The 2020 Democratic Presidential Nomination Campaign

I agree with everything you say here. I think in situations where this does come up the candidate's only response should be replaying "Access Holywood tape" and a list of the women who accused Trump, and no other discussion.

You asked what women and I answered. If that's not good enough, go piss up a rope.

I'm have trouble thinking of anyone who would not be better than Trump. The only ones are already dictators, oh well, and also all the idiots who support Trump. So there are millions who are not better than Trump....never mind.

I thought Inslee is the governor Washington. He's full on climate change candidate.

Fireworks are the best part of any celebration!

I haven't decided if I like any of them yet, but I have seen several interviews with the mayor, and he is very articulate and he seems really comfortable on the national stage.He is very young, but still has an impressive resume. I don't expect him to be a finalist this time, but this young man has the future. I can easily picture him as President some day.The thought of a career sitting in meetings makes me shudder, so I'm glad there are some good people who actually seek such a career.

So how many square miles of building roofs are there in Nebraska?

And they're all women, but I have a hard time imagining any Democrat in leadership or candidate positions not being hyper-partisan, after dealing with Mitch McConnell and Congressional Republicans this past decade.And they are each expert-level knowledgeable in their field, Congress and the law and effective leadership, world affairs, and banking and finance. You may not like their personalities or histories, but I don't think you can credibly deny their qualifications. I am always amazed that there are people who would intentionally seek jobs that consist of sitting in meetings, all day, every day.Disingenuous is a good word. I would say it can be validly used to describe most politicians.Can you name any Republicans that are not hyper-partisan considering Trump's 90+% approval from Republicans?

I feel the same way about warren. She might hold her own with Trump, but right now I am hoping one of the younger people will emerge as likely winner against President Shit-for-Brains. That and dominating the House and Senate are as important in my mind as policy. Policy is important but if you don't have the power it means nothing.

The "right thing" is never going to be in the Republican bag of tricks.

I didn't see any men on the list in the message I was answering.

Pelosi, Clinton and Warren come to mind as being disingenuous and hyper-partisan.

I am unaware of Mitch McConnell having any knowledge in any of the fields I listed other than Congress. And I did not say anything about knowledge of politics. Actually I rushed in to point out that hyperpartisonship is hardly surprising considering McConnell's anti-American bullshit.

So, Congress passed a law that says the border patrol has to lock people up in cells with standing room only, no sanitation or medical care? Congress passed a law that says children of all ages should be locked up in cages with no sanitation or adult care?I'll tell you what, let's just shoot them all, then everyone will be happy.[/sarcasm]

Well, the minutia of humane treatment of humans is something I grew up thinking America stood for. I have no idea what an open border is.I personally remember when there was an orderly flow of workers from Mexico back and forth across the border and they were welcomed. Some stayed and eventually became citizens and contributed to America's prosperity. I don't know. What is it that Trump wants? It appears to me that what we have right now is exactly what Trump wants.One side in this issue are assholes that are lying about the impact immigrants and refugees have on our country and they make me ashamed that they are humans.They have diminished the "American Dream" to the point it is unrecognizable.Edited by Tanypteryx, : No reason given.Edited by Tanypteryx, : No reason given.

I agree with Theodoric, a great post.Once again we have a situation where the Trumpublicans hate what THEY SAY DEMOCRATS ARE DOING, while Democrats hate WHAT REPUBLICANS ARE ACTUALLY DOING!
