Amy and Mayor Pete are probably the 2 best candidates for the Democrats

Bernie is a (likeable) wacko

Warren is a fraud and a phony and very unlike able

Joe is toast (Ukraine scandal pretty much finished him off)

Bloomberg would be good for the country but the real progressives won't support him
Bernie would grow the economy.
Bloomberg would trigger the crash to wipe out your pension, Whitey

"The most common of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true. It is the chief occupation of mankind". H. L. Mencken

A crash is on the way regardless of who gets in

No one actually knows whether Bernie would be good or bad for the economy.

Remember Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugmans dire warning when Trump got elected......how did that work out?

As Joseph Stiglitz, the Nobel laureate economist, has pointed out, US performance remains poor by the standards of its peers in salient respects, notably life expectancy, employment ratios and inequality
one of these years you'll get the recession you are hoping for , be patient seafoid

Jesus I see Klobuchar needs to get out of this thing quick as well . . . The Democrats couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery!!

Why? She's ahead of Biden in delegates and came third, ahead of Warren, in New Hampshire. She's one of the better candidates.

Great clip circulating of "Amnesty Amy" calling for a fence to be built at the border

Think there are numerous stories about how abusive she is towards her staff and although there are a few articles out there they haven't even scratched the surface!

Delegate count:
Buttigieg 22
Sanders 21
Warren 8
Klobuchar 7
Biden 6
Bloomberg 0

Betting odds for 2020 winner:

Trump 8/13
Sanders 4/1
Bloomberg 9/1
Biden 20/1

Bloomberg took a hiding last night. He was like a duck out of water. Warren obliterated him. Will be interesting to see how that affects the polling numbers over the next few days, and if his high burn rate can take the bad look off it. I just wish he'd get out of the race and put his money into something useful like flipping the 4 senate seats we're going to need.

That's seriously good odds on Trump
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Oh yes, Trump still the hot favourite. Will be interesting to see what kind of a ticket emerges from the Dems, it'll have to include Bernie if they're to stand a chance of changing those odds.

Gmac

A communist and a republican favorites for the dems and a Democrat pretending to be republican incumbent,funny oul game

Eamonnca1

Communist? Bit harsh. But yes, Bloomberg is a Republican from the days when the GOP tolerated moderates.

Trump has dementia but the GOP need him
The run down to the election is going to be nuts.

Doesn't look like we're going to get the presidency. Best bet might be to try and flip those four senate seats, take back the senate, impeach him again, and this time remove him from office. But even there the odds aren't good.

Dems to take the senate: 9/4
Rethuglicans to keep the senate: 1/6

Trump ran last time on "the world is fucked".
Now he is saying that everything has been fixed.
And it hasn't.

How will the deplorables feel about this ?

Surely the presidency and Senate go together though?

If the Dems flip enough seats (and Sessions will take back Alabama), then it will be part of a wave which also sees them win the White House.

What's your opinion of Bloomberg?

If he pulls himself together, he's got my vote.

He needs to own his mayoral policies though.
