Who will run in 2020?

Weird pricing on Predictit when you can buy all 7 candidates on the December debate stage for 95. Current top 4 can be bought for 80.

In modern history has a candidate ever won when left out of a debate like this?

Hillary is at 0.10, Predictit is full of lols.

What do you think her odds should be if she was 100% to enter the race?

Feels like she splits votes with Biden

Warren gonna go hard after Biden/Buttigieg/Bloomberg, but not Bernie.

Missing from her remarks was Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, the race’s other ardent progressive. Mr. Sanders has leapfrogged Ms. Warren in some national polls in recent months and secured big endorsements from national grass-roots groups, but Ms. Warren is yet to invoke him directly.

Going after Bernie has nothing but negatives for Warren.

She is obviously part of the media blackout conspiracy against Bernie.

I liked this post and laughed a little but we both know that if Warren took a shot at Bernie the media would cover the shit out of it in some way that put them both in the worst possible light.

In my limited experience of watching The Bern he does not attack people but attacks their ideas. And even then its limited to when he has to defend himself or a lie.

I don’t expect to much attacking from The Bern as its not his style… He has twitter experts for that + more. :eyes:

This should be a good thread to follow, Bernie’s speechwriter is requesting all examples of the media ā€˜forgetting’ to include him in graphics, etc.

I don’t get why you’re all upset the media ignores Bernie, that’s significantly better than him surging and getting warren’d out of it when she briefly appeared to have caught Biden and now Pete when he briefly appeared to be leading in IA/NH (though he still might anyway). You should be praying every day they ignore him.

That’s quite some graph. It should be plastered everywhere in the US.

…and oh, yeah. GOPete can get fucked; he’s going hard on continuing that for americans. He should primary Trump instead of trying to run as a Democrat.

Idk, Bernie’s support doesn’t seem as volatile as other candidates. I suspect supporting Bernie is quite a bit stickier because you have to dive into the policies he’s proposing to get it. More mainstream coverage of his candidacy would lead more people to him, and I doubt they’d fall off for the next cool candidate once they realize the gap in policy between him and the rest of the field.

Yea, the fact that we really just do pay twice as much as other countries for healthcare is insane, even people who have good insurance that’s 100% paid for by their employer should be paying attention to that fact.

I think Bernie’s floor is solid - he is who he is (in a genuine way) so I don’t think there are any surprises that would erode his support. But I don’t think his upside is enough to get him the nomination. We’ll see.

The Dem Party is going to pull out all the stops to stop Bernie if at all possible. Obama didn’t muse about speaking up to stop anyone else, not Liz, and it’s got nothing to do with Citizen’s United or the War in Iraq or single payer or anything at all other than Bernie not being a party member. Just like the Dems on the city council in Burlington, they’d rather have a Republican than an independent.
