All this work to deny someone trying to get people healthcare. We will know after Super Tuesday if the Democrats have succeeded in rigging the deck enough for Biden-does nothing and jumps 20% in the polls
I'm not arguing for any candidate.
Think it will be difficult for Sanders to unify a Democrat vote - VP running mate could be crucial.
Trump was the populist vote last time. That sector of the voting population will follow trump again.
Yep, got a friend in Brooklyn did exactly the same. He's half Puerto Rican too!purely anecdotal but I spoke to several traditional Democrat voters last time I was in the States who voted Trump because they absolutely hate Hilary.
Didn't realise how toxic the Clinton name was to many over there.

Who is more left, Biden or Bernie?
Biden left? Fucking hell, he's more right wing than Trump!
Really? How can someone who's not from the left side go against trump lol! Thought it was like this country with Labour/Conservatives
it is but the Democrats, just like Labour have some fairly right leaning politicians. Both Obama and Clinton pulled some stuff that was right out of the Republican play book.
As someone pointed out in another thread, how did Obama get the Nobel peace prize, he dropped more bombs than anyone!
That will be mad then, right vs right! Who will the socialists and left vote for?!?!?
They'll abstain from voting altogether, same as they did last time.That will be mad then, right vs right! Who will the socialists and left vote for?!?!?
Looks like you're right - establishment going to try and squeeze Sanders out. Bloomberg will be gone soon so his support will transfer to Biden as well. Basically a 2 horse race.All this work to deny someone trying tor get people healthcare.

Last time some voted for Trump - anti-Hilary, Trump considered anti-establishment like Sanders, some trade policy similarities. Enough supported Trump in 3 key states to swing the election (in electoral college seats).That will be mad then, right vs right! Who will the socialists and left vote for?!?!?

The Non-Voters Who Decided The Election: Trump Won Because Of Lower Democratic Turnout
The story of Hillary Clinton’s defeat, then, is not the Trump Movement erupting in the ballots, nor the fable that some “Reagan Democrats” flipped again from Obama to Trump. The story is altogether different, and very simple: the Democratic base did not turn out to vote as it did for Obama. Those sure-Democrats who stayed home handed the election to Trump.
Take Michigan for example. A state that Obama won in 2012 by 350,000 votes, Clinton lost by roughly 10,000. Why? She received 300,000 votes less than Obama did in 2012. Detroit and Wayne County should kick themselves because of the 595,253 votes they gave Obama in 2012, only 518,000 voted for Clinton in 2016. More than 75,000 Motown Obama voters did not bother to vote for Clinton. They did not become Trump voters – Trump received only 10,000 votes more than Romney did in this county. They simply stayed at home. If even a fraction of these lethargic Democrats had turned out to vote, Michigan would have stayed blue.
Wisconsin tells the same numbers story, even more dramatically. Trump got no new votes. He received exactly the same number of votes in America’s Dairyland as Romney did in 2012. Both received 1,409,000 votes. But Clinton again could not spark many Obama voters to turn out for her: she tallied 230,000 votes less than Obama did in 2012. This is how a 200,000-vote victory margin for Obama in the Badger State became a 30,000-vote defeat for Clinton.
Trump is now on borrowed time.
The US is a massive covid-19 timebomb and it’s about to explode. A quarter of the population have no health cover so can’t even afford to get tested for the virus. Trump has dismissed the virus as a joke for the last few weeks and only now is waking up to the scale of the disaster that’s about to be unleashed.
The electorate will hold him responsible.
Nonsense!Trump is now on borrowed time.

Does everyone really think Trump decides on all his courses of action just by himself?
He has a team advisors working with him just like any politician around the world.
The US can call upon prestigious experts in almost any field.
All this trash talk about Trump's decision making is absolute nonsense.
We all know the vast majority of media outlets hate Trump and will slant everything he does in a negative light.
Just a coincidence that the countries that were left off his travel ban were ones with Trump properties? Also a coincidence that there has been little testing in the US until Oscar Health got up to speed, the same Oscar health whose founder and major stockholder is Joshia Kushner, Jared's brother?Does everyone really think Trump decides on all his courses of action just by himself?
He throws a tantrum when anyone disagrees with him and fires them.
And how do you he threws a tantrum? Were you in the meetings in the White House?
Far too many leaks/reports of this happening for it not to have any truth. A lot of tweets criticising others are effectively tantrums because those people won't do or say what he wants. People he had complete faith in a week ago are suddenly 'failed', 'corrupt','stupid' or 'fake'
He's used to getting his own way and has been since a small child. So he still acts like that.
And I wouldn't be surprised that those leaks were from disgruntled former employees, who realised that their time of doing nothing to help the country and collecting their cheque was up. Now of course they're saying things like: 'He's this and that'. Therefore a huge clear out had to take place. If you want talk about a bully try John Bolton.
Glad your not in charge of wrongful dismissal tribunals "Disgruntled employee. Next!"
Stop watching fox newsDoes everyone really think Trump decides on all his courses of action just by himself?
