The 2020 thread....

[hutch]

It will consolidate


Bernie is actually losing to Pete in terms of delegates...they each have 20 or so....need like 2000


I think that tells you how early it iS


Yesterday’s results to me demonstrate democrats don’t want Bernie...he may do ok in Nevada though...

[Bagley]

Of all the candidates, I'd love to see Pete debate Trump

[sweetcell]

frustrating that these two insignificant states get so much hype, create "momentum", that sets the course for the rest of the primary.  as some talking head pointed out yesterday, if california or texas were the first state then mayor pete would be back at the bottom of the pack.

We need a one day primary end of story

No other country has this clown show


It’s ridiculous


With97% of vote in Bernie up 1.26%

Weak sauce

But why give California first crack at it? They're going to go blue in the general no matter who the Dems put up. Why not give added importance to the states who are going to actually determine the outcome of the general election?

I am certainly opposed to the current set up...it's also decentralized so its a clusterfuck all around

I do think that maybe doing it over four dates and each time zone votes at the same time might be a good way to do it
I also think it should be ranked choice, can you imagine what would have happened in NH if we knew who peoples 2nd choice was
for all we know Biden might have won

Ranked choice makes sure the candidate that most people want get's the nom

iowa and NH are going to determine the election either.

also, your argument doesn't hold for texas. 

but fine - penssylvania.  florida (*shudder*).  michigan.  you know, a state with a representative population, makeup, and degree of urbanization.

I said this earlier...
If the dems actually want to win...should just be in the battle ground states
WI, MI, PA, FL, MN, NC, AZ
could add NV, VA ME, GA and NE for full coverage

If we get the person who can win in those state, then the election is almost a slam dunk

@NateSilver538
So apparently the candidate in 3rd place is a bigger story than the candidate in 2nd place, who in turn is a bigger story than the candidate in 1st place? OK.

Surely, Nate Silver is old enough to remember the "Comeback Kid" narrative that James Carville orchestrated for Bill Clinton to great success in 1992....

women should remember that in 2020 182 republicans voted against the ERA today


Let's see if this goes to Mitch's graveyard

[hutch]

Have they packed the Senate?

wish I knew,
Elizabeth warren did a town hall tonight at Wakefield High School...like three blocks from my house

[Space Freely]

I wonder if this was NKOTB's doing? My wife was going to go but came home and ate my tostadas instead.
