ST Democrats: Who do you want to win the 2020 Nomination?

He said ‘provided’, meaning, ‘if she can get past’ that.

You probably misread that for ‘proved’.

Provided is used as a verb and not as a modifier.

You did misread that.

But Obama would have won again if he could run again. Being tied to his administration isn't all that bad, considering the alternatives.

He would have, IMO, but that doesn’t mean his administration didn’t have dings everywhere. Some talking points, some legit, but the material was already there.

pro·vid·ed
/prəˈvīdəd/

conjunction
on the condition or understanding that.
"cutting corners was acceptable, provided that you could get away with it"

Straight from the dictionary...

And that conjunction needed the comma to be grammatically correct. In your sentence it would not have worked as a verb without the comma; in his sentence it did. I know you know this stuff. You're just stubborn.

It’s too bad Sherrod Brown felt discouraged from running just because he’s a white male.

Just shows how out of touch the Democratic Party is. Too many eggs in the Russian collusion basket and candidates who do nothing to win the Midwest back.

I don’t see how Trump loses in 2020 unless he really s up in the next 18 months.

agreed, the Midwest is like 90% white and fairly socially conservative but they are big on worker's rights, not communism but unions and fair treatment of workers.

Biden has a legit chance. He's leading currently in polls vs. Trump in all of the swingy Midwest states except Ohio (which I'd argue has turned more red anyway). But if the Dems nominate a New Left candidate (Bernie, Beto, Harris, Warren, etc) they'll get schallacked and possibly lose even more states that Hillary won in 2016 like MN, CO, VA, maybe NV or NM

Wait till casual voter finds out what Biden and his son did in Ukraine.

I’m not going to talk for SR, just pointing out that ‘provided’ it’s not a verb, it’s a conjunction, and yes I would agree he missed the commas. That’s at least what I understand he tried to convey, IMO.

[ElNono]

*I should probably clarify before the nit picking that ‘provided’ as a verb would come from provide, or make available, which makes zero sense in the context of that sentence.

[Chris]

Thank God the grammar Nazis are here to enlighten the board.

[ElNono]

Proud ignorant appealing to Godwin per par.

Also I heard dem ers were puhlootin ours minds wit the Devils message thru dem radio freekweensies and turnin frogs gay to boot. Got damn soshalist commie fasschist devil worshippin Demoncrats.

[spurraider21]

Nono is right. Derp is wrong.

Par

i missed a comma

[SouthTexasRancher]

Before the COMPLETE EXONERATION, I was thinking it was going to be about 55-45 the Dems would win, but now I think he's going to win again more because the Dems will trip over their own .

Do you have proof that the democrats in the Washington DC sewer even have a ? The women act more like they have balls to go with their . Nobody in Congress on any side is worth a . If anyone is going to beat Trump they better have a level headed plan and not all this mumble jumble socialist from people like AOC and Beto Bozo. JMHO

[pgardn]

Underrate. They think it’s not a factor or generally unimportant, but it’s one of the things that gives the biggest and better ammo to the opposition. Even more so these days where ideas are lacking and candidates run solely on negative campaigns.

The biggest spotlight is on the in bent.

The Republicans tried to eat each other alive while Hillary sat waiting after her coronation.
It worked. The Republicans made each other look awful.

I think presidential elections are very unique events.
Difficult to make generalizations that hold.

[pgardn]

I would add that the Final decision on the Democratic candidate could get very ugly because the president is so incredibly vulnerable.

[Winehole23]

Biden is coasting on name-recognition and the bad memory of Democratic voters. He is awful and it's only a matter of time before he makes it clear to everyone. Again.

Sanders is taking on Trump head on and could be a frontrunner. Seems to draw crowds, has a knack for relating social spending to conservative voters.

Harris, O'Roarke and Warren are all bunched together at 8-10% each. Harris and O'Roarke are fairly obvious establiashmentarians. For better and for worse, Warren is the candidate with most policy ideas -- Bernie's a distant second. Kamala Harris and O'Rourke are made out of tin; they can be molded to suit the priorities of the DNC and the donor class. Their proposals will be kept suitably vague toward this end -- Harris and O'Roarke both seem to be allergic to specificity so far.

If the top 5 Democratic candidates are all able to maintain funding leading up to the convention next year, it'll be interesting to see which name emerges from the smoke-filled room

I'm still laughing about this one.

This one made me chuckle tbh.

You're the last ing person to try and give grammar lessons, you ing moron.

No no, it's hilarious

Kudos to you for seeing his more likely intent better than I did. But he still actually used provided as a verb.
