There's no room on the Left anymore for
Centrists. If you're not radical, if you're
not a full-blown socialist, they will blow
you out of the water. Same thing
happened when Reagan beat Carter,
the Left went bonkers radical for
the next 12 years and lost 2 more
elections.


Being a white male doesn't help his cause there, either.

I just saw that they checked Kamala's wish list and it would take a tax rate over 100% to pay for her ideas. Not a surprise as she is probably used to finding some guy to pay her way and does not understand how money works.

Just put the names in a hat
and pick one. So much will
change in the year and a half
till the convention that this
list will be unrecognizable.

Does the media really think
they can keep us interested
in this yawner process thru
two more Easters and two
more 4th of July's? That's
how far away the convention
is.


Agree wholeheartedly with Bob's first paragraph. Disagree with the second. It may be a yawner to you but it will be fascinating to me. I can't wait to hear Corey going after Kamala! And vice-versa!

I'm already bored, you must have a
low fascination threshold.. Every one
of the candidates is boring beyond
belief..

From the Democrats perspective, the strategy is pretty basic.

Last time, almost no one outside of Hillary had name recognition, so it became an exercise of "who else would we have picked?" - a policy fully supported by the DNC as they did their best to suppress anyone else.

This time, by getting names in early, they have a opportunity to be watched, develop name recognition, and develop a following. From other Democrats, not from bob.

They can float their ideas, throw things at the wall to see what sticks, that sort of thing.

And get beaten by Trump. Their all weak
socialists, they don't have a chance against
Trump. I don't know who can beat him, but
he ain't on the first list. It won't be a woman,
that's a fact.

I am hoping you are correct, but why do you say Booker is not a viable candidate?

A bunch of losers. Trump should name
them after the 7 dwarfs.
Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy,
Dopey, Dummy, Spartacus, and Fauxcahontas..

Un fricken believable. Is that group of mo-rons the best they can do? My Trump looks absolutely sane compared to those lunatics!
