James DiEugenio Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) It is really something how quickly the party is rallying around a guy who, to me, represents just about everything we want to get rid of in the Democratic establishment. Plus now, I think there are some really worrisome signs that Biden is getting a bit senile. Very disappointing. Who would you take: AOC or Amy K? No brainer.

W. Niederhut Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 This is, admittedly, a cheap shot, but I had to laugh when I saw it at Common Dreams today. There's a reason, IMO, that Biden went 0-for-3 in the first three Democratic primaries/caucuses. He simply wasn't sharp in the debates. (My apologies, in advance, to Biden supporters.) .

I liked his last town hall though. Gave me a bit more ease if it turns out to be him. The debates make everyone look stupid at least part of the time. I don't pay any attention to them.

Douglas Caddy Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Just 41% of Americans approve of how President Trump is handling his job, while 54% disapprove, the March IBD/TIPP Poll finds. That negative 13-point differential has nearly doubled in the past month. In late January, Trump's job approval registered 44% and disapproval 51%. Now just 37% of independents give Trump positive reviews, while 57% disapprove. That's down from 39%-53% in late January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning Virginia and North Carolina is significant because those are two swing states that the Democrats have to win in November. Obama won them, and Hillary didn't, as I recall.

Ron Bulman Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 The party is coming together (ha). Exit polls say 81% will vote for whoever the nominee is in November. Hope that's enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James DiEugenio Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) As the old sage stated, it ain't over until its over. I have to say that sometime in the future, I really do hope someone goes over this all with a fine tooth comb. Buttigieg was important e.g. deprived Bernie of a clean win in Iowa, narrowed the gap in New Hampshire, and then was influential in the rally for Biden yesterday. The other factor is whatever that PAC was that gave Warren nine million to stay in a race that she cannot win. Because if one looks at the margins in some of the states Biden won, without Warren I think Sanders could have taken them. The other point is that Super Tuesday is heavily concentrated in southern states, most of which, the Democrats will not win in the general election. That was a lifesaver for Biden. The Democratic establishment will resort to anything in order to stop Bernie. They did a good job tonight in achieving that end.

The problem is Bernie's not really a Democrat even though I agree with him quite often. His other problem is he probably won't get any support for his initiatives if he becomes POTUS. People are tired of the bickering. I think there's a good chance a more centrist candidate would send Florida blue. If so, that removes the Rube Goldberg math for a Dem win. Trump goes packing. That's the most important thing by a factor of 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump's far beyond cognitively impaired though. That would be an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
