TRUMP And The Black Vote

A ‘Barr Fight’ over Roger Stone......”I’m not going to be bullied or influenced by anybody…whether it’s Congress, a newspaper editorial board, or the president.”

Then today, the media started reacting to the possibility of Bernie Sanders representing the Democratic Party:

Chris Matthews: Dems may be better off with Trump re-elected than Sanders 'taking over' the party

"I'm wondering whether the Democratic moderates want Bernie Sanders to be president," Matthews told panelists who were visibly surprised by the suggestion.

Newt Gingrich predicts Sanders is more likely to cost Democrats the House than win the White House

"He's the greatest gift Kevin McCarthy -- the Republican leader in the House -- could possibly hope for," Gingrich said on "Hannity." "Because Sanders really is the true Democratic Party. He represents all of the big-government ideas, all of the radicalism, all of the weird foreign policy that is at the heart of the Democratic Party.


James Carville rips DNC as Bernie Sanders wins Nevada: 'One of the truly stupid parties in the world'

"Some of these candidates are going to have to make really hard decisions about who stays in, who gets out, and where we go from here," he argued, suggesting that so-called moderate candidates may want to consider dropping out so one of them can take on Sanders.

********watch for the Sunday morning news shows to start questioning Bernie Sanders as a legitimate candidate********



Over the next couple of months of Sunday’s, watch for the Black Churches Of America to call their community to take a stand against the Democratic Party and the genocide of abortion they support:

SIGN ON THE LEFT
 


Hillary Clinton: “I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision.” said Hillary Rodham Clinton, “I am really in awe of her, there is a lot of lessons we can learn from her life.”

You Americans wouldn't understand, but - Trump has been touring India lately, including a stopover at their huge new stadium. To his credit, he did try to endear himself to the crowd by mentioning some great cricketers of the past.

However, he probably should've gotten someone to fact check his pronunciation first. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/24/s...ntl/index.html

Derek 02.24.2020 08:43 PM

Liberals don't want to understand that Trump, while evil and a crook, is good at this shit. He loves the attention of huge swathes of people and turns his energy outwards towards them. People actually think his twitter hurts him, when most people have to admit that it's incredibly funny and entertaining and that they secretly love the political theatre of it all. The president insulting all of his rivals and posting insane photoshops on a constant basis makes sense in postmodernity. The people that don't get this have been influenced too much by the ins and outs of 90s and 2000s neoliberalism. Even back in 1998, we had Bulworth to tell us of the future.

me and Ms Ild are going off to our "Postcards for Democracy" group today

To get-out-the-vote for Wisc (primary April 7th) &
for Florida's Vote-By-Mail Registration

These states are considered critical to win the presidency!

Florida has 29 Electoral Votes

Wisconsin has 10 Electoral Votes "...Trump won [WI] by [only] 22,000 votes in 2016." "...many pundits believe WI may be the single state upon which the [2020] Elections will turn."

Again, go out to these events. It's easy, put in a half hour, write 10 cards, or like we do, 2 hours and 50 or so....

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/201...-Our-Democracy

Bytor Peltor 02.27.2020 06:15 PM

I seriously admire you and your wife’s efforts of being involved in the process. Here in Texas, at least where I’ve lived, I’ve never experienced a candidate or supporter knocking on my door. Phone calls, while few and far between, were more prevalent when we had a landline. I’m thankful for NOT being disturbed, because I doubt such tactics would persuade me to change my vote.

We do love our yard signs, they are all over the place! Lastly, our local candidates do believe in being on the grounds, the appropriate number of feet away from the entrance, looking to give you the opportunity to shake their hand and look them in the eye before entering to cast your vote......on Election Day.

This is why I early vote : )

another 3+% drop in the market. Fed is out of ammo on the rate reductions (HOW LOW CAN YOU GO!?) This is largely to be attributed to Trimp. Market needs trustworthy leaders running things, Donnie has shown no competence and no honesty.

https://thehill.com/regulation/court...mueller-report

I know that Mueller is old news these days, but I still cannot get over some things:

1) Trump got away with murder, so to speak.
2) Barr let Trump get away with it.
3) Mueller himself fumbled at the 2 yard line. (Or is it the 98 yard line? I don't do football.) He expected Barr and Congress to deal with this properly. Was he blind?

not really, he's a long time republican, he wasn't going to do anything that would hurt the party. Remember his last minute bringing up of Hillary's emails? That was unprecedented. He's an R-op. Only posturing for posterity:mad:

For the second consecutive Friday, I spent serious coin on stocks.

I’ve doubled my shares of MPC and for the first time, I hold stock in CCL (Carnival Cruise Line).

I’ve been keeping a close eye on OXY, which is down to just under $27. I believe we are close to a bottom, but this could also be foolish thinking. With the City of Austin canceling SXSW and NCAA Men’s Basketball considering playing opening round games in empty arenas......the plunge very well could continue.

I fear that it is closer to 50%. This will go down as one the great mysteries/debacles of our times. How can such an incompetent asshole have so much support? I realize that this thread has tried to distill this subject throughout its hundreds of pages. But my brain still cannot process it.

i don’t think so.

some people are willing to tolerate him because “the economy” or fear of “socialism” but i think a moderate front can crush him

sure he might be willing to start a nuclear war for popularity but we’ll see how things develop

I'm honestly confused. I accept that while Sanders might have a very dedicated following he won't' convince enough of the country as a whole. But are we watching the same coverage? While it may be crude/insensitive to say so, I've seen too much to be able to deny that Biden has senile dementia. It's actually uncomfortable to watch. I'd go as far as to say that someone really needs to make a decision on his behalf and withdraw him from the race altogether, even if that means Sanders gets the gig by default.

I dunno, maybe somewhere in the system the Dems had a candidate really able to challenge Trump but the internal bullshit and distractions within the party this last 3 years means they're left with who they're left with. So in the circumstances, and considering I see it as a no-win situation regardless of who they choose, I say give it to Sanders. Not just to save Biden further humiliation but because if Sanders is thrashed in November at least it'll take a considerable amount of wind out of the sails of the activist wing of the party which might be precisely what the Dems need if they're to return to some kind of political reality in time for 2024, when Trump will no longer even be a thing.

!@#$%! 03.08.2020 05:57 PM

that animal is causing irreparable damage right now, and i don’t think it’s really possible for anyone here to strategize to some distant future as some sort of political game.

i know this looks like sport and abstractions to you but from our perspective lives and democracy itself are at stake. he’s our caligula. we’re getting fucked up.

and by 2024 we’ll have new supremes. rgb can’t last forever. thurgood marshall tried his best and couldn’t.

as for biden, he’s been fighting a stutter since he was 4. so that accounts for his speech problems. yes, he is old, but he’s not a fucking maniac. his pick of vp will be crucial here.

I actually do share your concerns. Joe is clearly past his best-before date, and I hate to say that, because I believe that he is decent and honest person. Is 8 years of Trump going to be the thing that finally gets the Dems shit together? Can we afford that? (Hang in there, Ruth.)

I disagree with your other points but I do at least see your logic. But on the issue of Biden's mental state, I can tell the difference between someone fighting a stutter and senile dementia, and while I can also see why the party and certain media sources are working flat out covering for him over this, let's not fool ourselves that it's anything other than what it is.

since we’re dealing with an A/B choice let’s not fool ourselves that president dead zone is in full possession of his faculties.

 

demonrail666 03.08.2020 06:43 PM

I've watched both of them give speeches in recent weeks. God knows there's plenty about Trump to take issue with but nothing to indicate he's senile. An egomaniac, without doubt, but not senile. I'm not echoing anyone's view here, I'm just saying what I see. Put Biden on a stage with Trump and I'm convinced he'll be eaten alive.

Again, I mostly agree with you. But I have been astounded by some of Trump's appearances, health-wise. Look at any interview with Trump from even just 10 years ago, and compare. Omarosa did have a point!

demonrail666 03.08.2020 07:44 PM

Every time I watch Trump speak I assume he's taken a big bump of coke beforehand. Assuming he is a bit of a fiend, that's obviously a problem for someone with his kind of responsibilities, nor will it be doing him any good physically. But somehow, whatever you might think of his policies, or his manner, he's holding it together better than i think a lot of even his most committed supporters might've privately thought when he 1st took office.

But maybe I'm wrong on that. As symbols says, I don't see the day to day stuff. In which case If Trump really is that fucked then I'm sure a party as big and established as the Dems can brush him aside in November, no problem.
