Don't forget when Republicans voted Obama over Clinton in 2008.
You guys voted for Obama over Clinton in the 2008 primaries when Limbaugh told you to also.
Don't forget when Republicans voted Obama over Clinton in 2008.
Carlson’s coverage of the 2020 primary has been surprisingly good imo...he was dead on when he said the debate wasn’t going to do anything for Warren.
calling Warren “mistress Warren” to imply Bloomer is into BDSM.
Not in Texas. Might want to Google that.
Seems like Rush flip flopped later in the primary. But CNN's exit polling had Republicans picking Obama 53 / 46 over Clinton in the Texas primary.
Among those willing to still call themselves Republicans for polling purposes, yes, his approval rating is historically high.
I thought exactly the opposite.
he was horrible
But he won the election despite my perceived middle school name calling debate tactics.
I now get that the tactics were exactly what his staunchest supporters wanted.
(Which is why Spurtunculus is addressed as an incel who loves the sex lives of men stories.
He understands this type of communication.)
i know i'm missing something, so can somebody fill me in as to how pete gets delegates despite falling short of the 15% threshold?
ah, as i've read up, the caucus system is different than primaries. the 15% rule is applied on a district by district basis in a caucus, as opposed to state-wide as in a primary
I guess is a good thing Bernie already got elected president and shouldn’t worry about blowback so you’re right of course.
He canceled the town hall.
Smartest move he could make.
there's going to be a debate tomorrow... and you can bet that following nevada, everybody is going to come out, guns blazing to take a shot at sanders. and they will have some material to work with given the 60 minutes interview.
makes sense for bloomberg to stay out of the spotlight until everybody has a chance to lay into sanders
will be interesting to see how sanders responds to the onslaught
Bernie will take Bloomberg's spot on tonight's town hall so it will come up tonight. He can put the comment to bed with a throughout response and a complete rebuke without bringing up "the good part about x."
I think it's closer to 35% dems, 25% republicans and 40% independents... that's why democrats generally have the upper hand in the federal popular vote...
However, about half of that 40% very likely leans one way or another. I would put truly independents closer to the 20% (and they can still decide elections).
Hopefully a lot of them die before the election, tbh
15% rule is applied district by district in primaries too....there are certain delegates allocated statewide and delegates allocated to each district.
read it and weep idiot rightwing so called demo s
I don’t disagree with you but Bernie needs to be cognizant of the double standard he’s going to face because he labels himself as a socialist and the risk of that turning into smear attacks where he’s labeled as a commie. He’s being a stubborn old man by refusing to let go of the literacy thing when he needs to be a politician who’s willing to ignore history in exchange for votes.
Also, it wouldn’t have mattered given how much of a landslide the election was but you can bet that had Obama said this during his 2008 campaign the “Muslim from Kenya!” crowd would have been all over it and taking it out of context to label Obama a communist. It’s a little different to say it during the final year of your 2nd term.
"he’s going to face because he labels himself as a socialist and the risk of that turning into smear attacks where he’s labeled as a commie. "
so Bernie should let the hateful, bad-faith, LYING, slandering Repug/rightwinghatemedia/Trash, playing to American ignorance, determine who he is?
No he shouldn’t but when he makes these comments it’s what he’s doing. Don’t give them ammunition that they can misconstrue and take out of context.
what do you want bernie to do apologize? that will play straight inyo rightwingnuts hands
he needs to double down. needs to remind everyone Obama did even further. tyats it and thats all
he already has enraged establishment and mainstream media. hes smart and knows theres no changing that no matter what he does. he just needs to rely that americans will support him same way we supported Obama in his candidacy
i remember very well my rightwing friends called Obama a communist back in 2008 and said USA would go bankrupt after his presidency
this is the same exact thing rightwingnuts are doing now
the ONLY advantage Obama had back then is he was black and young thats it
if you close your eyes Bernie sounds like an Obama on steroids thats what this country needs
misconstrue, take out of context, lie, slander, insults, politics of persona destruction, infinite bad faith is what Repugs ALWAYS deliver to any opponent, no matter what they say.
Bernie will never penetrate the 42% stupid, ignorant, low-wage, low-ed mother ers who still support criminal Trash and his mafiya.
