Four Major Questions Emerge on the Campaign Trail

[tgards79]

August has been anything but quiet, and as we head into September there are four huge questions on the table:

1. Here are the four....

1. Who won/lost the GOP debate?
2. What can derail Trump?
3. Is Hillary in trouble?
4. Will Biden run?

[Fawke Em]

3. Those are the four questions?

Well, they're not the questions anyone I know would be asking.

Most people I know want to know what can be done so save this country from itself.

[tgards79]

5. What's the answer?

That's certainly a more substantial question. What are they saying is the answer?

[Juicy_Bellows]

10. Let me answer these softballs.

1. Trump
2. Trump
3. Yes
4. No

Cheers!

[Ron Green]

2. This guy is a minor part of the machinery

that keeps the game going; the game that keeps our politics working for transnational capital and against people.

Bernie Sanders' candidacy is a test for America. We may yet fail it.

[tgards79]

4. Do you really think so?

Don't you realize that if Bernie is nominated versus, say, Jeb Bush, he will either 1) tack center or 2) get absolutely crushed? And that he will start courting big money because he'll need a billion to have any chance? Beware of what you wish for.

[Ron Green]

6. If Bernie is nominated against Bush, he only has to tell the truth.

And remind everyone that Enough is indeed enough. If people don't respond to that, then America deserves Jeb Bush. And so it will be.

The game has got to come to an end.

[tgards79]

7. Why does it have to end?

I call that "wishing and hoping." Me, I want the Dems to win. I don't make unrealistic assumptions that things might change based on "truth telling" and hope for the best. This is a center-right country, emphasis on "center." Bernie would get crushed, Just like McGovern. And Ted Cruz would get crushed just like Barry Goldwater. Only centrist Dems win -- Carter, Clinton, Obama. Let's hope to god there is no smoking gun Benghazi email that Hillary is hiding, because she can win.

[Ron Green]

8. It has to end only if we want to turn away from this course of death and have a shot at

salvaging a world our kids and grandkids can live in.

We may not make it. A Republican in the WH may bring an in-the-streets revolution, whereas somebody like HRC could keep the death spiral going. However, I don't think she's electable given Republican hatred for her. Bernie, in my view, has a much better chance to pull it off.

These "four questions" in the OP is just more insider, horse race crap that's designed to keep people asleep.

[Chan790]

9. "because she can win."

Speculative assumption at-best.

(I honestly don't believe she can hold a lead or win.)

[Bluenorthwest]

11. Those are not the four questions....they are

1. Who's your Daddy?
2. Cake or death?
3. What's your shoe size?
and of course
4. What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

[tgards79]

13. Please clarify q4....

...an African or European swallow?

12. He says he's as good as Nate, but I don't know about either one of their abilities...

… and that affects one of the questions….

What is happening to the Democratic party at the local level? I'd say much of it is splitting right in front of our eyes. It's rather hard to poll who is behind and how the delegates are parsed when there is SO MUCH of this split. It's happening in Florida. I'm not sure about my own state of PA, but certainly in the states where the Democratic committees actually function.

How to know? Infiltrate the local meetings, and you'll get a better idea of who the party will nominate. I believe this is all about to change. Fuck those super delegates, anyway. What a bastardization that concept is...

The first thing that should fall out based on my perception and therefore the question as to whether HRC gets the numbers to indicate her party will support her nomination is… you guessed it… DWS. She's the one who's crapped on so much of the party. She should go. We do not need neo-liberals who try to keep up with all the brethren fascists leading us into debate limitation, based on what's in it for them.

It's no longer about what's in it for the "leaders"… We are WAY past that.
