The real problem for Joe Biden isn’t that Twitter won’t pull the video, or that it was edited - that’s life in politics in the 21st century. No, the real problem is that given all his so-called gaffes, his story-telling (remember “Corn Pop”), his record, his poor sense of personal boundaries, etc, etc, etc, he’s…

Actually, poll after poll in 2016 showed Sanders winning by a much larger margin than Clinton against Trump. THAT’s why Bernie would have won. But because so many pundits were on Clinton’s payroll (see Lee Fang’s exceptional investigation of this: https://theintercept.com/2016/02/25/tv-pundits-praise-hillary-clinton-on…

Yeah, but he’s also running for President, and if stories like Corn Pop are the best he can do to assure voters that he gets what racism is and that America is way overdue in dealing with it, then the dude is not fit to be President. It’s 2019 man, there are other candidates that at least have full on “Black Agendas”…

One way to look at it is comparison with others his age, and in this instance that would be Sanders. Sanders stays on point, always has immediate recall of facts, consistently makes relevant (and often piercing) rebuttals when questioned, quickly draws connections with other issues, and paces his comments to fit into…

I disagree with Karu Daniels’ characterization of Biden’s comment as a “gaffe;” Biden’s comment crosses a line way beyond “gaffe” and reflects someone who has zero understanding of what responsible leadership looks like - e.g. you don’t say these things, and you shouldn’t even be thinking them; no one, in their right…

Which “swing states” are you referring to? Because if it’s PA - Warren is WAY ahead of Biden there. If it’s OH - it’s not longer considered in play for 2020. If it’s MI - again, Warren is ahead of Biden there. Be careful what you read, the press is pushing a Biden “electability” narrative but has yet to catch up to…

This is a case of the emperor’s new clothes with voters, Dem leadership, and the press all indulging, pretending, and making excuses for him. What would be good is if he dropped out, short of that, then the DNC should step in. He is not a viable candidate, and it’s ludicrous that he’s even running given the stable of…

We need more of these honest looks at Biden. We Dems REALLY need to be honest about who Biden is and let go of him. I get the nostalgia stuff, but we literally don’t have time for it anymore. And as for Obama 2.0 - we Dems really need to take an honest look at that too, 90% of the bad decisions in the Obama…

I disagree, in the current climate, voters are asking for specifics on where candidates stand; you also fail to recognize the power of Independents - the largest bloc of voters in the U.S. and they are notorious for being sticklers on candidate positions on policies, they assess, then they vote. Warren’s approach…

Why is no one citing the CNN poll (that actually includes Independent voters) looks at each Dem against Trump, O’Rourke has the best chance of winning against Trump. Any Dem against Dem poll is irrelevant; what matters is which Dem the Independents will feel inspired by enough to get out and vote for. Dem leadership…

“best friends for life” - not exactly: http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/05/joe-biden-and-barack-obamas-one-sided-embrace.html Obama is a master at compartmentalizing, and that’s exactly what he’s done with Biden, Biden may be a close, personal friend, but Obama is well aware of Biden’s shortcomings in the political…

As my meemaw would say: “Better to keep your mouth shut and seem a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” I have a feeling you’re not a Texan and have no idea that a lot of us work in the oil industry AND we’re environmentalists. To get you up to speed on how things work in Texas: In some towns the only jobs that…

This is White House damage control, full swing; former wife Ivana was widely quoted a few days ago on how awful Trump was with his own kids, so Sarah Huckabee Sanders et al cooked this up as counter coverage. THIS is the preoccupation of the White House, meanwhile Republicans are pushing through monumental tax reform…

she won’t be fat if she’s on meth - the two conditions rarely exist together; but I like your sentiment.
