@Not Henry Kissinger

But lots of yang gangers are not happy about it. Yang ran on things differently than Biden did I believe..

BTW if anyone is interested in what Moosetits has to say about Bernie

I know it must suck tasting victory, with a fragmented field giving him and his hardcore base of support an advantage over the rest of the field. But just like in 2016, Bernie Sanders isn’t built for a consolidated field, and the problem isn’t “the establishment.” The problem is that he refuses to do anything to grow his support.

While Sanders has led the field in national polling, he hasn’t been able to crack 30% in the polling composite. When you can’t get a third of the support, you have no business being put in charge.

But here’s the thing: He didn’t need to be stuck at less than a third of the party’s support. He could’ve set the stage to hoover up the support from other candidates the way that Joe Biden appears to be doing. So why isn’t that (seemingly) not happening?

Because when you make a career out of demonizing Democrats and signaling to your supporters to demonize any detractors, well, that’s called “burning bridges.” And burning bridges is a shitty way to rally support. That means insulting and calling any Democrats who don‘t support you “neoliberals” and “corporatists” and whatever other insipid insult isn’t helpful. And yes, while all candidates had overly zealous supporters, only one campaign’s supporters were systematically awful, and only one’s were apparently encouraged to be so by the campaign’s top brass.

Today, former Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid endorsed Joe Biden. This is how Sanders’ campaign manager reacted:

Disappointing. I'll forever have respect and love for Senator Reid. But I'm old enough to remember when he thought Biden's ideas were worthy of being put in a fireplace.

Kos thinks that's an attack on Reid. Oh Markos you need thicker skin if you think that was an attack. But I'd love to see the look on kos' face if Bernie goes all the way. He's also bitching about Bernie not getting more than 30% of the votes. Guess he hasn't noticed that lots more people are running this time. It's worth a read to see what else he considers an attack.

In raw vote totals, Sanders received about half the votes in Iowa and New Hampshire that he did in 2016.

D'oh!

LMAO..he says he's showing something Bernie said when it's something someone else said Bernie said. Sorry guys I just had to share this with you. The pie fights have been epic and people get away with saying "f'ck that person and the horse they rode in on. Some times it's directed at Tulsi.

And in case you forgot:

Bernie isn’t a Democrat -he’s an independent who has glommed onto the Democratic Party that’s he likes to demonize,then set himself apart as a democratic socialist. It’s called hypocrisy - maybe he should be wearing red. He’s an angry, flailing old white guy with ideas that inflame a low information segment of disenfranchised voters too blind to realize he has NO plan to cure their collective indignation. He’s Trump with an IQ! 30 recs.

It goes downhill fast.

I guess this qualifies for DCOTN.

Somehow I can't see that hashtag ever trending, can you?

@Alligator Ed … the fact that the Republicans in the Senate are gearing up for Ukrainegate II, focusing on the Bidens and Burisma, so this is emerging as a focal point of the campaign. Mainstream Dems who have been crowing about the "S" word and Bernie's problems with "electability" are going to be eating some crow after Biden gets subjected to the same sort of attacks once the tapes of his "Quid Pro Quo" statements are replayed ad nauseum in Trump attack ads, and who knows what the Senate investigating committees might dig up that's not already known. Biden, not Bernie, is by far the riskier pick for Dems who want to unseat Trump in 2020.

#3 because he ain't gonna have one. He will have an acute attack of senility in the weeks leading up to Milwaukee. I am a doctor and I know the signs. Rapidly reversable dementia superimposed on slowly-progressive degenerative dementia. JoJop is fucked up and this will be made known after he secures the nomination. When the madding crowd departs Milwaukee, JoJo apparently won't know his own name. He will suggest to the assembled faithful, that his long-time friend, H. Rodent Clinton gets his support. Then he will retreat into a posh asylum, exiting only after HRC ascends to her lawful place on the throne. A cure. A medical miracle has reversed his dementia! Not really.

And just yesterday he tried to say, "We hold these truths to be self evident under gawd...."
and he couldn't remember it and just said, "You know the thing."

The greatest hits start around 5 mins. Saagar also has a segment on Biden's thought processes. The only reason I'd want Joe to win is to see the debate between him and Trump. But I bet they would rig it to be filmed the day before so they can edit out Biden's FU's and let him have a second go. Why not? We are witnessing kabuki theater at it's finest already.

@Not Henry Kissinger

Bloomberg is just Hillary's Frankenstein.

I think Obama has much more control over the present DNC than Hillary although she certainly still wields considerable juice.

Bloomberg didn't enter the race to cut Bernie's vote down but to cut down Biden's to ensure a brokered convention where anything goes.

And if and when anything goes, Bloomberg's moola comes big into play.

I can see a Hillary - Warren ticket if Biden falls short. Unless of course, the Bernmeister pulls off a miracle today.

#4 #4

helps Bernie. Non-viable and mostly pulling from Biden.

Gonna be fun watching the PTB try to move Bloomie out, after they just convinced him to spend half a billion to jump in.

@Not Henry Kissinger but drafting the positions of the candidates, even day to day, would require an MP4, not a Venn diagram.

The principle is that most of these "candidates" are lying a-holes. Many are in it to get a post in the new ain't gonna happen Dem administration. Liawatha for Secretary of the Interior, so she can be in charge of the Cherokees, Sioux, Navajo, etc. Amy Klobuchar for Secretary of the Environment so she gets oil pipelines for Minnesota. Andy Yang for Secretary of Treasury where he can try to block chain the Federal Reserve out of existence. The California Camel for Department of Justice--hoo hah, won't that be nice! Beto gets to be Secretary of Homeland Insecurity. Buttjiggle gets to be deputy head of CIA.

#7

She used to occupy a similar spot to Yang, but is now moving on an axis toward the Her circle.

Remember also: this is a diagram about where the candidates position themselves during the election, which are not necessarily the same positions they would be in if they governed.
