Democratic Nominee in 2020

Quote: Wizard

Here is a list of Democratic presidential candidates in Las Vegas Valley before Nevada caucus.

I am thinking of going to this Town Hall on Feb 13. I've never been to a Town Hall before and am not quite sure what to expect.

Have you caucused?

Have you noticed you can't watch
a YouTube video or turn on a TV
without seeing a Mayor of Munchkin-
land Bloomberg commercial? And
they're all either bashing Trump
or touting what Bloomberg did
for NY. No ads about what his
platform is except get rid of
Trump.
This never works. Trump had a
clear platform, that's why he was
elected. Hillary had none, and
she lost. Name one thing Hillary
ran on besides Obama was great,
and Trump isn't. Bloomberg is
blowing a lot of money for nothing.

As of now the total Delegate Count is:

Pete Buttigieg- 23
Bernie Sander- 21
Elizabeth Warren- 8
Amy Klobuchar- 7
Joe Biden- 6

Everyone else that is still in the race- 0.

With Buttigieg winning Iowa and Sanders and Buttigieg tying in New Hampshire (yes, Sanders had more votes, but it still was a delegate tie which is all that matters). It seems like Buttigieg will likely be the nominee by either winning or tying the early states. If Warren drops out, Sanders has a much better chance of catching up (she is siphoning votes from him as many of their supporters overlap).
Buttigieg also has the advantage of establishment support.

I have a feeling Warren may stay in the race just to spite Sanders (given their history and the fact that the DNC establishment does not seem fond of him).
Biden (the presumed front runner going into everything) will need some major game changes to catch back up, but people are rapidly losing interest in him, if he drops, his supporters are more likely to gravitate towards Buttigieg.

The next primary event (caucus) will be in Nevada, as the home state to many members here, it will be interesting to see the involvement and posts from on the ground.

He said he is paying all of his staff fulltime salaries into November and continuing to run ads regardless of when he drops out.
He basically said (paraphrasing) he has money to blow and wants to get his brand out there and make his staff happy and loyal.

I heard Warren is edging toward endorsing Klobuchar.

Yeah, no. IA and NH are white
as driven snow, few Gay hating
minorities. It's going to be tough
going for ButtCrack from here on.

Primaries go to July, yes?

He could spend $100,000,000 a DAY, every single day, right up until the end, and still have $50,000,000,000 left over.

He has everything to gain and not one single thing to lose, especially considering...

Good grief! Biden NEVER had a
chance ANY the 3 times he ran.
Are you SERIOUS? The guy is an
idiot, surely you see that. Every
time he's ever opened his mouth
god knows what comes out. He's
done. Again. Nobody has EVER
been in 4th and 5th place in IA
and NH and become the nominee.
It's not possible, all his momentum
is in the opposite direction.

On WoV circa 2015 you will see my words in 100% support of Trump because A) I wanted to see what a proper businessman could do, and B) I was fed up with back door dealings in favor of the elite over the hoi polloi.

In other words, your average American is cripplingly retarded.

Biden, and Bloomberg, have really solid shots. Their uselessness is completely immaterial.

Really shocking. Out of only 8 candidates, 4 are older than the oldest POTUS to assume office, and 2 are younger than the youngest POTUS to assume office.

Tulsi Gabbard April 12, 1981 (age 38)
Pete Buttigieg January 19, 1982 (age 38)

26 Theodore Roosevelt 42 years, 322 days
35 John F. Kennedy 43 years, 236 days
42 Bill Clinton 46 years, 154 days
18 Ulysses S. Grant 46 years, 311 days
44 Barack Obama 47 years, 169 days

I don't consider Teddy and Grant that young when you look at life expectancy during there time. Grant was 4 years past the average. Teddy was 7 years younger then the average of 49. Average is almost 80 now and oldest Dems are under that. Reagan was just a year under the average. Bernie is old but we are living longer.
