Hey, this isn't a random hangout. It's a catch-all thread for the 2020 primaries stuff until the debates start. If you want to troll or just hang out go to a different thread.
I hope he at least sticks around till Iowa so we can get some decent Butt Assessor jokes in.What's curious is that you don't seem to know what political lobbies are, or why they have power over candidates (it's by paying them money or threatening not to pay them money if they don't do what they want), or why that's seen a bad thing in a candidate. That, or you're just being obtuse.
Someone with the last name "booty judge" really captures the cultural zeitgeist, though
Alright, I might actually be ready to move Harris down from my #4 slot and give that to Beto. Kamala what are you doing? I want to like you, but you're making it so hard.
Anyone underwhelmed in general with Kamala or Beto should get on the Pete train though. He might actually be a top 4 contender if he can keep it up.
My personal rankings now:
1. Pete
2. Warren
3. Bernie
.
.
4. Beto
5. Kamala
1. Sanders
I have Warren as my second. Everyone else aren't even a consideration for me.1. Sanders
2. Buttigieg
3. Warren
I'd say Warren and Buttigieg are pretty interchangeable at this point. I do think Buttigieg will start polling better at some point but we'll see. Warren should be polling better, she'd be a great pick imo.
The DNA test was such a poor move that showed a clear lack of judgement
She missed her window in 2016 to be where Bernie is now, tbh. Lot of the wind in her sails died out.
I agree in that I don't know if she'd beat Trump, which sucks because it's the single most important qualification.
I honestly think Kamala is demonstrating a lot more political savvy than the other candidates with this move. I can't even hate.
I think it's hers to lose in the general unless she picks up a lot more momentum in the primaries and wises up, however I do like some of her policies and her focus on educationThe DNA test was such a poor move that showed a clear lack of judgement
Definitely Sanders and Buttigieg.
Her whole handling of that makes me thinks the debates would be an absolute disasterThe DNA test was such a poor move that showed a clear lack of judgement
At this point it would basically take an act of god for her to even be marginally competitive.Warren is the best candidate on paper. She 's also the worst candidate for campaigning and debating though so I highly doubt she even wins the primary save for multiple acts of god.
NGL if it came out that Biden participated in the Chicago riots I'd be morally obligated to vote for him.Switch Harris' dad and Buttigieg's dad's corpse and we've got a deal.
Can't wait until we find out that Julian is secretly from another Castro family and Biden was actually one of the Weathermen.
I had them switched at first, but translating Prison Notebooks gave him the edge for me.Switch Harris' dad and Buttigieg's dad's corpse and we've got a deal.

How anyone can take a look at the candidates and not think Buttigieg is the best one is beyond me.

More polls!
The latest results are based on 13,725 interviews with registered voters, collected from March 18- 24, 2019.
Biden- 35%
Bernie- 25%
Harris- 8%
O'rourke- 8%
Warren- 7%
Cory Booker- 4%
Amy Klobachour- 2%
Pete Butigieg- 2%
Rest- 1%
O'rourke still not climbing surprisingly. Why is he failing when the media has been incredibly positive for him?
Again, let's wait for the bulk of people to actually start paying attention. No pre-July polls really matter, especially when results now are so clearly a result of name recognition.Some movement in people's second choice. Now pretty much everyone's second choice is Biden rather than a mix of Biden and Bernie(Only Warren supporters have Bernie as their top second choice now).
... And now even MORE Sanders' supporters second choice is Biden.
Yup, we're gonna get the great white hope... Sigh.

What 3 realistic options?Kamala is a fraud? I'm shocked! IMO if you dont want that in 2020 you have 3 realistic options. Beto is not one of them.
Hey if opposition to AIPAC is that important, Tulsi is always there for you.
Are people actually shocked about that? I'm not.i dont understand how people are shocked by this kind of shit. like, look up who these people really are before throwing your support behind them

Tulsi hasn't even reached the threshold. She's not really a contender.
