B4 it's even bgun. Takes me back 2 the 1980s when Fritzy Ditzy ran. There were several good candidates in the field that yr but noooooo.. Fritzy was the VP & if he wanted 2 run 4 Prez, well dagnabbit, he was gonna run 4 Prez! I thought we're screwed. Even with Geraldine Ferraro making her historic run as the 1st VP candidate. Like my Mama said, honey nobody votes 4 the VP.
I just hope Uncle Joe don't f things up this time around. Or that the DNC don't cheat 2 get him nominated
FWIW, I don't see him making the cut, though he will act like a snowplow and push a few of the less suitable bidders off the road. This time, we'll know by Xmas who is viable. If may be a few more than typical for the Dems, but it won't be the circus the GOP had in 2016. I see Kamala Harris still in the running, and one of the youngish candidates -- probably Beto, Beyond that, it's a coin toss.
Assume winning the general will be the factor that takes out the otherwise decent candidates. More than a few have no shot winning there.
-- Beto's a douche. Bsides, if the DNC really did insist that Uncle Joe, a.sitting VP sit out the 2016 circus when protocol would say it was his prerogative 2 run, then they owe him.. Not that l agree with that logic imho the DNC should keep it's hands off the primaries & let the voters weed them out. But l suspect they are too far gone 4 that
Love him or hate him. Beto has charisma, and that's bankable in politics. I have no idea what his platform is. No one does. That's one of his strengths in this bizarre world of reality politics. I doubt it will take him to the big show, but he'll be in it until then. He has a real shot at VP, and that may be his plan, for all we know.
-- exactly. He's another bam-bam. All foam, no beer. Sidesteps real questions on the issues, spews alot of bs, sez nothing of substance. His voting record is not all that ( & when l find the article I'll post the link) in sum he's a Big Oil ho & (yet another!) neolibturd. None of which really surprises me. I am leery of anybody the Lame Stream Media pimps including AOC ( there l said it) l like some of her stuff like the New Green Deal, but l still have 2 wonder why the LSM is pimping her. They ignore true progressives like Tulsi, or Merkeley, or my homeboys Dennis & Sherrod. They only cover Bernie cuz they have 2. They are downright hostile 2 other true progressives like those 2 Congresswomen who called out AIPAC. 2 Houses full of men & those 2 chicks are the only ones with balls. Luv those 2. Since the LSM hates them I'm pretty sure they're the real deal
