JourneyMan Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Sanders is probably the only candidate who stands a realistic chance vs Trump. I'm curious to see who he picks as running mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible, dignified, understated, has middle-of-the-road pragmatic policies, has science-based views on things I know a little about (food and ag policy), accomplished Senator. A boring policy-nerd most of the time, but has been abrasive when necessary in the debates. Steady, pragmatic, scientific approach is what the nation needs. We can do with less rhetoric, more unity. Glad to see her hanging on. Edited February 15, 2020 by Param Mastishk Pheeka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the economy stays strong with a surging stock market and low unemployment, no one will be able to displace Trump. If Congress could not impeach him, what’s a few Democratic candidates? As much I despise him (certainly not vote for him), I have to give him props for creating an atmosphere of fear among Republican politicians and a rabid fan base. However, of all the candidates, Bernie will give him the most competition since he is also running on a populist platform and has a rabid fan base.

Glad to see her hanging on. You don’t understand that the Democratic Party is at a cross-roads. The progressive wing won’t let centrist candidates on the ballot and if they are nominated, they will just stay at home or even worse, they will vote for trump to spite the democratic establishment.

Very true. And then the Dems wonder why they are in such disarray. Unfortunately there is no room for moderation on either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanders is running for universal healthcare, cancellation of student loans, establishing a minimum wage and introducing a wealth tax. Buttigieg stands for none of these. He is a centrist while Sanders is staunchly to the left and therefore even further away from Buttigieg than the average Republican.
