Cont: 2020 Democratic Candidates Tracker Part IV

Thanks for declaring that you're demanding that Warren be a sycophant to Bernie to gain your approval, then, if you're actually paying attention to what Warren actually said. Chances are that you're not paying attention to what she's actually said, though, and condemning her anyways based on your imaginings.

Yeah that response was before I watched the actual video. Please see the edited one after watching it. Again my mistake for basing my original opinion on what was obviously ****** journalism. My mistake

And... Heh. I edited the reply, then, in response to your editing. I admit to being a little slow to formulate my thoughts to my satisfaction, though, so it looks like I finished up after you.

To poke elsewhere, though...

In one of the generally unpleasant events that happened at a recent Bernie event... a guy waved a Nazi flag and was yelling anti-semitic slurs.

Given how high mortality for covid 19 is in the over 70s what happens if the Democratic / Republican candidates die off after selection and before the election (e.g. in October)? Can they shoe horn in a candidate at the last moment or if the Green candidate is the last one left standing do they get to be Potus?

It would bring new meaning to October Surprise, but I think there would be nothing to stop a dead president getting elected. Presumably the VP would then be sworn in instead.

It is up to the electors. Remember that people are not voting for president but for a slate of electors.

Hey! I think we actually found a use case for the electoral college.

That's actually a good point.

No, I've had enough of the clown car debates.

Holy ****** I agree with Bob.

 

[theprestige]

Agree on both counts. I also suspect that there were other events in his background that he wanted to keep bottled up which is why he not only left without a fight but also stays on the sidelines. Still, he could ream Trump a new one.....

Trump tweets

Jokey Al tried to ream me a new one but his jokes aren't funny! That's why I don't call him Funny Al! He's just a joke! #jokeyal #funniestpresident #covfefe

Trump's is such a polished wit. Practically Blackadder.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Interesting that they had to go back 40 years to find an opinion of Sanders' that they took issue with.

Sanders has been saying the same things longer than 30 years. There not a lot of evidence he is any different now.

Most people are bad at comedy. Trump's clumsy attempts at humor are probably a lot more relatable than Franken's professional wit.

That's one way to try to spin it.

I can only wonder what the headlines and stories would be if the Republicans changed the rules of their debates to exclude the only remaining female (who is also a PoC).

 

[The Atheist]

Trump would eat it, deny eating it, accuse the tester of eating it, claim it was an inferior and stale marshmallow, attempt to extort more marshmallows, and announce he has a million better marshmallows already but can't show them to anyone for legal reasons. Simultaneously, despite the contradictory nature of several of those things.

You know, if Trump could read, I'd swear he read, and developed his entire shtick from, 1984.

Relatable by who? Dimwits, bigots, Neanderthals, and Eric Cartman?
