Democratic Primaries 2020 - Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Interesting to see Bernie clean up his appearance from his usual scuffled hair lately. He also looks to have shed a few pounds, but I imagine that’s as much self care post heart attack as it is strategy for his last shot at POTUS/democracy.

Lol yeah. There’s been a clear effort to tone down the nutty professor look

Of course it does. Aligning with Sanders would be like supporting Kaepernick then announcing candidacy for NFL Commissioner.

I wonder if for a while it was deliberate. Like Boris Johnson, who will scuffle his hair before going in front of a crowd and will then speak like a buffoon as part of an act*.

*note that this says nothing about whether Boris is a buffoon anyway

What would be your thoughts in her position if weighing 2020 against possibly running again in 2024?

2024 Hillary vs. AOC - will they ratfuck AOC or not? Should be exciting!

without any caucuses, she can’t win then either she wont’ have the votes (I’d guess Pete instead of hillary). She’s better than bernie though.

I see nate silver trashing prediction markets when he has dems abroad 50/50 where bernie is like 98.

So the thing people had no clue about was Girls Just Wanna Have Fun? That’s the big reveal? Gotcha. Thanks for another smooth brain contribution.

Did you expect me to be a bubbling well of optimism?

No srsly Iron81, I’d pay you actual money to detail your thought process behind thinking that was a clever counterpoint then posting it.

He almost certainly had Alzheimer’s in office merely given when he was diagnosed, but I don’t think he showed crystal clear signs of dementia while holding the presidency. I guess that is debatable, but the difference between Joe 2016 and Joe 30330 is both sad and very obvious to anyone not lying to themselves or trying to keep the gravy train on the tracks.

I meant disappointing that you didn’t adamantly insist she should Do The Right Thing regardless.

Literally the biggest difference is Liz did it as a comedy bit while AOC did it to troll Republicans.

Also, making sure this made it into this thread:

I’d tell you that you missed the point entirely but you already know that :wink:
