The American people will vote next year - nobody needs to speak for anybody; people will choose for themselves

Biden will never become President.
Jimizo
I don’t think I’m mistaken, but who were you backing when dismissing Trump as the leader of a lunatic fringe? I think you’ll find it was Carson and you thought his tax plan was better than the plan of any Democratic candidate.
What did I get wrong?

Trump employee's number around 20,000 but his businesses are starting to crumble like his Tower in NY. People don't want to live there.
All right, zichi, let's see you build a more successful business.

Biden 2020 "A hands on president"

Anger and fear drives Democrats to the voting box now. It used to be hope and change.
AOC says the world gonna end in 12 years! Gotta vote! Then quietly in the background she retracts that statement and says it obviously wasn’t to be taken literally.
Dems do this 100s of times to emotionally manipulate voters. They get scared, don’t know what is or isn’t true, then vote.

She’ll never be the nominee.

I don't think Biden will win the primary by, like HRC before him, running as the presumptive candidate.
Strangerland
Not to mention the fact that they are supporting Socialist policies like giving farmers hurting from tariffs money collected from other industry. "Socialism is bad, except when we like it".
bass4funk
Hmmmm, smearing Trump is one thing, smearing Barr is about as affective as mosquito biting an elephant Not only are the Dems stupid, but they have completely lost it and like Barr threw In Pelosi’s face, “got your handcuffs ready?” They are that far gone to dance with this guy? Lol, ok! Go ahead.
No one will let them get near them that’s why? Even AOC is now being challenged in her home district. The woman that killed 250 thousand jobs. Gawd!

I speak for the American people, WE the people do not want uncle Joe to be our President!!
Jimizo
You were backing Ben Carson and defending his idea of his a biblically-inspired tax while dismissing Trump as the leader of a ‘lunatic fringe’. You then quickly ‘evolved’ when Trump looked like getting the nomination and later compared him to Einstein.
Your predictions have been a source of a lot of fun here.

Trump's long been known to flip-flop and have zero regard for honesty. It's no surprise he's attracted so many like-minded followers.

Looks at the Trumpers here ignore their own preferred network's poll that shows Biden beating Trump by 11 points.

Biden will kill Trump if he is the nominee - he speaks to the blue collar workers who switched to Trump last time - and now realize they were conned. Farmers quitting because of his tariffs, manufacturing and steel workers being laid off. Those folks won't be voting for the author of "The Art of Losing $1 Billion"...
People across America see Trump for the Swindler he is - says keep out illegal immigrants but employs them at his properties, says China is stealing our jobs yet gets his and Ivanka's products manufactured there.
Americans with open eyes have seen the Trump Flim-Flam - and they're sick of it...
bass4funk
Boy was I wrong! ROFL!
Hillary did as well. ROFL!
Also, he’s not the Democrat nominee yet and if he does. For the third time, he will have his record of gaffes and non-accomplishments running against him.
Yeah, you said that about Hillary and he’ll go to prison, orange jumpsuit and all.
Ok, so Biden has the Unions....hmmm far different from individual Union workers, as for the farmers, some may and some may not, but here is where it gets interesting...

No one thinks that but the haters, everyone with a little sense knows that China produces 80% of the things we buy and when you own businesses and corporations and hire hundreds of managers, mistakes can and often happen, the problem was brought to attention, fixed and over and liberals trying to run with this will the same echo chamber effect as the Mueller witch hoax where everyone moved on except some haters and Nadler. But keep it up and but all the focus on Trump. Dems didn’t learn 2010, 2014, 2016 and in 2019.
Apparently, they’re even more tired of the Democrats.

Donald Trump is doing everything he can to destroy our country. Yes, we need to unite and defeat him, completely and with authority.
But that's not enough. I want our country to move forward, but I also want the Trump administration held accountable for their corruption and illegal activities. No more Dems playing Nice Guys.
I don't want to vote for a candidate that isn't willing to hold him accountable.
Blacklabel
You don’t see conservatives crying and screaming at the sky when we lose something. We just get up the next day and go to work like we always do.
Dems have to maintain the anger and emotional involvement in everything to fuel the resistance. There are no reasonable policies, it’s all just anger and emotion.
The Fox poll just shows that they don’t rig their polls and coincidentally found 1000 people that prefer Biden over Trump. Which is possible depending who you talk to.
If CNN has Trump besting everyone in a poll they would just throw it out and ever mention it. All this tells me is that Fox actually is fair and balanced.
bass4funk
And Democrats are saving it from.....
Many of think we need to defeat the forces of socialism and one party rule.
No more conservative nice guys and as a matter of fact, if they think Biden is their best shot, they got played, ask Mark Cuban.
Then you should never vote again.
PTownsend
Fear of the 'forces of socialism' is in the minds of those unable to see the world beyond slogans (preferably less than 7 words) pushed by partisan extremists.
Some of these partisan extremists are pushing to further entrench Trump's party as the sole party. They're pushing to marginalize opposition. They favor a Russian style of authoritarian or guided 'democracy' with powers centered on the executive, weakening the separation and balance of powers established by the US Constitution.
They need to be defeated.
lincolnman
Newsflash - its 2019, next election is 2020 - Hillary was over in 2016...time to move on from the unhealthy fixation...
He knows the difference between "origins" and "oranges" and can remember where his father was born...
Hillary, he, jumpsuit - I'm lost...
Yea, the union workers that are out of a job thanks to Trump's tariffs...
Really? You think his clothes and Ivanka's shoes are no longer made in China? Better check again...
Fox News poll - Biden beats Trump by double digits - the Con-man has been exposed....
Carrying out Putin's orders...
Guess you've never seen a Trump rally...
Really, so Fox News is not accurate?
bass4funk
Which now with Barr is starting the opposition of the opposition.
Good, go after AOC and Bernie. I got your back!
bass4funk
That's funny - Trumpers bring up Bush more than anyone else.
Actually, they really don’t and they don’t even talk about the Russian witch hoax, but Dems, it’s the only play they have. Yes, Nadler, I’m talking to you.
I’m not, But Did you?
PTownsend
Curious to hear why you think you're the one to speak for 'the American people'. Even if you might be American.
Completely agree. Those pushing alt facts and fake news need to be called out.
I'd like to see the current administration honest up and acknowledge the findings of the Mueller Report which said:
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s report into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential campaign spelled out in elaborate detail a sophisticated, Kremlin-led operation to sow division in the U.S. and upend the election by using cyberattacks and social media as weapons.
If either party is getting assistance from any foreign government, that must be called out.
bass4funk
Not because I didn’t think he could win, I thought he couldn’t beat Hillary, but with Biden what record will he run on? A stagnant economy? A sluggish economy, Obamacare? And that’s not including the gaffes and other scandals that are coming his way, and not to mention he’s gonna be pelted by the socialist Democrats.
Blacklabel
Biden will have a “health issue” or make a gaffe of some kind and be replaced once he is clearly the top person.
because if he doesn’t, his own party will drop some some more groping allegations or leak some more about his son and Ukraine.
He is just a place holder so that when he is replaced, whoever replaces him gets all his voters and immediately becomes #1 candidate.
bass4funk
You think that, I disagree.
Strangerland
At this moment, I'm liking Tulsey Gabbard. I've listened to her talk for 5-6 hours over two podcasts with Joe Rogan, and she sounds like the exact type of person to be president. She's ex-military, and basically the opposite of Trump - she sees the presidency as an act of service to the people, prioritizing working for the people over self-interests. Unlike Trump who sees the presidency as an act of service to himself, where his personal desires trump (pun intended) service to the people.
She's an extremely sensible speaker, and reasonably on the left, rather than extremely left or center. That makes her closer to my personal affiliation.
Joe is ok, but personally I'm an ageist and think he's too old.
PTownsend
I read several 'Trump represents the lunatic fringe' (approx) comments.
Strangerland
To which I reply:
bass4funk
I think you’re usually wrong. trump got elected. Trump is not going to prison, Trump now has the authority to send asylum seekers back. You were totally wrong on all of that. Not to mention, none of the Democrats have a plan or solid policy, socially and we won’t even talk economically that doesn’t involve taxing people to the hilt and with a 56% approval on the economy, the Dem candidates right now are a bag of DOA.
Chip Star
And then you realize how utterly incorrect you are when you remember Clinton stomped Donny in the popular vote, which expresses the actual will of the people.
Chip Star
Love when Trumpophiles project their world into libs. Donny whips up ignorance-driven fear amongst his base, does a few 180s to confuse them, and, because they are too stupid to know what's going on, just follow suit.
Serrano
work to unify the country in the wake of Donald Trump's presidency
As if Trump has divided the country. He is guilty, however, to not capitulating to the establishment.
Joe Biden has been a swamp rat in the U.S. government for 40 years. He has been part of the problem for 40 years, helping creating many problems, and solving far fewer.
Donald Trump is doing everything he can to destroy our country.
That would be the Democrats, Crazy.
Blacklabel
Fox has on air talent who constantly are anti/Trump and they keep a job. Who are the pro-Trump people on any other media outlet to provide balanced reporting and commentary?
bass4funk
Unhealthy is right! Is it even possible the Dems can do that at this point?
Pretty much the entire Democrat party, Nadler especially.
https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-09-12/blue-collar-workers-and-trump-have-reason-to-celebrate
Yes, as Schumer and other Democrats said, they want this President to push China and they told many of the farmers it’s going to hurt, but stay strong. Wow, Schumer hanging with Trump, love it.
Yeah, uh-huh...ROFL!

Been to one, awesome! If Biden can get over 15-20,000 at every single rally filled to the brim crowds where they have to add extract seats outside with speakers and big screens, I’ll owe you an apology, but I don’t think I’ll ever need to.
bass4funk
You guys try and say that constantly and no one believes you.
And the Democrat socialists are doing the same thing, worse. They want to get rid of the EC, packed the courts with more liberals, think convicted felons should vote, want 16 year olds that can’t even clean their rooms properly to vote, they want illegals to vote, in some States it’s already happening, they can never get any of their whacked policies through, so they need the courts to help them and that doesn’t look like it’s happening anymore at least for a generation, so they want to change and cheat the system. Their policies are flawed and instead of making policies where everyone could benefit from, they go as far left and as radical as they can.
Only liberals are talking ans thinking about Russia, Russia, Russia, yeah, keep thinking that and keep chasing them rabbits, better for Trump and the Republicans.
First you need a decent candidate, a moderate that embraces capitalism first and you might have a chance....maybe...
Chip Star
People that want to erode our democratic norms by attacking the institutions that underpin those norms.
Chip Star
We've gone so irrelevant that we're talking about corrupt, biased, angry, partisan Barr? That's pretty far afield.
They aren't constantly disparaging our institutions, so I have no idea what you are talking about. More irrelevance.
Strangerland
23 people in the race. Of course this comment is probably true, but if it turns out to be, it won't be because you knew what you were talking about.
Chip Star
So did we. Found ourselves in the opposition and began being the opposition.
theFu
There seem to be lots of angry people. It is the sort of anger the Reps had when President Obama was in office. I understand it, especially for unmarried people in their sexual prime who are afraid some national laws are going to be overturned.
Being angry isn't helpful for any politician or election. Stick with honest facts. There isn't any need to lie or even stretch the truth.
It would be good if someone got Mr. Biden to talk a little less crazy by pushing socialist solutions and trying to overturn the State's Rights doctrine.
Mr. Biden has been around so long and has been forced to actually take positions in all those prior years, before some of the large societal changes happened that many core values for the far left Dems are hard for him.
Blacklabel
Tulsi Gabbard would be fine. But the Dem anger wont allow her to even have a chance.
Kestrel
There are things I like about Tulsi too. But she should be a Republican. Todays Dem party is so far to the left she doesnt belong in it.
I agree that the Dems will sabotage Joe if he continues to lead the pack.
Blacklabel
Biden is right about the unnecessary anger within the Dem party, it just makes liberals intolerable to talk to or to be around. All this “righteous anger” and Trump hate won’t win the election.
But if they aren’t angry, Dems won’t go vote. So got to keep creating things to be angry about I guess.
bass4funk
I hope they do hope the Dems make Biden the nominee. ROFL!
