President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Obviously way too early and PPP has a Democratic lean to it, but um - yeah.

 

Trumpers in college? That's one hell of a leap of faith.

 

What Wohl is trying to do with Harris is one or two of the fallback arguments birthers tried with Obama when it became obvious that any scenario where Obama could have been born in Kenya and had his birth fraudulently registered in Hawaii was kind of far-fetched. Some claimed that when he lived in Indonesia, his parents revoked his US citizenship (which is not possible).
Others claimed that to be a "natural-born citizen" one needed to be both born in the US and have two US citizen parents at the time of birth. They cited some obscure Swiss philosopher named Vatell, whom nobody ever heard of until the birthers pulled his name out of their asses.
The fact that birthers even had fallback arguments proved they had nothing.

I think I Biden/Beto ticket would be pretty much unbeatable, especially if Biden made it clear he's not tied to serving two terms. Biden would destroy Fucko on the campaign trail and in debates.

 

Biden would reduce Trump to spouting obscenities while making some of his stupid faces.

But, Biden: still too old.

No one older than 60, please and thank you.

 

I think that "Fox and Friends" and other conservative media outlets need to find targets to ridicule. This will invariably be a minority. The New York tabloids used Al Sharpton as their go-to pinata for years. Attacking Maxine Walters is another staple. So a young, unknown minority woman with limited experience comes along and the assumption that many conservatives make is that she is a slow witted. However, she is someone who handles the attention really well.

 

I think you vastly underestimate how much “not another old white guy” is a major point of emphasis for Democratic base turnout

 

Warren and Harris each announced fundraising in excess of $1 mil on their first day as "real candidates." No doubt this is now the established "ante" to be taken seriously (and without corporate PAC money). Bernie opened with $1.5m when he announced his run in 2016.

 

Depends on how “really well” is defined. I’d define it in part by her ability to do what she’s been elected to do - represent her district.

 

In what? A primary? A general election?

 

I don't think any attention she will generate has anything to do with how well her constituent services operation will work or how many earmarks she gets for her district. It is quite possible to be a nationally prominent political figure and do a poor job of representing a district.
