2020 Democratic Primary

Rooting for Trump to win is so progressive.

The landslide is going to come in November when Biden loses.

Voters are just not that into Bernie.

He‘s just not that likeable. He has too much baggage. It makes him a bad candidate. He should smile more.

“He’s shrill.”

Bernie Sanders staffers say it's 'time for some hard decisions,' after another trio of losses

With three losses on Tuesday night, Bernie Sanders’s chances of winning the Democratic presidential nomination became even slimmer.

TRIVIA: All of the delegates Sanders and Biden have won so far this primary season combined is vastly less than the number of people who became newly infected with COVID-19 at their polling locations yesterday because those three states refused to reschedule their primary elections in the middle of a pandemic.

In my opinion all people that try to candidate for presidency are not that likeable, because you've got to have certrain traits in order to be able to win which just make you such. And those traits, like using your elbows, attacking your opponents, using others as step on your way up and having big enough self confidence, are nothing most people really endorse.

I would even say that the office requires the president not to be likeable so much, because as CiC he's got the power to send soldiers into their certain death if needed to.

A president should be well respected, taken seriously and be seen as qualified - liking him is more an optional thing.

But it doesn't matter when looking at Sanders, Biden or Trump - all those three are a lost chance for America. So many smart women entered the ring, and all are already out, it's again old white men.

The fact lots of Republicans would probably rather see Sanders than Biden running against Trump doesn't necessarily mean they intend to vote for him

In my opinion all people that try to candidate for presidency are not that likeable...

Zing! Bartholomew, that joke flew right over your head.

"He‘s just not that likeable. He has too much baggage. It makes him a bad candidate. He should smile more."

These were all criticisms lobbed against Hillary Clinton. And as you so earnestly argued, they are complete nonsense.

Voters are just not that into Bernie.

In closed primaries, it's not reflective of the electorate as a whole. So good luck with that.

 

[Cristalle]

You can laugh, enjoy it. But Biden is going to lose.

Trump doesn't think so - and neither does Mitch McConnell.

In times of great turmoil, people don't want revolution, they want safety and familiarity. Of course, the Russians may still be in all our voting machines and this is a moot conversation.

 

[Shiloh Lyric]

This is now bordering on the absurd.

And, so far, the most avid Bernie supporters on this thread, and elsewhere, are reminding me of the most avid Trump supporters.

Now?

Now?

You were quick.

That's because they think running against socialism is a winner, but there's a difference between running against a generic socialist and running against somebody in particular. But it's okay, I'm done here. I am not confident Biden will win, and people learned nothing from 2004, 2016. An article came out the other day showing that the Republican party is now more popular after Trump's impeachment than the Democratic Party. Keep dreaming that he will lose.

Reality must be such a bitter pill to swallow when you’ve been putting all your faith in conspiracy nutters.

it‘s almost like shitting on the party you’re trying to lead while doing nothing to increase your outreach to women and black voters and surrounding yourself with political cast-offs and Internet trolls is bad strategy or something.
