U.S. and the Obama administration were mulling a course of action amid Russia's invasion in Eastern Ukraine. Biden also apparently threatened the Ukrainian president to fire a prosecutor who happens to have been investigating corruption of Burisma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The economy hasn't been this good possibly ever. Lowest unemployment since 1962 I think. The Dems have serious issues and there are too many of them taking votes from the others. Regardless who their candidate is (and it won't be Bernie) people will still give Bernie(and others) their votes. The Dems have nothing to run on other than still beating a dead horse related to the Russian witch hunt and now trying to get his tax returns to "hunt" for something else. They are trying to tear Trump down instead of building themselves up with some sore of master plan. However, the economy is most important to most so President Trump will still hold that title another 4 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thinnk Biden is a goofball but he did advance gay rights and particularly gay marriage. This was back in the time Obama’s predominantly African American, homophobic, christian voting base was doing their best to block human rights legislation in places like California. However this is not enough to overcome the economic miracle that is the Trump presidemcy so far. The only thing is if Biden can take Pennsylvania. If that isn’t 100% guaranteed he no longer makes sense as a candidate. There are four states that are battlegrounds PA is the major one. The rest are forgone conclusions.

Did a single banker go to jail for their part in the debacle? It may have been allowed by Bush, but subsequent administrations have not punished the guilty. It's not too late, but I doubt Trump sees any political capital in punishing Wall St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden is a buffoon, hair plugs and all. "and I’m sure he was part of lots and lots of legislation that was helpful to the USA".... if you're so sure then post the exact legislation he introduced that was so game changing. "he did get re elected after all".... so did thousands of other deadbeat politicians that said what they had to during their re-elections to get re-elected.

That will drive wages through the roof and improve living conditions, reduce poverty and drastically increase productivity across the board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
