I don't like Abram's snooty little superior attitude. The dems have a messy campaign going on with lots and lots of candidates running or having run and already defeated. What is she doing to advance the cause and help out? Nothing, not getting her hands dirty anywhere by actually helping a candidate. Instead, she acts like she is some kind of prize up on Mount Olympus, that the lucky candidate can win- as either a VP candidate or just getting her support. She is a lazy grifter. Not sure what she has ever done anyway. Go out on the hunt, take some risks, help someone out who may possbly lose but at least you got involved instead of acting like your shiite doesnt stink but everyone elses does. She feeds into the Dem Plantation owner model of how a black person should be: You take them down off the shelf at election time and then put them back up there after the election when whitey doesn't need you anymore. Do some work for gawd's sake. We get the fact that you are a black. That is not enough. Get a job. And I dont mean that grifter organization you run.
The 2020 candidate needs the same thing to win that the 2012 , 2016,2018,Doug Jones,Jon Bel Edwards etc needed,high black voter turnout.Blacks hatred of Trump has brought them to the polls in record numbers the last 2 years but I think they expect a black person on the ticket in 2020 and will be highly disappointed if there isnt one.
I see what you're saying Ocho... but the powers that be in the Dem party know (they have to) that if they want to have a chance at winning, they'll have to excite the AA sector the same way Obama did. Hating Trump as someone pointed out... I don't think that will be enough. It might be though. That hate runs pretty deep and as I've said before, when Bloomy, Yang, and Steyer throw all that money in the pot... we are going to have a non-stop barrage of the nastiest (and well done) anti-Trump television commercials you have ever seen on every damn channel 24/7 for at least 6 weeks going into November. Will that matter? I dunno. Maybe. Ads work.
I hear ya, and it will be interesting. But the other side of the argument about the non-stop ads, is that Trumps entire campaign from 2016 and his entire presidency have already been non-stop negative "news" from the media 24/7/365. We are pretty well beginning to max out on whatever impact negative messaging from the lefties is going to have- arguably anyway. Several more ads a day saying "Trump is Adolph Hitler's illegitimate son, your dick is going to fall off, and life on this planet as we know it is going to end. I am Michael Bloomberg and I paid for this message" might not move the needle as much as some think. It works for a while. You know for example, if ads started running bigtime saying that Bernie Sanders is a dickhead who hates women or something, then that would be a new development in the primary and could make a difference. But Trump has been on the receiving end of about all the negative news that voters can absorb for years. It has ever been thus. Videos released showing Trump talking about grabbing pussies. He is dead in the water. Trump disses John McCain for being captured. He is ultra-dead in the water. Trump says Carli Fiorina is ugly, He is dead. Trump says Ted Cruz's wife is a bowser. He is even deader. Never survive. Except..... The dems would be far better off to just get a good candidate. But they can't find one. It will in fact take a billion dollars worth of advertising to put lipstick on their pig in the end. Maybe a billion can do it. But I would budget for two.
This is all the advertising Tump needs in key States. As I said in 2016, HRC spent all her time talking about how bad Trump is and no issues and Trump spent all his time checking the boxes on issues that were easy to rile up the sheeple....election won. Dems following same.model so far...
Hm, Reality: - same deals, times spent was a waste - economy was growing under Obama, and would do the same under Clinton while deficits were being reduced. Come Trump deficits double during economic expansion - our military was fantastic when Trump took office, and still is - Obama killed terrorist, and so would Hillary - If building 1 mile is finishing it, then sure. Obama build more quietly, without making a big deal out of it. - Both parties try to end human trafficking - how is Trump fighting opioid crisis? - Trump own voter fraud commission dissolved after non were found, even though Trump was yelling non stop about millions of illegal votes - He meant putting Trump's interest first Yeah, we are running against BS artist who currently occupies WH.
