I'm saying I haven't seen any evidence to support the claim of racial or for that matter, gender animosity driving primary numbers. <br /><br />Polls have been remarkably consistent on the weak support of the weak (in a field of weaklings, that is saying something) existing black and/or female candidates even among blacks and women.

Usually, they go unnoticed. I think the reason so many of these are getting any play at all from the media is how bad the current crop of front runners is.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-68981569821759712412019-05-14T23:09:21.897-04:002019-05-14T23:09:21.897-04:00Critch, They are quite the collection.

Still, with the electoral advantages, and the country split, there is never sn easy rode. I predict a 70 something will name a double minority as VP running mate, But .... maybe I’m wrong.

Attacking or being attacked by Trump seems to be the best way to get in the headlines. <br /><br />I'm still not seeing this racial animosity from voters. That SC poll you are quoting says blacks are almost 2/3rds of Dem voters in the state and Biden alone has three times the support of both black candidates combined. <br /><br />moving on for my money the most politically consequential recent event is the trade war with China. In the case of China trade war is worth a shot and will benefit Trump in the medium term (which includes 2020) provided China makes the concessions I believe it will. <br /><br />Not that I expect a deal to make a big difference. With China the devil is always in the details and Trump will be tempted to look past their habitual cheating.<br /><br />https://www.postandcourier.com/politics/the-safe-choice-biden-widens-sc-lead-in-democratic-presidential/article_f727895c-731f-11e9-888a-af4280777b2a.htmlAnthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16124128949343301445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-87900386941853951232019-05-14T17:04:15.755-04:002019-05-14T17:04:15.755-04:00Didn't some Dim from Montana enter the race to...Didn't some Dim from Montana enter the race today?
