#32  Saw a Subaru this morning with a 'President Sanders' sticker. Either didn't get the news or is in denial…..

#31  wonder where his new house is.

#30  Yes, turnout is everything. GOTV.
It will come down to who's more successful at turnout in WI, MI and PA.

#29  More an "anti-Trump" vote? It is Wisconsin, after all. But, no matter...still not good.

#28  Don't get cocky, folks. An uber-liberal just beat out a standing conservative State Supreme Court Justice in Wisconsin...by a fair percentage.

That hasn't happened for a while. The get-out-the vote drive by the left was staggering.

Also that a huge amount of outside lefty money (Tides included) was spent on deceiving ads making the lib look wholesome and centrist.

Now lets take that scenario to the national stage and there's still great concern on my part.

#27  AOC is hoping to slip into the Bernie role. She's young and doesn't have his baggage.

#26  I think of South African Sign Language Guy every time I see someone signing next to someone at a podium. Unfair to actual professionals, for sure, but I can't help myself.

#25  Oh ho ho ho ho.

The wailing and the gnashing of teeth is music to my ears. The true believers in socialism got fucked over again by their idol. After he did it back in 2016 too.

The democrats have closed their party to the far left and are totally under control of the corporate neoliberal wing. Not so different from the establishment GOP.

Some right wingers started a rumor on twitter that Bernie was refunding his campaign contributors since he won't be needing it. Of course, there are NO REFUNDS.

#24  I don't think I'd have the tires to give the 'Biden is a much better person than I am' speech without anything short of South African Sign Language Guy beside me.

#23  Gracias Bella Donna.

#22  I still think Bernie is a believer. But I also believe he found out how lucrative it is to run for president and is cashing in as much as he can. Best way to do that is when you lose, support the establishment.

#21  For some of them in 2020, as in 2016, the second choice is not the anointed Democrat but Donald Trump. I find this fascinating.
Posted by: trailing wife   2020-04-14 10:35  

#20  The key point for the election is that the young lefties don't vote. Typically only 25%, max 35% in the best of times/periods of greatest enthusiasm.

Add to that their disappointment over being told to vote for Plugz and you get massive underperformance by this crucial Dem cohort this fall.

= Trump's chances just ratcheted upward again

#19  Nancy's amateurish stunts show a certain discipline.
Brennan's fulminations are always on message.
They're deranged but each is monomaniacally focused.
Posted by: Lex   2020-04-14 08:29  

#18  #16 Although Brennan's effort to bring down Trump was as amateurish as it gets. Ditto, Nancy's Ukrainian "scandal".
Posted by: g(r)omgoru   2020-04-14 08:27  

#17  Agreed that Ratshita and The Talking Mule are energetic. Manic, frenzied even.
Posted by: Lex   2020-04-14 08:17  

#16  Adio, Frankie Five Angels.
Posted by: Cesare   2020-04-14 07:54  

#15  OK, Not Nancy & John. The squad.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru   2020-04-14 07:54  

#14  Not while stoned.
Posted by: Lex   2020-04-14 07:52  

#13  Children are energetic.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru   2020-04-14 07:51  

#12  Energetic and disciplined they are. Fiercely so.
Posted by: Lex   2020-04-14 07:50  

#11  ^And Nancy and John aren't?
Posted by: g(r)omgoru   2020-04-14 07:49  

#10  ^ They lack the energy and discipline for that. Many, perhaps most of Boinie's supporters are overgrown children.
Posted by: Lex   2020-04-14 07:46  

#9  ^They'll just switch to undermining the system from within - like Pelosis and Brennans.

#8  Many will stay home in November, helping Trump (again)
Posted by: Lex   2020-04-14 07:44  

#7  Now all those beardo weirdo Che wanna bes and angry college girls in their guillotine t-shirts talking revolution and riots at the dem convention will have to put up or shut up. Now we will see who's just so much empty talk.

#6  Ooops.

#5  I'm beginning to think that Bernie is NOT a true believer - just a conman who found a business niche.

#2  Take the money and run. Limousine socialists, big on talk, big on racking it in.
