This is a man who honeymooned in the Soviet Union, and did so when average Americans couldn't even visit the country. Give me a C... an O... an M... M... I... E... What's that spell? BERNIE!!<br /><br />2. Bloomberg has had a ton of twitter supporters banned because it turns out they are all run by a company he hired. Ha ha. Bloomberg has paid companies to run his internet presence including creating memes and passing them around. Essentially, he's trying to do what they accused Russia of doing.<br /><br />3. Bernie is refusing to release his medical record surrounding his heart attack, something Bernie claimed was a racist warcrime when Trump did it.<br /><br />4. Another example of the crazy, hateful mindset on the left as a couple tried to run two 14 year old boys on bikes off the road and then assaulted them because they had a Trump flag. Liberals... Nazis at heart.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-7019046187770429902020-02-21T04:31:06.010-05:002020-02-21T04:31:06.010-05:001) Didn't watch the debate but it sounds like ...1) Didn't watch the debate but it sounds like Bloomberg did horrendously, the Dems are still dividing their support many ways and thus the current leader Sanders is still in the catbird seat.<br /><br />While much is made of the fact Sanders is a socialist, honestly in modern America spending limits and the Constitution have ceased to concern most people. I think the big weight around Sander's neck is his (recentish) enthusiasm for gun control. People don't care about spending or corruption, but they do care about their personal rights/property.<br /><br />2) I'm not picking up all this bias you detect. Most women support a male candidate and most minorities support a white candidate. <br /><br />Identity driving support is just a consoling lie the talk radio wing told itself when Obama won twice (and reparations were always right around the corner). <br /><br />I'll offer the theory that in modern America charisma and ideology are the two big drivers of candidate success (in 2016 the dour Ted Cruz was the second most popular candidate after the vocal Trump). <br /><br />3) Power in modern times has been a poisoned chalice because (for various reasons) there is always a gap between promises and reality. Which is why we have seen a pattern of wave elections.<br />Its worth noting that in the era of the wave the president wins two terms even as his party is washed out of various offices. <br /><br />Still, its not a hard and fast rule and Trump is going to engage in a lot of antics between now and election day (pardoning corrupt buddies and suchlike) so anything is possible.<br /><br />4) Those turnout numbers are interesting. Trump seeing a higher turnout/more absolute support in 2020 than 2016 would go against a long pattern (remember Trump won in 2016 with fewer votes than Romney lost with in 2012), but once again anything is possible.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16124128949343301445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-19759047353573463722020-02-21T00:36:33.927-05:002020-02-21T00:36:33.927-05:00tryanmax, That's their main argument about imp...tryanmax, That's their main argument about impeachment!

This election would be a snoozer if it weren't for the increasingly clever explanations Democrats come up with for failing at everything they've tried these past three years. Just generating turnout has got to be the most aggressive downplaying I've ever seen. <br /><br />Of course, no matter how clearly the Democrats lose in November, it won't be their fault. The blame will fall on interference from Russkraine and Bernberg for spoiling it. Climate change and covid19, probably, too. tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.com
