wtf man hes not even in a official position within our government
Trump's record this 3 years has been so awful I don't even know which angle the candidate even starts at. It's like choice paralysis on the debate stage.
There hasn't been a SINGLE aspect in politics where he hasn't completely shit the bed in. Yes even including his house of cards economy with his bad trade deals, shitty tariffs, farmer/manufacturing decline, stagnating wages/inequality, worst stock decrease since 2008 etc.
Who are these 5-10% of people who keep going back & forth from disapproving to approving of trump's job performance?
The Senate Dems who have worked with him don't seem to find him particularly antagonistic though.Because I trust Biden to do what the party says, nominate and staff his administration with competent people, and not be - or let his zealots be - antagonistic toward congressional Democrats.

I am concerned about who Bernie fills out an administration with. I am not really concerned about how well he would or wouldn't get along with Pelosi and Schumer.

Seems like a mild take to me. I think people were already on that line of thought last night. Makes for a motivated scapegoat.Crazy conspiracy time - if coronavirus support goes poorly trump jettisons pence from the ticket

I think it is plausible but also utterly unhelpful to Trump. If coronavirus goes very badly, I don't think there's much any competent, intelligent president could do to survive it, much less an incompetent, dumb one.Crazy conspiracy time - if coronavirus support goes poorly trump jettisons pence from the ticket
Oh fuck no, I don't want Newt Gingrich anywhere near a political office at all, much less the vice presidency.If he ditches Pence maybe we'll finally get that Trump/Gingrich ticket we always wanted.
I mean, I don't think very highly of some of his highest level campaign staffers, and it feels like he often does the same thing Hillary did of elevating people because they were loyal to him more than anything else. But even worse because Bernie hasn't been around as long and has a smaller pool of supporters to draw from for this stuff.He's not gonna put morons in positions of power
None of our current candidates would outside of maybe Bloomberg

I'm not so much worried about him putting complete morons who know nothing about their job into Cabinet posts like Trump has. But I'm also not really assuaged by many of his campaign hires.
Honestly, other way around. Candidates run the WH like their campaigns. WH Trump isn't much different from the campaign general state of chaos, and Obama ran his campaign much like how he ran the WH. The campaigns are a pretty good indicator of how the candidates fare as an executiveI feel like the types of people that get involved with Campaigns and PR are a completely different set of people from the pool that you draw from for Cabinets and all that
And look I know norms have been thrown out the window thanks to Trump but like man...
It's because he doesn't want to bear responsibility at all and is more concerned about the stock market than being concerned about the health of millions.It's both hilarious and terrifying how Trump finally gets a big domestic challenge to manage and just hands the reins over to Pence. He is incapable of solving even the smallest of problems, let alone something that could spiral out into a real crisis.

Mike's campaign went from an imminent threat to a non factor in the news this week. I'll laugh into my sleep if all of that money spent translates into fucking nothing and a third place behind a languid Biden campaign.
Charlie Kirk complains that wearing a Bernie Sanders shirt will get you high-fives and "invites to the coolest parties."

At its core this is not a bad strategy from a leader. Appoint top, experienced people to handle specific issues and you just make sure to cut through red tape and coordinate among the various areas of government so they are all successful. Where it falls flat with him is that he appoints poor people and then backstabs them over any failures. And they each compete with the other to personally (not professionally) please, since that's the only way to survive any criticism or failure.It's both hilarious and terrifying how Trump finally gets a big domestic challenge to manage and just hands the reins over to Pence.

He was supposed to be in a strong second after ST. Now he's probably going to be a distant third. This was a lot of fucking money wasted in the last month for a horrid campaign.Not wasted. Making it harder for Biden to gain a majority which is arguably worse for him.
He's also literally scared of germs and is probably not able to think about this without panickingIt's because he's a coward at heart who doesn't want to confront problems. He wants to appear like he is the big man but in every instance he always tries to throw blame to other people
Sweet. I was close to voting for Biden, but I went with my heart and voted for Pete.I've decided to vote for Biden. I am not comfortable with Sanders as the nominee. I no longer need to vote for him to stop Bloomberg because Biden led the latest poll in OK. Warren has no chance in hell.

This is not something unique to Trump lolHonestly, one of the things that's the most "concerning" to me is how the whole administration from the top down has destroyed to notion of FACTS and RIGHT vs WRONG. Those concepts just don't exist anymore. The consequences of purging all these specific teams of people who deal in right and wrong and replacing all with loyalists is going to take such a long time to clear and repopulate.
I dont know if the people that keep saying 'remember the flu kills like 60k people a year or whatever' know that if this virus was as widespread as the flu that number would be over a million.I think this is what is sort of pissing me off -- a lot of people are trying to minimize it by comparing it to SARS or H1N1 or Ebola when it's far easier to spread than any of those.
Not to mention the virus is more lethal to diabetics which, in the U.S., is super common. Not even to mention that coronavirus is more contagious than the flu.I dont know if the people that keep saying 'remember the flu kills like 60k people a year or whatever' know that if this virus was as widespread as the flu that number would be over a million.
Should just have been Social Democrat since that's probably closer to what he actually is. It's still not going to stop the socialist labels though.I'm somewhat baffled by Sanders' embrace of the 'democratic socialism' moniker when the s-word is such a trigger on the right, but also at least equally baffled that none of the Democratic candidates will point out that if you don't like socialism, I guess we'll get rid of public schools and social security too.
Basically, would the Medicare for All fight be any easier if Bernie came up with a different word for "socialist"?
