Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumSanders has a history of disparaging Dems
If a Democratic Socialist, with a history of Marxist and socialist fawning, gets our nomination he will be defeated decisively in the GE. He's almost 80, he will be gone but leave a party, he was never loyal to, in shambles going forward. We will be Democratic socialists for numerous election cycles. We will be a coastal party. We can blame ourselves for being pushed around by Bernie Sanders- a career politician.

I genuinely can't wait to see what this place will be like when Bernie wins the nomination.

(1,773 posts)And yeah, Mike Bloomberg has shown nothing but respect for the voter base of this nation, especially the elderly ones stricken with cancer whom he doesn't think should receive treatment, or the countless POC who had their civil rights systematically violated in NYC during his lamentable mayoralty.

(301 posts)Im little let pessimistic than you. There is some chance we win. Although not much. But mainly I think Bernie is becoming inevitable. Many left folks tack to the center once they win. I hope Bernie does.

(17,387 posts)I guess if it is not Bernie, then it will be someone else like Tulsi Gabbard, who gains popularity by running against the "establishment" sort of like Rand Paul or Ted Cruz do among Republicans. Even Trump did it. This is great for elevating ones profile, but not great for our country. We need someone who can pull us together as a Nation. We do not need another person like Trump, Cruz, Gabbard, etc., who whine about being victimized by an establishment that they have been members of for decades.

In a scathing floor speech, the Texas firebrand accused the Senate majority leader of breaking his word to him and the rest of the GOP conference over McConnells plans for the controversial Export-Import Bank, the countrys chief export credit agency. In Cruzs telling, McConnell privately promised him and other Republicans that there was no deal with a handful of senators who were seeking to revive the bank in exchange for their votes to advance a major trade bill in May.
McConnell, he said, became visibly angry when Cruz challenged him on the matter during a meeting in May.
Like St. Peter, Cruz said, he repeated it three times. He said, The only thing I told the proponents of the Export-Import Bank is like any other senator in this body, they could offer any amendment they liked on an any amendable vehicle, but I gave them nothing.
