Warhippy Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Evidently, it appears as though the super delegates have spoken. And they've in fact spoken against supporting Sanders no matter what. This is the EXACT same thing that happened 4 years ago. Don't care what your views are. If your party delegates have already stated it doesn't matter what people want. We won't do it. You're alienating and destroying the trustxand votes of your entire base. This is how Trump earns 4 more years. Not because of Russia. Not because of successful policies or good leadership. But because people will be do disenfranchised and pissed off that they won't even show up https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/27/us/politics/democratic-superdelegates.html Edited February 29, 2020 by Warhippy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both parties are owned by the rich and they fear Bernie might actually loosen the grip they have over US policy. Things like immigration and abortion are up for things people are allowed to vote for, but policies that can pull power away from the 1% and back to the populace is not allowed.

nuckin_futz Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Garth Brooks Honored Football Player Barry Sanders and Many Confused It With a Bernie Endorsement Garth Brooks performs onstage during MusiCares Person of the Year honoring Dolly Parton at Los Angeles Convention Center on February 8, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. By Madeleine Carlisle February 29, 2020 10:55 AM EST Well, it’s definitely an election year. Just look in the comments on country singer Garth Brooks‘ Instagram. After preforming in Detroit on Feb. 22, the renowned musician posted a photo of himself wearing a Barry Sanders jersey. Sanders is a retired Hall of Fame running back who played for the Detroit Lions. Not all of his followers understood that the jersey was a reference to the football player and an homage to the city where Brooks performed. It appears that many thought it was an endorsement of Democratic presidential-hopeful Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. And many were not pleased. “You just lost a fan. Can’t believe you’d ever support Sanders,” one commenter wrote. “So disappointing. Hey, Garth, why haven’t you shared your money with all of us?” reads another. Others in the comments were quick to point out that Brooks was referencing the football player, not the democratic socialist. The Instagram post has over 14,000 comments so far. Brooks wore the jersey while playing at Ford Field, in front of a crowd of roughly 70,000 people. According to Michigan Live, during the concert he told the crowd that he wore the jersey not only because he was preforming where the Lions play, but also because both he and Sanders went to Oklahoma State University. “I was lucky enough to be an athlete and to wear the same uniform as this guy wore in college,” Brooks reportedly said during the concert. “I was lucky to go to school with him. You guys got the greatest player in NFL history in my opinion in this jersey. I love this man.” Looks like news of the mix-up got back to Barry Sanders himself, who tweeted on Friday, “Hey @garthbrooks, want to be my VP? #Number20for2020″ Brooks responded, “Hey @BarrySanders I would run any race with you! #Number20for2020 HA!!! love you pal, g.” He hasn’t commented on the incident beyond the tweet. However, the Detroit Lions decided to weigh in. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) I think it's time Liz, Amy and Pete call it a day and throw their lot in with Joe or Bernie. Sanders and Biden were probably my two least favorite contenders, but I think if things haven't changed much after Super Tuesday, it's going to be Bernie vs Joe at the convention (with the possibility of a challenge from Bloomberg) and extending this campaign is only going to help the Trump campaign. Both (or all three) candidates can start focusing their campaigns on beating Trump, rather than beating a slew of Democratic rivals.

Boudrias Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 When the Dems lose to Trump the list of rationales should be a SNL extravaganza which of course won’t happen. Their absolute failure in selecting a candidate that could seriously challenge Trump is incredible. Instead of moving back to the center they went with the nutbars. There are left of center businessmen who could have challenged Trump on his turf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, SNL plays to the the left and center mostly. It makes sense when you think about it. They are based out of New York and it also seems that most in entertainment are not Trump supporters. As the poster above me points out. More people that voted wanted Hilary as Pres. It's the EC that got DT the gig. For the folks that don't vote, mostly young people, my guess is that they would be left or center too...if they could skip an episode of the Kardashians to get out and vote. So that also plays into the reason why most entertainment is aimed at them libtards. There is more of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poster suggested that Dems could not find a candidate to “seriously challenge trump.” Those people could very well represent the important electoral college states. That poll would suggests, at minimum, that there more than a few candidates that could “seriously challenge Trump.” Edited March 1, 2020 by Canorth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only papa Bush had worse approval at this point of his term and we all know how reelection went for him. I would say it's far more likely that the Wisconsin polling is the outlier. I'd hate to be wrong about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBH1926 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Polls had Clinton winning in 2016, few days ago Sanders was close to Biden in S.C., until he lost by 30%. Polls are easily manipulated to get the desired outcome. When I see Trump escorted out of the WH, I will trust the polls.
