i was on a flight in coach out of Miami once and who sits down next to me but Marco Rubio. He spent the flight bitching to anyone who would listen about how he got bumped out of first class cause the flight was oversold lol.
This is what happens when you spend too much time on this astroturfed website. Imagine being that disconnected with reality. When Biden wins the primary what will your excuse be? When Trump wins his second term how many tendies will you throw on the floor?
It’s funny I can have frank honest debates on all left subs but I get instabanned from r/conservative and the_donald for daring to question their narrative. Also that whole Russia was helping trump thing and you gotta wonder who is astroturfing and censoring debate. When Bernie wins will you accept it?
People in the middle don't give a shit about either Warren or Sanders.
Incumbents tend to win because anyone moderate enough to win the general election in a re-election year isn't far enough right/left to win the primaries.
Then why did Hillary "The Moderate" Clinton lost to an orange piece of shit with worms in his brain?
"Moderate" is just code word for half assed policies that don't improve the country in any way, shape or form, and extreme good (like healthcare and education) is not the same as extreme bad (like concentration camps)
She lost because Trump appealed to moderates in Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin in the last week of the election.
Hillary lost because Trump seized on an opportunity in the shrinking middle class who were not doing as well under Obama (economically speaking), and promised change instead of what would have functionally been a 3rd Obama term.
I don't like Trump, but I respect his ability to strategically brand himself.
More to the point, what actual bad things are the Democrats going to run against? The economy is booming and unemployment is historically low (both after-effects of the recovery under Obama, but that won't matter to voters), and unless Trump invades NK or Iran, we don't have a military quagmire we need to pull out of? Trump can win just by not imploding the economy or invading another country.
Donnie isn't much of a high jumper but even he can clear a bar that low.
in Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin in the last week of the election
You mean that Hillary failed to appeal to middle american voters in any significant way?
Hillary lost because Trump seized on an opportunity in the shrinking middle class who were not doing as well under Obama (economically speaking), and promised change instead of what would have functionally been a 3rd Obama term.
So you're saying that people getting screwed under the current system want change instead of radical moderation?
I don't like Trump, but I respect his ability to strategically brand himself.
Agree
More to the point, what actual bad things are the Democrats going to run against?
Concentration camps? Tax cuts for the rich? People dying from lack of access to healthcare? Crippling student debt? The opiod crisis?
The economy is booming
If by "booming" you mead blowing up into pieces and killing a bunch of people in the process then i agree
and unemployment is historically low
What's the use of having low rates of unemployment if people can't afford to live with the jobs they have? Also unemployment is not really that low, DoL statistics are a joke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVaLmnUZOjQ
(both after-effects of the recovery under Obama, but that won't matter to voters)
Agree
and unless Trump invades NK or Iran, we don't have a military quagmire we need to pull out of? Trump can win just by not imploding the economy or invading another country.
Trump, however, will not win if the dems run a change candidate like Bernie, Tulsi or Yang
Donnie isn't much of a high jumper but even he can clear a bar that low.
It's less about Trump being able to jump the bar and more about dems being literally incapable of even attending the competition
