Official 2020 Democratic Primary Debate Thread

[Poetical Poltergeist]

I was just in Vegas. The women out there

He should go with Klobuchar, show your willing to reach out and work with the moderate wing of the party. Don't make the same mistake Hillary made by picking Kaine and telling progressives to basically fukk off.

I'm starting to lean towards her too.

Initially I was all in on Abrams being VP but w/ Bernie I'm more concerned about him attracting fickle white women than minorities.

She’d be interesting cause she and Bernie have worked together a lot.

But I think he’d pick Tammy Baldwin or Warren if she wanted it. That’s out of the US Senators

My gut keeps saying he’d pick a black woman though

So do we think Bloomberg is getting bushed tonight or what?

I can’t see him coming off strong in a debate setting.. especially if people are coming for him. His ads definitely have really high production quality but when he talks he kind of sounds like an old Jewish woman.. and I guess he’s been known to be pretty irritable and standoffish in prior public appearances.. I’ll give him credit that he’s in a far better position than I ever expected him to be when he announced

I dunno. I’ve read online that he has solid debating chops although I’ve never witnessed it personally. But like you said, in all seriousness, dude sounds like a nasally wimp. I can see people finally getting a good look at him on stage, with Liz probably standing an inch taller than him, and wondering how this low energy guy can actually defeat Trump.

Well what moderate would you choose because you need to reach out to that side of the party if you like it or not. You mentioned Trump and Pence and how he doubled down on the crazy but it's not true, he reached out to his weakness, the religious nuts, pence helped cement that vote. Bernie is going to have to do the same. In like klobuchar because her voice and story resonates in the rust belt, and that's where we're going to have to win if we want to win this election. Plus she probably helps lock up Minnesota which might be more purple than blue, and Republicans are pumping money into there because they think that's a state they can flip.

I mean Amy literally said the other day how she was not okay with someone calling themselves a socialist running for President, in reference to Bernie. I don’t know who I would pick but I feel she would de energize his base at the very least.

Speaking of Bernie and Amy

remember when they debated Graham and Cassidy about the ACA repeal?

 

[duncanthetall]

Get. His. Ass.

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

I expect Bloomberg to be mid as fucck. I also don't expect the other candidates to go at him much. These candidates are p*ssy to be honest. I don't expect any catastrophic answers from him but I do expect his elitist/condescending attitude to come across quite vividly.

 

[The ADD]

I agree. His VP pick will be critical. And I think I’m almost certain he’s picking a woman.

He has too on a lot of levels

Can’t see her appealing to POC. Bern is generally good there not good enough to balance her lack there IMO.

Bloomberg getting pressed damn

In the MeToo era, idk how he still in the race

 

[StatUS]

Whomever is the VP pick needs to assure that they can get black folks to turn out in Penn, Mich, and Wisconsin. Regardless of the winner that should be a main priority.

I swear I'll lose it if the nominee tries to be the greatest president of all time by winning Arizona, Georgia, and Texas again.

 

[DonKnock]

Exactly. Barack was called a Muslim, terrorist sympathizer, communist, fake birth cerititcate, socialist who wanted to out your grandpa in death panels and steal your taxes for Obamacare

Did yall forget the FEMA camp bullshyt?

Who gives a fukk? Letting Repubs decide your president

Funny enough, the centrists in here were advocating for death panels just the other day

If you read about Tammy Baldwin's 2018 race... she turned out black voters in Wisconsin. Gwen Moore wasn't playing around either and helped her a lot.

Interesting

Secondary to the primary so had been thinking about the VP race and who might be in line. Still think Kamala is lurking but Baldwin is something to ponder
