2020 Presidential Election

[BullDog]

It's obvious Russia is backing Bernie - as are Trump and the Republicans - because he is the easiest for Trump to beat! This is the absolute proof with this news that Sanders was briefed. Everyone knows this except the Bernie faithful who think they are smarter than the rest of the world.

And they keep saying but look at the head-to-head matchups. No one has hit Sanders with all the opposition research yet - they have been friendly to Bernie. They don't even need to make anything up about Sanders. His own history writes the attack ads. In the meantime, Biden shows the best head-to-head matchups with Trump in the swing states and that's after the Ukraine scandal.

Another thing that really bothers me is Sanders trying to suggest the Washington Post dumped the story to hurt him in Nevada. First of all, there is huge early voting in Nevada - so no it won't. Also, the American public has the right to know this! He wants it kept secret from us. It shows how Russia favors him as the nominee so Trump can beat him. Voters have a right to know this.

Then he just said yesterday how the Democratic establishment can't stop him. If you are the President or nominee of a party you are supposed to be the leader of the party - not oppose it! He makes me furious.

People need to start using their heads when they vote or it's 4 more years of Trump. Sanders will drag down the Senate and House too. And how long can Ginsburg last on the Supreme Court.

It's looking good for Bernie tonight. I'm happy.

It is good to see you back on the boards, Bulldog.

I agree … I think people need to exercise a wide berth of caution as the months roll by before the big election this coming fall.

With a Republican controlled senate, and with heavy placement of conservative right-leaning judicial appointees who will serve a life time (reigning ach-ee-double-ell judges), and other unknown and unnamed conspirators who have helped the conservative right in upending democracy in favor of dictatorial rule and mindset, it is very worrisome and deeply concerning.



Was it Oscar Wilde who once said that, "For evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing"?

In nearly six months, I hope that a massive majority of voters will elect to oust the dictator in the WH (and subsequent henchmen across the political spectrum) and effectively say: "Game Over."

Wow. A huge victory. South Carolina won't be that strong or perhaps even a victory, but this is reason to feel hopeful. Go, Bernie!

Yes, of course, Latino Democrat politicians aren't going to endorse him because it would be political suicide. And it would be political suicide for all the Democratic House Members and Senators to have to run with him leading the ticket.

The Congressional Democrats have made it clear they don't want to run with him, Trump obviously favors him, the Russians are trying to help him win the Democratic nomination. How much more evidence do people need????? Do you really think we can survive 4 more years of Trump?

Barack Obama was quoted as having said, that "Bernie Sanders is stoppable."

I think this is entirely true for any presidential candidate that does not have the best interests of the country at heart (including members of the GOP and that horrid person occupying the WH).

Polling has Sanders the biggest winner over Trump in most states where a Democrat would likely win. Not in New York (I think it was Bloomberg), but he would certainly carry New York if he got the nomination. He is the most electable Democrat at the moment. I don't know what negative info people think might be out there, but I think since Bernie has been in Congress for thirty years, most of it has come out.

Bloomberg is going to hurt Biden and Klobuchar and perhaps Warren. But he's not taking Bernie voters, predictably. So he is actually helping Sanders. Bernie has got the Democratic Party and the liberal media against him. If there were a lot of negative stories about him, they'd be getting attention now.

MSNBC is so sad. They keep doing the math and hoping it will all come out differently. Lol. They keep giving Klobuchar free publicity. They love her.

Bernie is almost guaranteed to win Michigan in the general election. And he's ahead of Trump in polls in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. That would be it. End of story. Plus he's tied in Florida and only two points behind Trump in Texas in the latest poll. It could be a landslide for Bernie.

Chris Matthews just apologized to Bernie for comparing the Nevada win to the Nazi invasion of France. It was a good moment. Lol.

They are making hay over this Fidel Castro comment though. That was a mistake Bernie didn't need to make.
