Lookin more and more like a Warren Biden showdown with Harris waiting for an opening.

I don't buy Biden lasting thru the early debates. He'll still be in the top 3 but I think he falls as it becomes clearer he has no platform and continues to say wild shyt. Then again if he performs well in the debates that could change.
Wouldn't count out Beto. I've been thinking about who will break out when these people get on a debate stage. It's going to be Beto and Pete benefitting imo. Iowa is going to go with a white guy, the only question is which one.
Harris is banking everything on Nevada and SC, which is a terrible idea. The media will obsess over Iowa. Then whoever wins NH (assuming it's not the person who won Iowa) will be the "comeback kid." Anyone who remembers 2008 should see this. If Harris doesn't win either, which she won't, I don't see how she magically takes NV, where Harry Reid could influence unions to back Biden.
If Obama backs Biden, I think you have a Hillary situation again, where its his to lose.
… and I think Warren will gain as candidates drop out.
The first debate will be very telling.
It isn't Beto's time yet, he's too centrist and reasonable for the current climate
. When the DNC reigns in its progressive contingent he will be the guy.

Obama won't endorse anyone. There have been cases of presidents endorsing their VP but each case happened while the VP was still VP; Biden no longer holds that office. For instance President Reagan endorsed VP Bush. President Clinton wanted to endorse VP Gore but was told no thanks. Etc.
Obama is likely going to be the most powerful and popular democrat politician until he dies. I don't think he'll ever endorse a candidate for president. Sure he'll endorse once someone becomes the nominee but I don't see him playing kingmaker; it would be unfair and unwise. Let the people decide. Jimmy Carter doesn't endorse people either. The Bushes only endorsed Jeb because he was family lol.
gotta say i like a warren beto ticket
im pulling for biden because of these polls but hes so fukking old :jaysnoop:

A lot of you dudes really get caught up in chosen hot button issues by major media outlets for their breaking news topics. What is hot today is not guaranteed to be hot a year from now, a month from now, or even next week.
While what happened in Georgia is regressive bullshyt, unless something drastically changes during and up untill the election period, it will not be a game changer. Topics like healthcare, economic policies, and jobs are the topics that have lasting power and best to be banked on.
Get perspective. I wonder if this habit is a hold over from the Russian breaking news every week bullshyt from the last two years. It's not a good way to think about political strategy.
This dude is a fukking retard and every day make me question more and more why Obama brought this guy back into relevance after 2 failed presidential election campaigns. But then I have to remind myself Obama only did it for old white rust belt cred.
This dumbass was around for Obama's entire presidency.
Double retarded.
Fran Lebowitz endorsed Elizabeth Warren tonight on Bill Maher's show. Warren would be rolling in the UWS/UES money if she allowed rich donors.

Principles. If you don’t have core beliefs that can guide you, you will probably be led astray by anything.

College educated women have abandoned the Republican Party. Do you think when the ACA is repealed and birth control will be illegal will move them back to the right? Do you think college educated women are interested in having 15 kids and being financially fathered by a man she’s smarter than?
