Back to "democrat hopefuls"...

Obama and Soros has determined who should be running for '20 leftists hopeful for POTUS.

If Sanders gets nominated to be on the stage with Trump, the leftists will be held accountable for many elections to come, they will be seen as a party of absolute Socialism/Communism.

Biden on the other hand is intended to be a likable moderate....who will be handle like a puppet just like Ms.Cortez is (who still needs a good asshole tongue fucking).

Biden will be taken out of office by the invoking the 25th....Obama will be ruling this Nation again....

Mark my words mother fuckers.

 

Reading some of the opinions of feriners, I'm glad only Americans have a legitimate opinion....MAGA!

 

Bye bye Bloomie! At times, he's been a Democrat, a Republican and an Independent. Throwing away all that money on an arrogant vanity play shows that he's truly a Democrat.

So his campaign workers need to find a new gig - especially these two fellas:

 

The AP is reporting that Warren has left the race...finally!

https://apnews.com/7b475643fb3faf2ab543b68da8743308

 

I heard that about Liz - no word on where she's throwing her support - at least I haven't heard anything

 

It sounds like Liz is trolling both camps. Likely not quite sure how to capitalize. She’s in a weaker position than Hilary from 4 years ago. Much less support that she can use for bargaining.

 

In a debate with Trump I'd rather have Sanders debate Trump than Biden, but that would never happen there is no way Trump would get on a stage with the bulldog. He probably will debate Biden.

 

Warren drops out​

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is dropping out of the 2020 presidential race after a disappointing Super Tuesday in which she failed to win even her home state -- a move that could boost Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign by making him the lone progressive standard-bearer in the Democratic field.

The decision, confirmed by Fox News, essentially leaves the race as a one-on-one battle between Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden, who is surging after claiming a stunning 10 victories on Super Tuesday. Warren announced the decision in a late-morning all staff call.

Warren's move, first reported by The New York Times, comes after a disappointing performance on the biggest day of primary voting. Moderate candidates Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar dropped out in the days before, boosting Biden to a delegate lead and essentially co-frontrunner status with Sanders. Billionaire Mike Bloomberg, another moderate, dropped out of the race on Wednesday and endorsed Biden.

Pressure from the left swiftly grew on Warren to drop out, in order to help Sanders consolidate progressive support.

The Warren campaign shared a message with supporters on Wednesday that indicated she might be considering leaving the race.

"Last night, we fell well short of our viability goals and projections, and we are disappointed in the results," wrote campaign manager Roger Lau. "All of us have worked for Elizabeth long enough to know that she isn’t a lifetime politician and doesn’t think like one. She’s going to take time right now to think through the right way to continue this fight. There’s a lot at stake for this country and the millions of people who are falling further and further behind.
We wanted to share a message from campaign manager @RogerLau about our path forward. https://medium.com/@teamwarren/next-steps-bfa8482e2fbc …
"This decision is in her hands, and it’s important that she has the time and space to consider what comes next," Lau continued.

Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard remains in the race, but has performed poorly in the primaries.

The Massachusetts senator had earned 65 delegates to the Democratic National Convention as of Thursday morning -- far fewer than either Biden or Sanders who each had over 500 delegates after their Super Tuesday showings.

Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren, who was going nowhere except into Mini Mike’s head, just dropped out of the Democrat Primary...THREE DAYS TOO LATE. She cost Crazy Bernie, at least, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Texas. Probably cost him the nomination! Came in third in Mass.

President Trump commented on Warren's post-Super Tuesday exit from the Democratic primary race, speculating that because she apparently split the progressive vote with Sanders on the biggest day of the primary campaign that she may eventually cost the democratic socialist senator the nomination to Biden.

"Elizabeth 'Pocahontas' Warren, who was going nowhere except into Mini Mike’s head, just dropped out of the Democrat Primary...THREE DAYS TOO LATE," Trump tweeted. "She cost Crazy Bernie, at least, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Texas. Probably cost him the nomination! Came in third in Mass."

Warren arrived home in Massachusetts late Tuesday night – after not only failing to win a single state on a night when one-third of all the Democratic presidential convention delegates were up for grabs, but placing a devastating third in her home state of Massachusetts.

Warren hasn't endorsed Sanders or Biden, but she has talked to both campaigns and is assessing who would best uphold her agenda, the Associated Press reported, according to a person who requested anonymity to discuss private conversations.

The progressive lawmaker – a co-front-runner with Biden for the nomination late last summer and early autumn – saw her fortunes wane after intense scrutiny from the media and incoming fire at the debates from her rivals over her record and her explanations on how she would implement and pay for her proposals for a government-run single-payer "Medicare-for-all" health care system.

Her downward spiral intensified the past three weeks after a very disappointing fourth-place finish in neighboring New Hampshire, followed by distant finishes in Nevada’s caucuses and Saturday’s primary in South Carolina.

 

Joe Biden confronted by veteran over Iraq War support: 'Blood is on your hands!'
By Julia Musto | Fox News


Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden is taking heat on Twitter after a video of a confrontation between him and a veteran during a campaign stopover in Oakland, Calif., went viral.

Biden had just spoken to a crowd at the Buttercup Diner when Air Force veteran Michael Thurman confronted the former vice president. Raising his voice above the crowd, Thurman claimed that Biden had "blood on his hands" for his support of the war in Iraq.

"Why should we vote for someone who voted for a war that killed thousands of our brothers and sisters and countless Iraqi civilians?" he asked. "You enabled that war. You also gave a medal to the man who caused that war. That blood is on your hands as well."

Thurman was referring to a 2018 Veterans Day ceremony when Biden presented former President George W. Bush with the Liberty Medal for his "support for veterans." Video of the exchange was posted by a group called About Face: Veterans Against the War.

During his campaign, Biden has promised to the American electorate, once more, to end "forever wars" — a notable hallmark of President Trump's 2016 campaign. However, progressive critics of the 76-year-old candidate cast Biden as someone who enabled a more hawkish foreign policy establishment.

Biden's support for the 2003 invasion of Iraq under Bush's administration hampered his brief 2007 presidential campaign. More than 4,500 Americans and over 200,000 Iraqi citizens have died in the Iraq war since March 2003.

Biden, the Super Tuesday victor, responded to Thurman's accusations by referencing his son, Beau, who was deployed to Iraq in 2008 and died of cancer in 2015, saying: "It matters a lot to me."

Thurman affirmed to Biden that he was not going after his son, at which point Biden turned and was escorted away.

"You are disqualified, sir!" Thurman repeatedly yelled. "My friends are dead."

"My brothers and sisters died in Iraq and Afghanistan,” he continued to shout.

"They are dead. Millions are dead in Iraq! He will not be allowed to be President! Trump is more anti-war than Joe Biden!" Thurman exclaimed.

Video
In total, Bush’s post-9/11 wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and intervention in Pakistan have resulted in the deaths of between 480,000 and 507,000 people — including nearly 7,000 American soldiers who had deployed to the regions.



Additionally, Pew Research Center surveys show huge opposition among American veterans for endless wars in the Middle East.

Sixty-four percent of vets say the Iraq War is “not worth fighting,” along with 62 percent of all American adults who agree. Only 33 percent of veterans say the Iraq War is worth fighting. Likewise, nearly 60 percent of veterans and all American adults say the Afghanistan War was not worth the fight. Less than 40 percent say the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan was worth fighting.

 

Lawmakers try to alter voter-approved redistricting reforms

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — With the census approaching, lawmakers in some states are attempting to alter recent voter-approved measures that were intended to reduce partisan gamesmanship when drawing new voting districts for the U.S. House and state legislatures.

In Missouri and Utah, Republican-led legislatures have advanced proposals to unravel key provisions in redistricting initiatives passed in 2018 before they can be used to draw new legislative maps next year. The Republican Party in Michigan is suing to strike down new prohibitions on politicians’ involvement in redistricting.

It’s not just Republicans who are questioning redistricting reforms. In Virginia, new Democratic majorities in the General Assembly have delayed action for months on a proposal to shift redistricting power from lawmakers to a new bipartisan commission. The plan won strong initial bipartisan approval last year, when Republicans narrowly controlled both chambers. The House has until Saturday, when its session ends, to take the final vote necessary to put the idea to the November ballot.

Advocates for redistricting reform say there is a common theme in the political pushback.

“I think it comes down to people wanting to hold on to power,” said Celina Stewart, senior director of advocacy and litigation at the League of Women Voters, which has backed redistricting overhauls in states across the U.S.

The 2020 census aims to count everyone living in the U.S. as of April 1. Those totals — broken down by counties, cities and specific addresses — will be provided to states in 2021 to use in drawing new boundaries for voting districts that could influence the balance of political power in Congress and state legislatures for the next decade.

In many states, lawmakers and governors will shape the new districts. After Republicans scored big statehouse victories in the 2010 elections, they used their enhanced power in 2011 to draw districts to their advantage in some states. Democrats have historically done the same where they were in control.

Through gerrymandering, the majority party typically spreads voters of the opposing party across multiple districts, diluting their influence, or packs them into only a few districts. Both strategies essentially ensure the majority party's grip on power.

Who draws maps can make a big difference in who wins elections. In Pennsylvania, for example, congressional districts drawn by Republicans in 2011 resulted in the GOP winning 13 of the state's 18 U.S. House seats, even though votes for statewide offices were about evenly split between Democrats and Republicans. After the Democrat-tilted state Supreme Court redrew the maps for the 2018 elections, each party won nine seats.

In recent years, more states have adopted redistricting reforms intended to diminish the potential for partisan gerrymandering. Voters in 2018 approved such measures in Colorado, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Utah. Activist groups are pursuing similar measures for the 2020 ballot in Arkansas, Nevada, Oklahoma and Oregon.

Some lawmakers and party officials contend the voter-approved measures have not been well-crafted, pointing to alleged constitutional violations and unintended consequences.

Rather than preventing gerrymandering, Missouri's voter-approved measure actually “compounds gerrymandering in an exponential fashion,” said Republican state Sen. Dan Hegeman, who is sponsoring a proposed constitutional amendment to revise the measure.

Hegeman's legislation would ask voters this November to repeal the 2018 measure's creation of a “nonpartisan demographer” who would craft state House and Senate maps to achieve “partisan fairness” and “competitiveness" as determined by a specific mathematical formula. An Associated Press analysis shows the formula would likely lead to Democratic gains in the Legislature while dropping Republican majorities closer to the more even partisan division often reflected in statewide races.

Republicans contend the formula could result in long, snaking districts stretching from cities to rural areas to try to merge Democratic and Republican voters into competitive districts that may divide traditional communities of interest.

The Missouri legislation, which is pending in the Republican-led House, would leave the map-making to a pair of existing bipartisan commissions and drop the criteria for politically fair and competitive districts to the bottom of the priority list. It would combine those revisions with new limits on lobbyist gifts and campaign contributions — using the same tactic to appeal to voters as the sponsors of the original Clean Missouri initiative did in 2018.

“It's infuriating that politicians are trying to undo the will of voters like this,” Sean Nicholson, campaign director for Clean Missouri, said in a recent fundraising email to supporters.

In Utah, supporters of the Better Boundaries initiative that won narrow approval in 2018 have agreed to a compromise with lawmakers to revise the original measure.

The new plan, which passed the Senate on Tuesday, would drop a requirement that the Legislature take an up-or-down vote on the redistricting maps developed by a new bipartisan commission and provide a formal explanation if it chooses not to adopt them. Lawmakers contended that would infringe on their constitutional powers.

The new legislation would also repeal a requirement to use a statistical “partisan symmetry” test to ensure districts do not unduly favor any political party, instead directing the advisory commission to develop its own standards against political favoritism. The House has until its March 12 adjournment to pass the plan.

Republican Sen. Curt Bramble, who is sponsoring the revision, said the directive for partisan symmetry was unclear and subjective.

“We have maintained the core of the initiative — the independent redistricting committee, the funding of it — but we have removed those areas that have been problematic," Bramble said.

Rebecca Chavez-Houck, a former Democratic state House member who is executive director of Utah's Better Boundaries, said the group agreed to the legislative changes to avoid the potential for the measure to be completely repealed or drastically weakened.

But the left-leaning nonprofit Alliance for a Better Utah remains skeptical of the deal.

“The question for the Utah public is, does this give us more transparency and accountability than Prop. 4 did, or less? The answer is obviously less,” said alliance Policy Director Lauren Simpson, referring to the law by its name on the 2018 ballot, Proposition 4.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that some kind of drugs are involved in those instances where Joe seems lucid. I'm not up on pharmacology, so maybe it's just an errant musing. Are there drugs that can make the incoherent temporarily coherent?

The people propping up Joe are guilty of elder abuse, even if there are no drugs involved.

 

Hopefuls, an appropriate word, considering its come down to "Sleepy Joe" who doesn't know what State he is in, offends his own supporters, and somehow believes he got arrested in South Africa ? WTF? Its obvious who the Dem party have chosen to fall on his sword, not beat Trump!

 

good bye Mother-in-law

 

Tulsi...Joe...Bernie.

Obama and Soros has decided that the threats are no longer an issue.

 

'They're a Little Outnumbered': Sanders Reacts After Nazi Flag Unfurled at Phoenix Rally


'They're a Little Outnumbered': Sanders Reacts After Nazi Flag Unfurled at Phoenix Rally





A Nazi flag was unfurled from an upper tier of the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, Arizona, on the evening of March 5 as Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, who would be the first Jewish presidential nominee, took the stage.

Sanders was a few words into his speech when members of the crowd began booing and jeering and gesturing towards a section of the arena to his right. Footage shared on Snapchat shows that a person in a light-colored t-shirt had started waving the flag in an upper section.

It’s not clear if Sanders saw the flag. That same footage shows that the flag was wrestled away from the man seconds before Sanders turned his attention to the commotion.

After a few moments, Sanders turned back to the podium smiling, and said, “Whoever it was, I think they’re a little outnumbered tonight,” prompting cheers from the crowd. “And more importantly they’re going to be outnumbered in November,” he continued. Credit: Bernie Sanders Campaign via Storyful


Wait does this also fit into the same idea as a right wing idea of a threat?
