Democratic Candidates for POTUS, 2016 edition

Y'all are overanalyzing a remark that someone probably thought about for 0.01 seconds before yelling it

Still seems like that's a complaint at the states who are intentionally trying to undermine the ACA rather than Bernie, but I guess he was the one there to talk to about so that's understandable maybe.

Well yeah but the point was that Obamacare wasn't necessarily a huge win for #blacklivesmatter.

And yes, it was a quick heckle.

What is a big win for #blacklivesmatter other than correctly acknowledging the hashtag?
 
Can we please get those blacklivesmatter folks who were at the Netroots gathering to be a part of Miss Hillary's campaign?

"A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday found that Clinton has strikingly negative favorability ratings among voters in Virginia, Iowa and Colorado, especially compared with where she stood in the spring.

The numbers come at a time when Clinton has a massive fundraising lead, relatively weak competition for the Democratic nomination and more federal government experience than other candidates. Even with these advantages, the poll shows Clinton may be vulnerable in states that by all accounts will have an outsize say in who wins the White House next year..."

"Two Virginians in the mix of candidates and hopefuls don’t do so well on their home turf. Voters there give former senator Jim Webb (D), a declared candidate, a 30 percent to 23 percent favorable to unfavorable rating. Former governor Jim Gilmore (R), who is believed to be considering a run for president, is even less supported, with just 16 percent viewing him favorably."

It's like on Gilmore Girls when Paris finds out that 90% of people find her the most qualified candidate for the Student Council President, and most people think she could handle the job, BUT she finds out that in terms of likeability, she's in last place so she has to ask Rory to be her Vice President but then she gets sad because she figures out it's a lose lose because if she loses she loses and if she wins, it'll be because of Rory, her nemesis, and not because of her own qualifications.
 
Crappy numbers for HRC in three swing states, but she wins easily if Trump is a third party candidate. Tea Party believes Mitt lost because true conservatives stayed home in 2012. Siphon off 20% of the GOP base and Hillary's above 400 electoral college votes, private server and Benghazi baked into the cake.

Warren or Sanders aren't running as independents. GOP has to destroy Trump completely to ensure that he won't run as an independent and hope HRC implodes. Jeb and Walker can't win on their own accord.

Very fair article. I like the way they didn't sugarcoat their analysis of Sanders. Thanks for sharing.

Keep up that faithful work.

... criminalizing things is very much on Bernie’s agenda, beginning with the criminalization of political dissent. At every event he swears to introduce a constitutional amendment reversing Supreme Court decisions that affirmed the free-speech protections of people and organizations filming documentaries, organizing Web campaigns, and airing television commercials in the hopes of influencing elections or public attitudes toward public issues. That this would amount to a repeal of the First Amendment does not trouble Bernie at all. If the First Amendment enables Them, then the First Amendment has got to go.

That Citizens United decision was the best thing since sliced bread.
 
I watched an episode of Gilmore Girls once. It was awful television. Then again, I'm probably not its target demographic.

What are the current odds of HRC becoming the next president? I hold firm that a good bet is for her not to win.
 
Hillary is +105 outright to become the next president right now. Bush is +360 and Walker is +1000. Those are top three.
