How can all of the democrat candidates be this flawed! How could they not have come up with one good candidate?


They got lucky with Bill Clinton and Obama.
Now their pool is drained and they have
nobody for the forseeable future. The other
side has a bunch of good ones, like Ted
Cruz. The Dems are lame, they can only
seem to produce a good one every
generation. You had FDR, Kennedy,
Clinton. Obama looked good but was
terrible. Don't look for another electable
Dem anytime soon.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Ted Cruz is too far right to win a nationwide election. He might be too far right to win again even in Texas. I do agree he is bright and well spoken and otherwise Presidential.

Don't be too sure. He's very intelligent
and presidential acting. I didn't care
for him in 16 but like him a lot now.
The Dems never attract the best and
the brightest, only the flawed and the
greedy.

Bernie Sanders admitted that he had been informed that there was evidence that Russia had been trying to influence the Democrat primary to help Bernie Sanders! And he’s had this information for around a month! And he did not think this was something that he should disclose to the public!

Three house Bernie is such a hypocrite! Now that this info is public, of course he is saying that when he is President, Putin will not be able to influence any American elections! Funny how silent he was during the time that he thought Putin was helping him and the information was not public!!!

I’ve heard the other democrat candidates say, this should not be about Sanders, this should be about Trump! Basically, Sanders is saying I can be as slimy as Trump! We shall see if any of the other democrat candidates jump on this like they should!

How can all of the democrat candidates be this flawed! How could they not have come up with one good candidate? Why can’t the only non senile, non socialist candidate (Klobuchar) get any traction?


This flawed?

What do you do with a guy who continues to deny the Russians meddled at all?
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

You put up a candidate that can win the swing states. You certainly don’t put up a Sanders or Warren.

A lot to me depends on what the Russians were actually doing. If they were trying to hack into an actual voting machine and change a Williamson vote to Sanders then I use the full force of the US government to go after them. If someone tells me a Russian spy was posting anti Buttigieg messages on WoV I am frankly less concerned. The phrase ‘trying to influence’ is just way too broad for me.
I think the mainstream media, which theoretically should not be partisan, tries to influence the election in ways far more damaging than any foreign power. They cloak their hit pieces in the cover of news pieces all the time.
I’ve said it before. Show me ONE vote illegally changed from one candidate to another by an illegal act of Russia. I’m still waiting.

No elections changed from lack of voter ID, yet you want something done there.

You do not know this. What does requiring ID, which is the most basic election security, have to do with the fairy tale that the Russians somehow "interfered" with the election.

As to the media I would say that sitting on the "Access Hollywood" tape until the very end is far more interfering than the Russians did. Same as CBS flat out making up a story about Bush in 2004.

If a few social media posts is "interfering" then you might want to move to a place with unfree elections. Not "interference" there.
The President is a fink.

You must be embarrassed after re-reading this post.....

You think the voters who did so illegally announce themselves after?

I see AZ took care of my points above....

I want proof illegal voters changed elections. Read that carefully. There's no proof elections were changed from voter fraud. Neither of you offered any proof.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The now-disbanded voting integrity commission launched by the Trump administration uncovered no evidence to support claims of widespread voter fraud, according to an analysis of administration documents released Friday.

Notice the word ‘WIDESPREAD’. No evidence of WIDESPREAD voter fraud. There have been multiple examples of people voting more than once, dead people voting, etc.... You can find the examples online if you want to. I can’t prove illegal voters changed elections .......
BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS WONT LET ME! They block voter ID laws which would expose any attempt to cheat. SINCE THEY BLOCK THISE LAWS THEY ALLOW THE CHEATING! And block discovery of such.

I DO agree with you that voter fraud is unlikely to be widespread. And unlikely to have affected any major election. That doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be prevented.

I can’t get my teeth cleaned without ID
I can’t buy a beer at my supermarket without ID
I can’t buy a gun without ID
I can’t have a prescription filled without ID

Enter the real effing world. Get an ID. Use it when voting. I’ll use my tax dollars to pay for it.
