Back in 2016, I turned a whole black beauty shop against Bernie just by telling them he wanted to make Obama a one term president. He went from "who's that?" to "hell no!" before I even got under the dryer.

I don't think that's true. I think the problem is that they just don't understand where so much of the electorate is right now. A lot of these people have completely bought their own hype. Biden and Bloomberg do. That's why they have stayed mainly focused on Trump with a few side swipes at other candidates. I don't think Bernie will be the nominee. I know we're through the looking glass but the truth is whenever people actually vote, the revolution tanks. He got smoked in 2016 and none of his endorsed candidates won in 2018. Bernie Sanders simply doesn't represent the Democratic Party. The problem is that the other candidates are splitting the non-Bernie vote. There better be some serious dropouts after South Carolina.

I can't find the original tweet but someone said that Sanders has clearly decided that whatever heat he gets for not showing his medical records isn't as bad as what's in them. More and more I feel like he's acting like someone with nothing to lose who simply doesn't give a [!@#$%^&*] about the damage he's doing. I know, right? A few decades ago we put a man on the moon. How did we go from that to *waves at everything around*?

I like Amy Klobuchar and I think she would make an excellent president. I agree that this is unfortunate and I think it points to a larger issue in the Democratic primary. If you are a white Democrat under the age of 40 even thinking about running for president one day, start reaching out to black people in your community now.

I think people are overestimating the importance of debates, especially after so many but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

If you look at that person's responses to being corrected they act even worse. The ignorance and arrogance is shameful.

So while Bloomberg and Biden are out here taking shots at Sanders he's also being attacked by his own fans for supporting the dairy industry. This is where purity testing gets you. (Also can I ask: when did protesting the dairy industry suddenly become the cool thing to do?) Warning: nudity.

Shots fired. I was wondering why the tweet of the protestors with a Biden coffin suddenly vanished. I suspect it was because they got a heads-up this was coming. Bloomberg just became a hero to a lot of people who have been attacked by Berners for years.

I like Klobuchar and I think she'd be an excellent president but I have no illusions about her ability to win. As for Pete, right now his main value is blocking Bernie. Once we get to the southern primaries he's done.

The person who gets the nom is the one who gets black voters in the south. That means it's either Biden or Bloomberg.

The difference is that the Republican primary has "winner-take-all" states. Democrats award delegates proportionally. That's why it's all but impossible for Bernie to be the nominee, thank goodness. My squad is Lauren Underwood, Katie Porter, Sharice Davids, and Lucy McBath.

We call you Democrats. 🙂 But your question about "what do you call us?" strikes a chord with me. I've always thought of myself as a liberal, not a progressive. Years ago when people would ask me what's the difference between a liberal and a progressive, I would say "Liberals show up to midterms." But now it's deeper than that. Modern progressivism has been eaten alive economic populism. Instead of talking about civil rights and uplifting disenfranchised people, it's all about hating on billionaires and Wall Street. I'm reminded of something I heard in 2016. "I don't care about Wall Street when cops are killing kids on MY street." I agree with you on student loans but for different reasons. Let's say we cancel student loan debt. What happens to the next round of students? Do they just take out the same debt and hope for the same? If so, where does that money come from since the previous generation doesn't have to pay it back? What about people who took out insane loans to attend an expensive school/program, and now have their degree and a lucrative salary? Should their debt be canceled?

Horrible and a perfect example of why I will never vote to send Bernie to the White House. The argument that he's better than Trump doesn't hold water.

Don't forget, at any moment #NaturalCauses2020 could change everything.

I do actually think he's an evil man and when you see the people he surrounds himself with that's a big part of the reason I won't vote for him. Everything about Sanders movement has the feeling of abuse. For five years his cult has been heaping racism, misogyny, and now homophobia at anyone who dares to deny him. Right now Twitter is filled with excited "revolutionaries" who can't wait to line centrists and moderates "up against the wall." There's a DSA candidate in Maine selling merchandise with a guillotine graphic on it. Sanders has spent his life worshiping leftist dictators just like Trump worships the ones on the right. Disenfranchised people will be no safer with Sanders in the White House than we are with Trump. We'd just be exchanging one insane, vengeance-crazed, death cult for another.

He know South Carolina is what matters.

Ukraine is Russian propaganda. Clinton's emails were Russian propaganda. When are Democrats going to stop falling for propaganda? Trump wants the conversation to be about Hunter Biden.

Joe is my guy but I'm fine with Bloomberg spending the money. The purity progs are obsessed with trying to police everybody's funding. What Bloomberg is doing is showing us what would be possible if we had the cash that Republicans do.

Damn! That's blunt as hell and I love it. In a perfect world my candidate is Klobuchar. I hope that whether the nominee is Joe or Bloomy they will choose her as VP.

The sad truth is that it's entirely possible that Trump, Bernie, or Biden might not live to see election day. At least Biden seems relatively healthy. The other two scream "borrowed time."

At this point I'm beginning to think that the issue of Bernie Sanders will...resolve itself. He's not looking healthy at all.

And right on schedule Trump starts going after Utah to get revenge on Romney. "Nice state you have there. Be a shame if something happened to it."

I'm one of those people who thinks that what Romney did was brave. Trump is a mobster and we can already see that he's geared up for payback. Trump is going to try to make an example of him in order to keep everyone else in line.

Today was supposed to be a victory lap for Donnie. Pelosi and now Romney have stolen that from him.

For all the talk about Trump being re-elected, it's pretty obvious that he's in poor health. Watch this clip first for the word slurring then watch it again with the sound off. Notice his death grip on the podium and the muscle spasm in his back. Whatever drugs they have him on are getting less effective. This dude is dying in front of us and no one in the press will talk about it.
