Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | I find this rather interesting, but the betting odds at 5dimes show no big favorite in for the 2020 Democratic nominee. Here are the top 11 candidates and their approximate chances of winning, based on the betting market.
If you're wondering who Kamala Harris, she is the junior senator from California, who took over Barbara Boxer's seat. I can't say that I know anything about her at this point, except she might be the most attractive member of the Senate. The question for the poll is who do you think will be the Democratic Nominee in 2020? Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

What a list of ho hum duds. If that's the best they've got, Trump is a shoe in.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

AZDuffman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 135 Posts: 18136 | A look at history shows 2004 to be the best parallel so far, except liberal hatred for Bush43 while we thought could not get worse is nothing like liberal hatred for Trump. Back then, it appeared that Howard Dean would walk away with it, then cooler heads prevailed in Iowa then the same night we had the scream. Then for the first time I ever remember we saw endorsements being retracted. I see the debates being a contest to see who can hate Trump the most and say the most vile things about him. I also still see Hillary jumping in unless her health is as bad as it looks and she cannot handle it. On the list, Biden is the establishment choice. That means less and less. The establishment tried and failed to sink Trump. The establishment fixed the election for Hillary and Bernie still took it to the 13th round. Don't look for the establishment to do any better this time. Obama was the first to break them in 2008. They got Hillary in 2016 but by so little it shows how their power is on the wane. I'd make a drinking game of the debates for every time you hear "racist," "sexist," "homphobe," and "protect Roe" buy I ain't bein responsible for anyone getting alcohol poisoning. The President is a fink. |

Biden will be 78 in 2020, and he's an idiot. Not a chance.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

If the Democrats ran a young candidate who picked an old moderate Republican for vice with no whiff of Trump-stink on em, I might go for that. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Biden would be 80 in his first 2 years. Can you imagine that bumbling moron at 80 and in the WH? Neither can anybody else.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

That is largely why I just bet $1,000 on Trump to win. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | Here is some birthdays and current position. I would be surprised if someone from CA or NY gets nominated. Ordered by age
% Voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 61.73% California 60.01% Massachusetts 59.01% New York 56.68% Vermont 54.99% New Jersey Selecting a candidate from one of these Democratic stronghold states is unlikely to help win Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida. Everyone knows they are going to vote Democratic anyway. In October 2017, Steyer spent around $10 million for a television ad campaign advocating the impeachment of President Donald Trump and plans to spend millions more on a digital ad campaign to call for Trump's impeachment. In the ad Steyer identifies himself only as an "American citizen" and alleges that Trump "brought us to the brink of nuclear war, obstructed justice at the FBI and, in direct violation of the Constitution, has taken money from foreign governments and threatened to shut down news organizations that report the truth." Trump has responded by calling Steyer "wacky and totally unhinged." Steyer's "friend' and "former neighbor" Nancy Pelosi and other powerful Democrats who claim impeachment is off the table are also at odds against Steyer. |
