Sorry, which party did you say was "the least diverse most racist party in history"?

I've said it before. I'll say it again- Bernie is the only one who can beat trump. but it looks like the democrats are going to run Biden against him and we'll have a repeat of 2016. May very well be a second term for trump. looking more and more likely.
Chip Star
Let’s hold the blatant lies until at least 8:00.

Joe may appear to be the lead for the moment, but Bernie's people aren't going allow that to happen nor are they going to allow the convention to screw Bernie out of the nomination. It's going to be a very nasty fight at the convention and there will be a brokered convention.
Warren and her supporters are now the wild card and hedging their bet and angling on who to align with. Hint: It won't be Biden or Sanders.

Right decision, Biden has come back stronger, and it’s a 2 candidate race now.
I wish she endorses Bernie though.
Jimizo
Isn’t this similar to what the Republicans did to Obama?
Seems a bit hypocritical to complain when the behaviour is repeated.
rcch
should, ve done that three days ago ... the timing s-cks ( Pete “something” was even worse, he knew what he was doing... ) ... Bernie can,t be happy with that ... this probably cost him the nomination ...... the establishment stinks already ...

Of the fourteen states voting on Super Tuesday, Biden got ten, Sanders got four and Trump got all fourteen. Trump was running essentially unopposed yet Republican turnout and vote count broke records in a number of blue and key swing states. This would seem to indicate that the Republicans are pretty well organized and have a good ability to turn out the vote. Which bodes well for 2020.
Not necessarily, but what it does show is that the power elite of the Democratic Party coordinated a successful effort to revive Biden's frontrunner position and stymie Sanders. Mayor Pete and Amy's sudden dropping out and lining up behind Biden is clearly the result of a negotiated settlement. Their rewards will be coming in future political endeavors. Even Warren's hanging on and then dropping out after the vote smacks of political finagling. Not only did she potentially draw off voters who might have leaned towards Bernie but now she has set herself up as a kind of king maker with an eye on a place in a Biden administration. Garrens Ball Barrens.
As amazing as it may seem Trump's support is at an all time high. For many Americans the political left is the one that is becoming increasingly extreme. As the Democrats lurch farther and farther leftward they have left the comfort zone of many Americans far behind. The majority of Americans self identify as "moderate" with about 30 percent of Americans calling themselves "conservative". Trump promotes and advocates for policies that a surprising number of Americans agree with and for those people he is anything but extreme.
Jimizo
Oh, it was based on principle rather than partisanship.
Republican Senator George Voinovich was quoted as saying “If [ Obama ] was for it, we had to be against it”.
Sounds more like partisanship than principle to me.
vanityofvanities
The next American president will be either Trump or Biden. People say Trump is likely to win but viewing the result of Super Tuesday, it will not be a sure thing. Super Tuesday result shows Biden's middle of the road is getting support of people. I felt Trump's extreminism is losing support of people. Trump's role is over. Toxin is enough with four years.

Warren always had a whiff of ambiguity about her "left" credentials which created a cloud of suspicion for people looking for a truly progressive candidate. If she "has a plan" for Bernie and endorses him, it would be a "quid pro quo" that would benefit the Dems yugely since Trump will probably dump his tailor's dummy and select a woman to appeal to the distaff electorate. But every day Liz dithers, her trustworthiness takes a hit.

She didn’t win even her own State, that’s telling right there. Her war on Wall St., sexism charges, war on men, Medicare for all left a lot of people uneasy.
bass4funk
And?
No we do. I just listed them. Anyway, relax, she’s history now, so just focus on Biden or Sanders, all is not lost yet.
DMW
All D Trump has to do now, is keep his mouth shut, and like the rest of us, watch the Dem team self implode, and his next 4 years is almost guaranteed. Its a bit concerning that Berns could rally the immigrant and young college folks, but I think their numbers are not there.
Trump, keep his mouth shut? Ain't gonna happen
Serrano
Another one bites the dust. Three left to go - Biden, Bernie and Tulsi. There's still the possibiilty of Hillary jumping into a brokered DNC convention.
Well fought, Senator.
You gotta be kidding, Chip. She ran one of the worst campaigns. It was hers to lose early on, and she blew it.
bass4funk
I already answered the question.
The Democrats want to block Trump because one reason, they hate everything he stands for. Apparently, you didn’t watch Schumer lose his mind yesterday. But this is their problem and why they’ll never get the WH acting like stupid little kids.
Chip Star
According to certain posters it was okay for republicans to block Obama’s policies because they thought the policies would “sink the country,” which they clearly didn’t. This same poster thinks it’s outrageous that Democrats are doing the same to Trump for the exact same reason. This is a great example of hypocrisy.
Jimizo
My post was replying to Wolfpack.
It goes without saying you are a partisan.
Chip Star
The Republican Party increasingly represents the white, Christian, male and rural elements of the U.S. electorate.

Looks like these people don’t see too well...
bass4funk
What? Oh, lol!
Oh, I definitely agree with that.
Strangerland
She's still my choice.
But realistically, they smeared her image, and now she won't be the choice. She's young though, and will have four years to plan for the next one.
Hervé L'Eisa
I almost feel sorry for Liz.... Not! She didn't fail because she is an old, very wealthy, white woman of ~1/1024th native American ancestry, but rather that her ideology is anathema to the majority of even current democrats. KAG!
Jimizo
So why did Warren drop out? Why didn’t she stay in to further hobble Sanders?
Our scriptwriters are very quiet today. Writers block? No convincing narratives floating around to plagiarize?
bass4funk
It’s pretty much going to end badly for the Democrats. Just now on Trucker Democrats we’re voicing deep, deep concern with Biden and not having all of his faculties ans losing to Trump and at the same time, going with Bernie could destroy the entire Democrat party and have them lose everything including the House. Sanders should win California easily, but Biden has the backing and money of the establishment. Well, it should be fun to watch both sides go at each other.
TheLongTermer
During the first rounds of Dem debates, some of the more younger Dem candidates were tripping up Biden left and right; he is senile and unfit to be president, and his corrupt sons legacy is now an open book for us to read. Trump will destroy, no worries about that. Biden reps for the old dem club, who havent done nothing for decades. Useless.
Tulsi and mayor Pete are young and bright but not well connected and no experience. Sorry, being a Vet doesnt qualify; thats just more of the same pandering. The old Dem and Repub paradigms are dated, and Trump was the answer to both. He is the most fit to continue the trajectory the US is on. Change is needed, but its too risky to put an inexperienced millennial in right now.
TheLongTermer
where the Dems went wrong, IMO, is there pandering to people of color, women, immigrants, gay and trans etc, while not really coming in with a sensible plan. Some tried to make a break from the old school Dem establishment, but they just ended up pandering promises to specific groups, and essentially that is racist people were left with an uneasy, fake feeling. Only young impressionable people buy that; the rest can see it for what it is, its risky and dangerous. I expect more of this from Berns, Biden will just become a clown show of incompetence.
bass4funk
That’s like saying Joy Behar is a Republican.
Yes, that’s true but the Democrats don’t want to work with him, what is it again with the slogan ”resist”, doesn’t seem like much effort in wanting to work with this president. Their words.
maybe in four years the Democrats can learn to finally put the race card and identity politics card behind them, it’ll help them in the long run to winning over people and winning elections.
Wolfpack
If Biden wins I’ve got this rather new rhetorical device ready to throw into the fray. Haha - both sides are hypocrites so when the Left throws out the ‘But Bobby did it too’ defense they are going to have this deflection thrown right back at them.
bass4funk
A Democrat playbook. See California.
Democrats us minorities to get votes, promise them things and then.....nothing.
No, they do not, if they did, they wouldn’t just promise minority huge changes and then in the end do nothing. The majority of minority communities where the Democrats presided over are in some of the worst shape, so how are the Democrats helping these people exactly, no platitudes, just exact details. I drove through Watts a year ago and you still have vacant buildings from the 60’s Watts riots, that’s insane!
No one is scared but the Democrats, every Dem on virtually every network are so frightened of the prospect that Trump will badly beat either Biden or Sanders. You guys were saying that Trump is going to be indicted by Mueller, you guys said that Trump was going to be impeached and now you guys say that Warren or Pete will take Trump, none of that happened and now you guys think Biden or Sanders will take Trump? Oh, my God....lol

ROFL, the nutter talking point which totally ignores all the reasons behind the issue.
The GOP appeals to the bigots to get theirs, and your point?
They definitely do, just like Donny and his Klansmen don't.
Donny sure is, he knows he has made a mess of the Coronavirus response by listening to his uneducated fellow nutters.
bass4funk
That Democrats don’t care?
No, because every minority community that supports the Democrat party are some of the worst and most violent neighborhoods, so once again, stay with me, how are Democrats addressing this issue?
Klansman? The 80’s are over you guys.
Yeah, they said that about Hillary and Jeb and then he does what he usually does, wipe the floor with his opponents.
ulysses
That nutters don't know their facts...
There's a term for people who tarnish a race because of a behavior of a few.....
But the spirit stays on in the nutters
Which is what, like calling into Hannity and telling him WHO is wrong, that people will get better even if they don't go to the doctor, calling it the Coronaflu.....
Looks like his party has to wipe behind him!!!!
SuperLib
So much identity politics from Conservatives here.
TheLongTermer
All D Trump has to do now, is keep his mouth shut, and like the rest of us, watch the Dem team self implode, and his next 4 years is almost guaranteed. Its a bit concerning that Berns could rally the immigrant and young college folks, but I think their numbers are not there.
Biden is too senile and emotional; a few rounds and an embarrassing ending for him as Trump pounces. Sanders is so far out there, more or less the same ending. The only one that could be a challenge to Trump is Bloomberg, he has the money and experience, he has played on both teams. Not much of a debater but I think he has moves. The Dems should of backed him but they have no common sense.
SuperLib
Biden will be fine debating Trump. It's not like he's going up against someone with solid control over the English language.
I predict Biden will win both the popular vote and the EC.
Strangerland
Except that it's not. You people don't like to acknowledge the fact that the people haaaaaaate Trump, and after four years of him, they're ready to unite to boot him to the curb.
These are the primaries. It's where the party discusses internal issues. There's no rift, just a race for leadership.
Hubert Gulletchip
People seem to forget that Tulsi Gabbard is still in the race. Young, strong, anti-war veteran, religious minority, with a plan. Yet the establishment democrats want to paint her as a "Russian asset". How very progressive of them. She didn't play ball back in 2016 after the rigged primary against Bernie then, and they have been sour about it ever since.
Jimizo
No conspiracy theory as to why she dropped out?
How disappointing.
Wolfpack
There are no centrists left in the Democrat party. Not a single pro-choice Democrat is welcome. All that’s left are Socialists (Biden) and neo-Marxists (Bernie). The cream of the Super Delegates crop are pulling out all the stops to derail Sanders just like they did in 2016. The establishment candidate now is Biden rather than Hillary. Putting the fix in strategy didn’t pay off very well four years ago. The Bernie Brigades are getting angry again.
The party of diversity is the party of choice led white heterosexual men. Good luck getting BLM and generation Z to turn out for him.
TheLongTermer

So the Democrats, by not being bigots, have gone wrong!!!!!ROFL
The first priority of any President should be to work with all groups, racial , gender et etc.What the right wing nutters forget is that the ones different from you are also people!!!
I hope the 4 years under this bigot are not forgotten and we learn lessons to ensure the same mistake is never repeated.
Wolfpack
Focusing on racial and other differences IS bigotry.
What the “nutters” are trying to say is that all lives matter - not just certain ones required to get Dems elected. Dems don’t believe all people are people- they believe some people require inferior treatment (ie discrimination) and people of the wrong race are morally inferior (white privilege theory). The Democrat party has always been the party of racial incitement. Warren exemplified this identitarian preoccupation.
bass4funk
Principals are important. I know liberals just believe in the feel good moment, but in reality life doesn’t flow like that, we see this in California.
ulysses
Focusing on the underprivileged is bigotry only to the bigots.
Totally irrelevant, logic fail again and again.
No the nutters are not saying that, they want to take advantage of a minority and discard them when they are not useful. Donny does exactly that...
They definitely do, its the nutters who don't believe that all humans have equal rights!!!!
They are already doing that, its the nutters who are running scared!!!
TheRat
She needs to endorse Bernie, if she is really a progressive and Bernie needs to put her on his VP slot, THEN he can easily win these other states, and it will be bye bye Biden, whose voting record on EVERY social issue mirrors a republican! He is funded by fossil fuels, BIG Pharma, credit card industries, now if you like government by bribery, well Trump and Biden are your men. It is time the government be BY the people and FOR the people, but I am sure some "conservative posters" have a REAL problem with that.
SuperLib
Especially at the ballot box.
Which ones were those specifically?
The next question is who she will endorse.
SuperLib
Yawn,
It's clearly a case of moderates/centrists in the race supporting the other moderate/centrist. Yawn.
Everyone was surprised at what happened with Warren. No one had any idea she'd do so poorly on Super Tuesday. Yawn.
SuperLib
I said "specifically" to avoid the word salad of catchphrases. You have no idea what her policies are. Now you could research and paste them in here, but research isn't really your thing.
Prove me wrong.
bass4funk
Different, they weren’t going to sign their Job Hancock on policies that they knew would sink the country, look what happened to these Democrats, that’s why. At least Clinton wasn’t toxic when it came to a lot of his policies.
Sneezy
These are the same jokers who will cry that straight white men are on the verge of extinction and need extra-special protection.
ulysses
Thats already driven Donny into a panic, not only will Biden or Sanders undo everything his corrupt administration did, he has to deal with Warren going after him.
Time for Donny to call up his buddy Putin for either more information or asylum!!!!
bass4funk
That’s because a lot didn’t get passed through Congress and the ones where he used his pens and phone got steamrolled by Trump.
My bad.
If you think so.
arrestpaul
If Warren had quit when Buttigig, and the others, had quit, Bernie would have been in much shape, delegate-wise. I wonder if Bernie will thank Warren by making her is vice president?
Chip Star
Well fought, Senator.
TheLongTermer
Yep and that rift is what is destroying the Dem team, old school corrupt Dems like Biden Hilary Bill and Obama, and the new freebie socialist alternative like Berns who appeals to the millennials Its the Dems own fault; they started this radical left wing shift. Strange that looney tunes Liz is blaming her loss on the change, she is part of it also.
