She would get dragged so hard for it and it’s the kind of thing that ill informed people will fall for big time. It’s pretty clear that VP picks hardly ever help the top of the ticket, but they can pull it down just enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's this notion that minorities are solely based on skin color and it reminds me too much of Resetera, where they want a woman or person of color and not a "crusty old white guy," forgetting that we haven't had a Jewish president or an openly LGBT president.

Not “paying your fair share of taxes” on a ticket of people who will likely be proponents of tax increases is such an easy weapon to wield that actually works with the public. I see people working minimum wage-ish jobs complaining about people being on the government dole, when undoubtedly they are getting back way more in EIC than they pay in any taxes on their income. That sort of stuff actually works. The “they will attack anyone” line does not understand what types of attacks work and why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 It's totally different than what happened to Daschle. It's not like she tried to get out of paying taxes. She was just in debt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly DON'T think that there was any anti-Bernie conspiracy at work here. I think the app was some combination of incompetence/grifting, and I think the order of the eventual results getting released this way has been coincidence. But if you were going into this inclined to believe that there would be a conspiracy against Bernie, and those people are many, then boy has there been a lot for you to work with. I still do wanna know how they spent a day and a half doing what they described as "quality control" of the results and then had a serious data entry error this afternoon that they had to go back and fix an hour later.

Guest Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 The SDE winner may come down to whether or not one satellite caucus ended up with over or equal/under 600 attendees. If it does, the SDE count doubles from around 5.5 to around 11. What an entirely stupid system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Bernie Sanders raises a staggering $25 million in January to fuel Super Tuesday push Quote Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign raked in a whopping $25 million in January alone and will use the haul to bankroll ads and staff across the critical Super Tuesday slate, it announced Thursday. The Vermont senator raised more in January than in any other month so far in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, his campaign said. It added that it received 1.3 million donations from roughly 650,000 people. The flood of cash came just before the start of 2020 primary nominating contests. Iowa held its first-in-the-nation caucuses Monday, while New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina will follow with primary events later this month. The delegate-rich Super Tuesday contests will take place on March 3. The Sanders campaign will put $5.5 million into television and digital ads in 10 states that hold primaries that day: California, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Utah.

CitizenVectron Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Everyone but Bernie is basically broke without big donors. So basically the only people left after Super Tuesday will be Bernie, Bloomberg, and the single other person who appears to have a chance against Bernie.
