I'd rank Gillibrand higher and Harris lower personally; Harris has kissed more rings but in a timeline where Biden's running too that doesn't matter as much

the absolute best part of the jungle primary is there's gonna be like 5 different rich idiots backing their favorite corporate dem so they're all gonna cancel each other out. none of them are gonna all get behind one person. obama coalition, clinton coalition, moderate republicans that hate trumps decorum. i mean they're all the same group, but there's different actors in them.

the primary isn't gonna break up into any kind of discernable factions because most people don't pick candidates in primaries via ideology, and donor/political relationships are driven more by personal friendships. it's gonna be a huge mess that will just sort of shake itself out in 8-9 months in what will likely be an unpredictable manner.

the best thing about this prediction is that it is completely impossible to verify one way or the other

like the weatherman saying "50% chance of sun, 50% chance of rain", it's always right

I would call that the opposite of a prediction, given I specifically said it is going to shake out in an unpredictable manner.

We're not even considering the random celebrities that are going to try a vanity run. If Donald Trump can do it, literally anyone with any sort of fame has a shot.

We're going to need a world cup style tournament bracket.

with a POLITICAL SCIENCE DEGREE

seriously though I had to stop reading that at this part:

quote:

I have no insight into his views on Roe v. Wade—something extremely important to me as a liberal, female Democrat and mother of a teenage girl. But whatever he decides on Roe, I know it will be because he believes the Constitution requires that result.

and in the end that's what really matters :shepicide:

sanders got 60% of the vote in nh in 2016, he will be very lucky to get over 30% in a far more fragmented field. plenty of candidates will pull support from him, and not necessarily people who are also gunning for the left.

So you're saying with an increase of 3-4 times to the amount of candidates (more so of an increase if you consider viable candidates) his ratio of votes would only drop by half at most?

Basically he'll still win by plurality then

What matters most for Bernie is he has a national profile and lots of recognition. The average primary vote could probably describe him and his policies to you. You can't say the same for Kamala Harris or Corey Booker.

Sane moderate Mike Pence writing the NYT op-ed letting the american public know that Adults are working around the clock to ensure Mr. Trump doesn't break anything. So there's really no need to impeach.
