Democratic Primary

God forbid any viewpoint but Wall Street ever be reflected in the Presidency.

Listening to Buttchug last night - he sounded like Obama Lite. Talking about unity and inclusivity - even said that he knew it sounded naive. It does. Obama wanted that too but instead he got a brick wall of obstruction. We need a Dem that realizes that's what they're in for.

Obama was bad at politics and blew his load on things he shouldn't have. he was more of a vision guy. he needed better handlers.

buttigieg is going to be destroyed if he's the candidate. which is kinda fun because then 2020 will be both 1984 the book and 1984 the election all over again

sanders, as the candidate, will beat trump. i really don't like the guy's foreign policy but frankly, it's better than trump's so sacrifices must be made.

it'll still be a tough road to the election. i think last two standing will be sanders and klobuchar, and she's gonna get pushed by media/bankrollers

[Kane]

Klob and Chug are already pushed by media/bankrollers. And the financiers themselves are already voicing opposition to the bern.

[John Galt]

yes, i know. i think buttigieg will blow up and fail, leaving klobuchar as the last one standing to gather around for those people. which is why i think she has a good chance of the nomination.

the problem is the general. we're all agreed trump must go, and i think the best chance is sanders (i think sanders would win head to head) which is why i'm prepared to happily vote for a democratic socialist who i disagree with on a lot of things, simply because trump is that bad. while i'd vote for amy, it's not like it matters in minnesota as she'd carry that regardless, but she would have trouble head to head with trump. buttigieg, forget about it

But what about the $250 million wildcard that is Bloombergo?

Ralph Nader gets everything right at the beginning of this podcast.

lol 250 million. Bloomberg will spend 10 BILLION if that's what it takes. He is probably just as ashamed and disgusted by our government as the rest of us.
