What is all this crap about a brokered Democrat convention?

Discussion in 'Politics' started by wildchild, Mar 3, 2020.

  1. Where "straightening out the dem primary" is defined as "Biden getting the nomination."

    It's like straightening out those deck chairs on the Titanic so that you can organized for "the big event."

  2. I suppose I might even see a Biden bumper sticker at some point. I have not seen one yet and I am in a plenty lefty state.

    I doubt it though. The general attitude among dems now is "I guess Biden is going to be the nominee and we will have an election in November.

    womp...womp....womp.

  3. Swap out Biden for Trump and you can see why this is not really an issue...

    Trump is Trump's worse enemy...
    HRC will just pace Trump waiting for self-destruct moment
    Straightening out the GOP primary is Trump getting the nomination??


    See, it is the same path as in 2016 so what 2016 proved is that all of that does not matter.....

    Biden is not doing anything different than Trump in 201 with gaffes, overspeaking and pandering.

  5. Yeh, I dunno. That case can be made and also its opposite.

    I go with the opposite. Trump and Biden are perceived very differently.

    Trump is perceived as having boundless energy, being up on his feet, and because he running full speed and his cup runneth over it often runneth over into things that he needs to walk back.
    But his base is absolutely not worried- at all- about his ability to step up to the issues and take action even if it is positions that people do not agree with.

    Biden is the opposite. His cup is not running over and he is not suffering from the excesses of a full-savage political presence. His gaffes come from being lost in space and forgetting what the hell he was outraged about when he started in on his rant. His base is very, very, very worried about him. Even if they voted for him they are doing Hail Mary's and sacrificing chickens every time they see him start to speak.

    And Trump had an enormous field and his own party against him in his primary, and he systematically took all of them down through hand-to-hand combat. In contrast, Joe had a field of duds who sort of fell apart and the DNC latched on to Joe and revved up the party machinery to prop him up as the designated dud.

    Don't let any of the dems fool ya. They are scared as hell about how Joe will hold up. They are figuring plans for how to manage Joe. They have bet on a very, very wobbly horse.

    I will give ya the part though about Trump being his own worst enemy but the etiology of it is vastly different from Biden's.

    Bernie Sanders should continue to get debates against Joe Biden but, Tulsi Gabbard has been excluded deliberately. Knowing the damage she inflicted on Kamala Harris, the Globalist Wing of the Democrat Party are fearful of Tulsi Gabbard going after Joe Biden in the debate.

  8. Possible but I wonder if in the new election paradigm Joe is now seen as more folksy and real and not a polished turd like the others on that stage.

    You’re not worried about him? I can see him getting the sympathy vote, he does make you feel sorry for him with his toughguy routine. Or Maybe democrats like a man who can call a girl a lying two faced pony soldier ( and this is their moderate, sensible candidate).

  10. Joe has always had the Ozzie and Harriet base among both whites and blacks.

    And benefited enormously- so did Bootyboy- from having Bernie in the race such that the mainstream media promoted Joe as a moderate. The Ozzie and Harriet base among both whites and blacks were/are casting about for a moderate in that crazy mix.

    Problem long term though, is that Joe Biden is not a moderate by any, any, any stretch of the imagination and once the Comrade is gone the republicans are going to move Joe over into that far left space which is entirely proper. The notion that either Biden or Booty are moderates is absurd. Just absurd. Frigging booty wants to give full reparations to illegals who were deported or denied entry at the border, seek them out and bring them back, and offer them full citizenship. Makes Obama look like William F. Buckley. Similarly, all of Biden's crazy shiite needs to be sifted through and re-examined now that the crowd is gone. That's another reason why they don't want the debates.
