2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[Pressure]

Did you hear John from San Antonio on MR breakdown the brokered convention scenario where Bernie and Warren together have the majority of delegates and one drops out to endorse the other and has their delegates go to the other?

Sounds like a scenario where Trump breezes to a second term due to a fractured electorate and low turnout.

Never been so disgusted as I am right now.

Sanders hasn’t benefited. It only helped Biden and Buttigieg. It’s you who should be crying. This is precisely why I said that strategy would backfire and it did.

You think progressive critiques caused people to move to Pete and Biden? That totally adds up. The M4A complaints definitely changed how people viewed Warren and made them go "Pete...that's my guy."

If Bernie has significantly more delegates... Warren will be the one standing down and urging her delegates for Bernie.

Same thing vice versa

That's my gut feeling.

Bernie will NOT be president.

Man...so many people should be proud.

What did they think was gonna happen?

They attacked a progressive...and got NOTHING for it.

Bernie sanders and his cult will destroy anyone that dares challenge their supremacy and status, the man is a vile man and so are his supporters they are based on hatred and mutual destruction. Im not nowhere near as moderate or center right as biden but these b*stards dont deserve to win the nomination for all the stunt they pulled remember they smeared clinton and refused to vote for her knowing scalia seat was open and it was a once in a century time to change the ideological balance of the court. All national polls released have shown biden ahead, let sanders and his delusional supporters compete in IW and NH, when the primaries get more diverse from nevada and south carolina biden would blow these hacks out of the way, its genuinely sickening how vile him and his supporters are. pure vile and evil

Warren fumbled on this major and it cost her the nomination.

Fundamentally M4A would have been cheaper in the long run but her dragging of her feet on explaining the short term vs. long term cost is what caused the unpopularity because everyone from the Right to the Left has attacked her on that point, moving public perception.

Biden is going to end up with the nomination because everyone with sway on the left feels like he's the only one who can beat Trump, though they don't truly want a Biden presidency. Its a bad plan but it further supports the near future splintering of our two party system that I predicted.

The Candidate Dividing Iowa Progressives

Politically speaking, Marie Herring, a 49-year-old supporter of Elizabeth Warren, and John Thomas Grindle, a 36-year-old Bernie Sanders fan, have a lot in common.

Both Iowans want Medicare for All, student-debt cancellation, and a government that taxes the heck out of billionaires. Neither harbors ill will toward the other lefty firebrand in the race. But the two voters feel very differently about one 2020 Democrat: South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

“Definitely, I like him,” Herring told me. “He’s a rising star.”

To Grindle, though, Buttigieg is just “another corporate puppet.”

For the past several months, the trio of Warren, Sanders, and former Vice President Joe Biden has been leading the polls in the state with the first-in-the-nation caucuses. But over the past few weeks, 37-year-old Buttigieg has been gaining ground: The most recent surveys of Iowa voters have shown the Indiana Democrat at or near the top of the pack of primary candidates.

His ascent is driving a wedge between Iowa progressives. Warren supporters I talked with in the state told me that, while they may not find Buttigieg sufficiently progressive on certain issues, they’re dazzled by his intellect and attracted to his folksy charm. Most Sanders backers, though, tended to feel the opposite: Buttigieg, they told me—with his elite education, his moderate policy positions, and his appeals to Donald Trump–wary Republicans—represents everything that’s wrong with the current Democratic Party.

Nationally, roughly 14 percent of Warren supporters have said that Buttigieg is their second-favorite primary candidate, according to the most recent data from Morning Consult. But only about 3 percent of Sanders backers said the same. In Iowa, the contrast is even more stark. Some 20 percent of Warren supporters in the state said their next choice would be Buttigieg, according to a new poll from Civiqs and Iowa State University, compared with 3 percent of Sanders backers.

They created more uncertainty around the implementation of M4A. Now people are looking for more incremental approaches.

I think all these Bernie stans were being unreasonable and are is in for a very rough landing because they don’t realize that being more extreme than Warren will be in even bigger disaster. The problem is that no one has really taken the gloves off on Sanders the way he has deserved to have been treated for all this time.

the centist pundits and Berniecrats fukked around and unfairly attacked her.

I’m feeling the same way these a$$holes ruined Harris!

these pieces of shyt are completely cutting off their noses to Spite their faces.

I’m so angry right now.
