2020 Democratic Presidential Primary

Making this election about M4A seems like no one has thought about strategy at all.
 
So we should all unify behind the candidate with 28% and the candidate in second should drop out.

We’ve got a very competitive race but the system doesn’t support long competitive races.
 
So 47% left wing lunatic, 47% moderate, and 1% absolute lunatic.

The candidates in 5th and below should probably definitely drop out. Surely we can agree on that, right?
 
If the moderates want to seriously challenge Sanders, they need to coalesce around one candidate.

There's no chance to win those states. But there's so much opo research on him that will allow Trump to tell the truth about Bernie and scare voters. It also takes Trump is Russia's candidate off the table.

I think you should probably work on Toning down your Bernie rage and starting thinking about how we are going to unify the party behind him. Bernie is pretty clearly the front runner and railing against that is probably futile.

All of your arguments about why he is a bad candidate against trump really don’t matter because the right will make up what ever they want about who ever the Dem nominee is. I guarandamntee you if Bloomberg ends up getting the nomination they will paint him as a rich New York City elite who is out of touch with the common man and probably also call him a socialist. Facts don’t matter at all anymore.

They're all pretty flawed. Biden is senile, Bloomberg is a former Pub who is objectionable on some issues and who shot himself in both feet last Wed, Klobuchar is probably done, Warren is another school marm bossy woman, it's hard to take Steyer seriously, and Buttigieg is an inexperienced and gay mayor of a small city. The trouble is, other than Klobuchar, the other 5 will remain in the race for some time after ST. The result will be that Sanders will win some of these states with 25-30% of the vote because everyone else is getting 10-20%. I believe the reality is 70-75% of Dems are looking for their alternative to Sanders savior, and they keep saying not him/her to the lot of them.

BTW, this is what I've been saying about WI polling. Last week, we get a poll showing Trump up 7-8% there, and today the Dems are up 2%. PA and MI polls have consistently shown a slight to decent blue lean in those states, but WI has been all over the place.
 
Who runs as a third party if Bernie is the nominee? Bloomberg says he won’t but do we believe him? Have to believe that moderates will believe there is an appetite for a third party run (which will get single digits and likely just tank Bernie). Donald isn’t expanding his tent for the election so any additional candidate just sucks away from the democrat candidate in all likelihood

I disagree with this, when pubs called Obama a socialist enough people saw right through it in order to make a highly electable candidate. When pubs call Bernie a socialist it sticks because.... he is a socialist.

No. No Dem currently in the race, including Bloomberg, will run as an independent. The party will just sit on its hands and cross its fingers that Sanders will bring in enough non-traditional voters to counteract what they will lose to Trump or 3rd party. But Mark Shields is right that it's about time to start hitting Sanders with some of the punches he's going to get in the general.

And I'm not fond of seeing headlines like this:

And 1 thing is for sure, the conservative media love them some Bernie Sanders. At least for the next 3 months.

Fuck this bullshit bossy woman complaint about Warren. There was a lot about Hillary Clinton not to like, but America’s fucking mommy issues got us into this bullshit we’re in now.

But he’s also ignorant as shit so at least it balances it out. This fragile male ego bullshit can fuck right off. We already can’t have any gun control regulation because millions of mediocre white dudes are anxious that their dicks are too small. Get some therapy. Deal with your shit. Choose qualified people for jobs.
