2020 Democratic Presidential Nominees

He's fallen farther behind Warren in the latest polls. She is gaining. He is losing ground.

He’s still polling third. Why would he drop out in a field of 20 in August 2019?

BDS is real.

I find it interesting that millennials like strick and townie, people who (correctly) revile boomers, are so in the tank for Bernie.

He’s fucking old. He doesn’t have to be President to help shape policy. So find somebody who is not likely to turn into sailor in the next year or so to support.

Bernie is a war baby. Boomers are the ungrateful, world ruiners that came later.

Also, I prefer Warren. My preferred candidates in order: Warren/Sanders/Gillibrand (until she drops out). My ideal ticket is Warren/Castro.

I think the GOP will label any of the candidates socialist because they’re morons and that’s what they do. So that is not unique to Bernie.

Your opinion on the temperament is not a fact. It is a guess. A bad one IMO. Trump attacks are very stupid and clumsy. Just because Bernie gets riled up and passionate about policies he cares about does not mean definitively that he’ll lose his mind some idiotic nickname like “Bonehead Bernie”. Like I mentioned, Trump is a stupid child and behaves like one. Anyone will look like a composed adult next to that fat shit.

All of this is absolutely true. And didn’t matter at all in 2016.

Bernie was born in 1941. The loathsome characteristics you find so repulsive are only found in those born between 1945 and 1964. In fact I know a guy who was born in January of 1965 and he’s a completely different person than my older friends.

Bernie would be fine as pres.

Dumb statement. That same poll has each of the Top 4 Dems handily beating Trump. But be superficial, it's much easier.

Please tell the room what is to come? You brought it up. Be specific.

I’m not that well versed in the physical and cognitive effects of the aging process, but linking to Fox News typically occurs with greater intensity as one ages.
 
Actually looking at 538, this Fox News Pollster has an A rating.

I was completely civil to you on this thread. But you can't help yourself.

Pathetic.

Chris, don't bother him with facts. He wouldn't understand them.

Also, don't bother him with the reality that an organization that produces work that is negative towards their own ends is probably telling the truth. Maybe we should ask the lawyers about how such testimony is held in court.

EDIT- here's what Chris was talking about:

And yet you called me a "total piece of shit" and "subhuman" in a PM just now. Civility is relative with you, RJ. Carry on.

Clearly, you don't understand the concept of the word "private" and were suckered like a tourist playing 3 card Monte on the street in NYC. I knew this would be your reaction and you showed it again.

You are waaaaaay too easy. Your post directly above illustrates that if you were 10 times as smart as you are, you'd be half as smart as you think you are.

Doesn't change the fact that once again you started with deeply personal insults and cried when you were treated in kind.

I've stopped counting the times I've told you it didn't have to be this way, but you chose the path we're on.

It takes a special sort of person to be a dick in a PM and then whine if it gets made public. Even more special to then act like it was all a trap. Inconceivable!

I didn't whine. I EXPECTED him to do it and said EXACTLY that. What other meaning could this post of mine mean- "were suckered like a tourist playing 3 card Monte on the street in NYC. I knew this would be your reaction and you showed it again. "

What part of that could possibly be rationally construed as "whining"? If you said, "crowing" or "bragging", you'd be accurate. But whining is the opposite of what I posted.

In less than two days Strick was shown to be a fool at least three times:

1. Trying to say I used 3rd person to describe myself when the post was clearly about his thought process. Strick's arrogance and blindness were evident here. Hell, for decades, there has been no love lost between Chris and myself, but even he saw the obvious that Strick didn't.

2. RE: THe Fox poll- Strick jumped to an erroneous assumption that the poll was as biased as Fox News itself when it's one of the most respected polls out there. MSNBC and CNN use it as much as Qunnipiac and Monmouth polls. 538 gives it an A rating. His blind ignorance doesn't even allow to see that people who testify against their own interest are most often more truthful. But to Strick it shows my waning intelligence. The reality is it shows how blind, arrogant and ignorant he is.

3. RE: PM- ADT, you know I am not afraid, unwilling or hesitant to say such things right here on the board and have done so many times in the past. A person with reasonable "cognitive" ability would ask, "why is he doing this here?" Considering I had also gone after very publicly in the previous twenty-four hours, such a PM should put up a red flag as to "why" to anyone who isn't a victim of his own arrogance and false positive of his own abilities. This should have been more obvious than Ali's rope-a-dope. But it wasn't to Strick.

One of my favorite board myths. The offer still stands. If anyone can find my "trust fund" or other buckets of cash that allow me not to work, I will gladly give you 50%.
