Crushed, like the latest midterm election? (Dems won by 8%). Trump is flirting with 40% approval rating, with remarkably little upside. Don't pick Hillary, and it is very hard to lose (at this point).


40% is excellent... congress only 31% and that after a recent 10% jump.. so congress should STFU. I do agree Hillary is all bad at this point, but I'm not sure Pochantas or Harris can even win the DNC .

I'm pretty sure Pocahontas couldn't win. She died 402 years ago in England.

I couldn't read past the 1st paragraph. What was that?

Yup, you and efernand are bringing the finest in conservative talk here:

Standard approach - cull the entire internet for a particaulr opinion, and pounce on that one. I would suggest that you are a poor judge of how Dem candidates are viewed by Dems (along with Breitbart/Drudge et al.).

Uh, the original story, the one I posted was on CNN.

Do you really think the candidate will be one that CNN torpedoes?

Yup, so? Standard practice is to cull opinion pieces. CNN isn't as monolithic as you want to believe, and you can find a range of viewpoints (still skewing left). It is conservative media's job to elevate certain viewpoints for political reasons. If they can source it from "fake news" so much the better. Then it can be endlessly cross-posted by conservatives. The Democrats have so many plausible candidates and no clear front-runner, so we can look forward to 18 months of desperate "Whack-A-Mole" coverage of perhaps 100's of prominent Dems. See the Onion for a takedown of the approach:

My approach would be to run the primaries, pick the 12 strongest candidates, and pick one out a hat a week before the general election. Almost any candidate can beat Trump at this point. It will no doubt tighten as the year goes by....

CNN is going to torpedo Beto Rourke? And you know this because of a short opinion piece on a CNN internet page?


This biggest problem dittoheads have is that they think that the left think exactly like them, only for opposite candidates and topics. The right gives marching orders and delivers talking points. That's not how the left operates.

I will make my top 3(or last 3) prediction here and now, the 3 B's in no particular order.. Beto, Biden, and Bloomberg..They will survive the gauntlet to the last months, but which one wins, have to wait for awhile to see momentum, and who screws the pooch....
