    Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers IV: Culling the Herd

    Klobuchar plays up the "Awe Shucks" card very well. It has worked for years here in Minnesota despite her antics. (which I have seen first hand) Plus, for the most part, she is on point when it matters she just doesnt handle things well behind the scenes so it is often forgiven. She can also suck up to the media with the best of them.

    Sanders is grouchy even on friendly TV shows with hosts that love him.

      I think the Klobuchar thing was glossed over because she never has been a front runner. Who cares about someone that doesn’t poll above 3%?

        Years ago I worked in PA for the union I work for now. Bob Casey, current senior senator from PA, was running for PA Auditor General and wanted my union's support. He came to a meeting of the Union's Executive Board and was very impressive in front of those members, the ones elected by their co-workers to represent their interests. The Auditor General's office had a great deal of oversight of the nursing home industry in PA and the bulk of our members were in the nursing home industry. Casey was more supportive of unionized nursing home workers than any other politician I have been around, before or since, and generally had a great record when it came to organized labor. He told stories of how nursing home workers had cared for an elderly relative (his grandmother IIRC) as if they were part of her own family and recognized how hard they worked and for very little money. In short, there was no reason for our union to oppose him based on our members needs and his record as far as labor issues were concerned. But our union's staff leadership balked, because Casey, a devout and practicing Catholic, was not all the way over to the left shoulder about ready to fall off the cliff when it came to the abortion debate. Now mind you, he gets a passing grade from some abortion rights groups, supports over-the-counter sales of emergency contraception and opposed barring some federal grants to organizations that provide abortions. But because he personally felt that abortion was a bad CHOICE and would council people to make a DIFFERENT CHOICE, the leadership of my union questioned giving him our stamp of approval.

        The left don't know how to get out of their own way sometimes, and we all pay for it by seeing people like trump and W elected. There is not a democrat running, anywhere and for any office, who is not preferable to their republican counterpart now, next year or for the next generation most likely. Yet there will be untold 1000s of supporters of each of the 23 democratic candidates now seeking the nomination of their party for president who DIDN'T win stay home from the election in November of 2020, or like spoiled children, hold their breath and vote for some ridiculous third party candidate. And because of voter suppression, outright republican theft of votes and the divided nature of our electorate they may throw the election to trump all over again.

            Hopefully we'll see a lot of this. They got their 15 minutes and they get to keep whatever money their dopes invested in them. They can get a gig on CNN discussing the real candidates and do a lecture tour / book tour about it. Should be good to shuck the suckers of a couple mil.

              I think he is just the beginning. No one wanted to be first but now they will take the plunge cause it is less embarrassing. If he stays in the House of Reps even better.

                    I thought they all did that now. If you suspend your campaign you get to keep the money, if you end it you have to give what's left back (I thought).

                      Close. Putting a hold on campaign you can still fundraiser, ending it you cant.

                        Ah, I see. Either way you can steal what you've got but by suspending you can steal more. That's nice.

                          The Democrats need to take all the memos like this one that have probably been written to their party leaders over the years and make them mandatory reading, on a monthly basis, for the candidate and his or her closest advisors.
                          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                              Exactly, Schultz was so boring and terrible he couldn't even get the Russian botskis to shill for him like Gabbard and Yang have.

                              And thank you Swalwell for dropping out, I might think of you as a bit less of a jerk going forward. Hopefully this triggers more exits this week.
