Biden’s staff won’t even let him take questions on Social Security anymore, he’s just handing out a leaflet with talking points on it to any member of the press that asks about SS.

THIS is the man that the MSM thinks is best equipped to take on Trump. :psyduck:

Look, “Bloomberg should be on stage because he’s polling well” is a fine point to make but the DNC changing the rules this late in the game after Tom Perez already said the rules can’t be changed to have a climate change debate because it might benefit some candidates and not others, you can understand why people were pissed when they heard this news.

Not a single Bernie oppo dump has lasted more than a day or so.

Oddly enough I think the Joe Rogan broohaha actually lasted the longest. Maybe 3 days or so?

Bernie is immune to all this poo poo. I honestly don’t know, if one of the other campaigns was paying me a bunch of money to help them win, what I would actually tell them to do.

Like, I understand your other points, but not this one. What’s the implication here, and where’s the link between her moving to MA, changing her registration, and Clinton (I’m assuming Bill, not Hillary, given the timeline?) being a lock for re-election?

I assume the larger point is that Clinton’s re-election signified a resurgence of the Democratic Party on the national stage, so she moved to MA (a Democratic stronghold) to take advantage of that.

Not agreeing or disagreeing with that but I understood their point.

One thing that will be overlooked in this era is just how loving hilarious Trump can be. Him constantly ripping the veneer off of everyone in both his party and the Dems and revealing the whole process to be the absolute sham that it is will never not be funny.

Too bad he’s a fascist and a racist too.

All Yang voters are extremely online.

He's not a centrist either. I'm not sure exactly what he is, but I do like the conversation he brought to the forefront, in that it's sold as a minimum standard of living for all Americans and even though it's expensive, it feels tangible

Yang seems to understand that we have BIG problems that require BIG solutions. That’s good.

What’s NOT good is that he mostly misidentifies the problems AND the solutions. Like his whole fear mongering about automation is silly. When automation is treated as some independent autonomous force, like some Terminator poo poo, it completely lets the corporations making the decisions to utilize automation (and eliminate jobs) in their businesses off the hook.

I’m glad he’s in the race and has planted the UBI seed in peoples brains, but I’m also glad that he’s mostly irrelevant.

If losing Iowa doesn’t matter that much, what does winning it get you?

A lead in delegates plus a bump in support in subsequent states.

But for Bernie it means shedding the “unelectable” label for a significant portion of the electorate.

Yes. If not more so. There weren’t a lot of polls to make us feel much better. And even the ones that were good we didn’t trust because of 2016.
