President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Hence Biden's one-term presidency, and the inclusion Beto as the No. 2 and clear heir-apparent. Unless he wins a Senate race in 2020, or returns to a position of no power in the House, he stands a much better chance of winning in 2024 as a sitting Veep.

I think the Demo base is going to be plenty motivated, especially with Obama campaigning for Biden much more effectively than he did for HRC. I don't think the Dems can win from the far left, have to get to the left-central, like Clinton and Obama did.

 

Democrats haven't seen an "old white guy" presidential nominee in 15 years. And that old white guy (Kerry) was 61. White guy before him (Gore) was 52. White guy before him (Clinton) was 46.

 

Devin Nunes removes his head from Trump's rear to say hi.

 

Biggest problem with Biden or Bernie - people already know them. The Dems haven't elected a President with a strong national profile in 50 years (Carter was an unknown Gov., Clinton was an unknown Gov., Obama was a rookie Senator). The party likes "new blood" that hasn't built up a lot of scar tissue and bad votes/decisions yet.

 

The difference with Biden as the old white guy is that people loved him as VP and I think a lot of the party wanted to see him get the nomination as an extension of Obama's presidency. If he's in the race he isn't going to suffer eldery fatigue.

Now the other golden oldies, male or female, are going to have trouble, unless their VP candidate shines.

 

"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

What'd be the upshot?

I mean, good words. How's it translate practically?

 

Stop.
Stop with the polls.

 

I don't care if this is true; it's funny.

Trump's advisers urge him to bench Giuliani after hapless media appearances: Report

Moreover, Republicans close to the White House told AP they believe Giuliani may be appearing on TV after drinking alcohol, so he should be banned from evening appearances on news shows.

 

Figured he'd run for governor in 2020, but YOLO.

Democratic mayor Pete Buttigieg running for president; would be first openly gay nominee

 

Reasonable explainer here about the OK/white supremacy finger thing.

Is that an OK sign? A white power symbol? Or just a right-wing troll?

 

As an openly gay Democrat I think he he has a better chance of being elected POTUS than Governor of Indiana.

 

Good question. For one (of many) things, it probably includes ending abortion. I’m comfortable saying Christ would be for that. Is that your definition of love? Probably not. That’s what I mean by upshot.

So the question about Gay’s words still stands. What’s this accommodation - since she thinks these Covington kids have somehow been accommodated in all this - look like? What do you think it looks like? I’m not saying I disagree. I’m saying, OK, good words, what’s the action attached to it.
