Bring a Bernie Backer to a Warren Rally.

Somebody ran this past me.
It was somebody who was a Bernie supporter but still had an interest in Warren.
She went to a Warren rally and flipped.
She told me that she believes that a lot of Bernie people would be open to switching if they could see and hear Elizabeth in person.
So maybe those of us who live in cities where Warren has a rally should try to bring a Sanders supporter with us?

I will be our nominees biggest cheerleader 📣.

Even though I prefer a woman, no matter who our nominee is they will have my full and unconditional support. I will travel to a swing state or do whatever is humanly possible to put a Democrat back in the White House.
Who is with me?

I'm headed to Vegas. I know what our ticket will be.

You might want to place a side bet on my advice.
Our ticket will be:
Elizabeth Warren/Cory Booker or Andrew Gillum
(OR)
Joe Biden/Kamala Harris or Stacey Abrams
I’m gonna place several bets with those combinations.

Now, please, my fellow Dem soothsayers tell me if I’m on track and should bet the mortgage or way off base and should just go see Wayne Newton instead of betting.

Who will have best and worst performances tonight.

I’m gonna go down the popularity scale and say Beto will say f it and be best (as Melanoma would say) and Yang will make a big announcement that the media will pan as the worst moment.

CNN or MSNBC should hold GOP Pres debates.

4 states, so far, have cancelled their GOP primaries so that Trump won’t be embarrassed.
I think that some cable network should invite all 4 Republicans to a debate and then have an empty podium for Trump next to Weld, Walsh, and Sanford.

Permit me to ask a question of Sanders & Warren supporters only.

If your first choice is Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, please post your second choice.
I have a friendly wager with someone about this.
Thanks.

The Greens & Libertarians candidates.

I think it will be interesting to see if the Greens nominate Jill Stein again.
And you never know what The Libertarians will come up with.

Where's the enthusiasm for Thursday's debate.

Seems to me that there was a lot more pre debate talk and interest for the first two than this one.
Or maybe we’ve all just been caught up in all of Trumps daily craziness.

Anyway, for those that plan to watch on Thursday, what are you expecting?
Who do you think the media will be praising and dishing after it’s over?

I actually agree with Joe Scarborough on Biden strategy.

This morning, Morning Joe devoted a segment to Biden’s gaffes and just how important and non important they are.
Scarborough (who wants Biden to be President) blamed Biden’s staff for putting him in awkward situations. He said that Biden just needs to stick to a TelePrompTer script at rallies and not go off script where he has been prone to mix up his stories or misspeak.
This makes sense to me.
I hope that Biden’s staff was watching.

You may say that I don’t want Biden to win because I declared Warren as my favorite.
I actually would be very comfortable with Biden as President.
I just prefer a woman with either Warren or Harris getting our nomination.
However, if we get into the primaries in early 2020 and a lot of the reputable polling (both nationally and in key battleground states) continue to show Biden beating Trump easily whereas those same polls showing a close race with Trump against other Dems, then I will switch to Biden.
Because we simply can’t risk losing in November 2020.

So, please Biden’s staff, do everything you can to protect and help your nominee.
Don’t give the gop any more ammunition to tear him down.
The ONLY way Trump beats him is if they can paint Biden as mentally deficient even more so than Trump is.

Women please save us from the WOME's.

A wome is a
White
Old
Male
Evangelical

These horribly sexist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic hypocrites and their corporate overlords have controlled our political process for far too long.
I believe that only women can save us from them.
Women must choose our leaders wisely by supporting and running for office everywhere.
As a male, I just have decided that I can not trust a WOME to ever do the right thing.

Now, there are a lot of good men that are not WOME’s, of course. And like I’m doing here, those men must call out the WOME’s every time they pull any of their shit.
Here’s to a WOME free world one day.
