Geezer

No conspiracy.  The conspiracy is from Putin and 45 to artificially prop up the "socialist" candidate in order for 45 to easily win again. No dice. The majority of democrats aren't that dumb.

That is the craziest conspiracy theory you've posted yet JT.  Given that Sanders is the only candidate that even stands a chance of beating Trump, there is no way anyone would be conspiring to help him get the nomination. No. Trump wants Biden, AKA Hillary 2.0, to be his competition. That race is completely predictable. The people didn't want a status quo candidate 4 years ago, and absolutely nothing has changed.

 

Putting Biden up against Trump is essentially handing another 4 years to Trump.  If there is any conspiracy at all, it is to get Biden on the ticket. Not Sanders. Sanders might actually win. Biden has no more shot at the presidency than Hillary did.

Thanks for sharing. The trouble is a significant percentage of democrats disagree with you especially if Biden picks an exciting woman VP, specifically STACEY ABRAMS.

Nobody, but really absolutely nobody is a greater clown than the present usa president. ANYbody would be better...

A significant percentage of Democrats wanted Hillary too. Doesn't mean anything. Pay attention to the anger of voters in the swing states. That is what matters. What Democrats care about is largely irrelevant.

 

[Brigand]

I know I'm going into unPC ground but I don't really care. Top-and-tail-of-it is that America is nowhere near the point where it will accept a Mr. President and his First Husband. Sorry to be brutal, but no ...woman president is the next one when the right candidate comes up.

[sirineou]

As a centrist he took away from Bident, I am sure the DNC had a conversation with him and a deal for his departure was struck. Klobuchar and Bloomberg are  next.  

I am sure Sanders campaign is having similar conversations with Warren.

Nothing to see here, just move along, Just a DNC's effort to give as another Hilary .

Well you're halfway there, he's gay. Just didn't have a tranny wife for the set.

Pay attention to how the vast majority of Americans hear the word socialism and they freak out. Younger people don't. But guess what? They generally don't vote.

Tranny wife? Seriously?

Whose the butterball? 45?

Obama is not a Muslim. 

Not that there is anything wrong with being one.

Absolutely.

[Why Me]

Dang, I had this vision of President Pete flying off to a one-on-one with Putin at a dacha by the Black Sea where they fall madly in love causing all wars everywhere to stop instantly.

 

The only terrorist left is in South Bend, IN, until the police chief tells Chasten to cut it out, it's over, Pete's with Vlad now.

 I thought he was the logical choice for the party to stay center! But this party isn't logical ,better yet not recognizable

Pete failed miserably at getting the black vote. No candidate can be nominated as a democrat with such poor appeal. Also very important in the general election. Sad to say, he didn't deserve their support based on his performance as small city mayor.

At least The Economist gets it. The Angry Election.

Well, when he "moved" to the center changing his advocacy for Medicare For All to Medicare For All Who Want It the oh-so-clever facade crumbled to reveal yet another pandering pol.

 

Honestly, a mayor of a one stoplight town waking up one morning thinking he should be President of the US would be laughed out of the room if not for the young woke gay thing appeal. Which can only carry you so far.

Pete's appeal is not to "young, woke, gay" people. It is to old, white people with money. Same as Warren. It is monied Democrats who are afraid of Bernie, not Republicans. Biden is an ok compromise if he sticks to his hints of one term and picks a new Democrat standard bearer as VP. Could turn into a 12 year run for Democrats. I get theappeal of an Abrams but there's already been way too much Obama affiliation in his campaign to go the distance. I'd prefer he went with someone like Yang, who IMO is the best political candidate since Teddy Roosevelt.  That said if Bernie's primary showing in the delegate count is more than a few points higher than Biden's I would not like to see the superdelegates interfere in the democratic process.

And now Amy Klobuchar joins Pete in dropping out and endorsing Joe Biden, yet another overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy to screw Bernie out of the nomination.

Why would someone who cannot win not drop out? Why wouldn't they endorse the candidate who most closely aligns with their own values and policies? None of that thwarts voters in primaries from voting for anyone they'd like to, including Bernie. You're getting way ahead of the unfolding democratic process. Yeah, if Bernie leads the delegate count by 10% or more at the convention but still gets thwarted by the superdelegates, THEN you might have a point. I'm more interested in why the perennial loser,liar, equivocater Warren is NOT getting out.

I've made my peace with 4more.

 

Bernie will not only lose himself the Republicans will flip the House and keep the Senate. The only power Dems will still have 2021-24 is to be able to switch their living room TV channel from the gloating and ruination.

 

As for Joe, not only is he showing senile decline he still appears tormented by Hunter questions by the media. You'd think his handlers would have gotten him past that by now.

Premature prognostications. First of all wait for the super Tuesday results before assuming Bernie will even be nominated. Most democrats don't want that.

No. The panic is about nominating someone that can easily be demonized as a commie and thus easily beaten. 

[Number 6]

He's always been running for VP. Just another political whore. Mayors never, ever, ever become President. Ever.
