Wear your nose plugs. The stench of all that talking out of their asses from both parties will be toxic.

Trump is going to have field day with who ever takes the stage in the debates.

I can tell you Trump will not participate in a debate if it is conducted by CNN and other new outlets that have been less than favorable to his running of the country. Now that Trump is in the driver's seat and has a grasp on the inner running of the government the debate will be very one sided.

It happens I shake my head.

Bernie and Co does not have to convince their voters, ´cause they have already or will put their vote on of the Dem's candidate.

Their job is to convince the Rep voters, that the Dem's candidate is much better.

Then the questions is:

If they pick Bernie as their candidate-how successful will he be, trying to convince voters on the other side ?

If my memory does not foul me,
Trump won the Midwest-Can Bernie convince the Rep. voters in those states ?

Bernie has a problem and Bernie has created a problem.

Bernie's problem is that almost all of his policy proposals are the exact opposite of Trump's. Sanders is on record saying he will increase taxes to pay for his 'democratic socialist' agenda. That alone is a no brainer bad move.

But Bernie has also created a problem. If Sanders gets the nomination how many people who would have voted for a moderate Dem candidate will not vote for him? And if he doesn't get the nomination how many 'Bernie bros' will stay home or vote for a third party candidate.

For Trump, Bernie is the gift that keeps on giving.

Ok Dems, if I vote for Trumpo, you only have yourself to blame

fter more than a year campaigning and holding more than 130 events in the Granite state alone, Gabbard is currently at 3.3% in the polls. She held 70 events in Iowa, an effort that won her the votes of 342 people on caucus night.

“As president I will have your back,” she told a crowd in Rochester this weekend. “I promise I will treat every American with respect.”

In all likelihood, Gabbard will not get the opportunity to prove that. The Democratic contest has not been kind to the long-shot candidates so far. The businessman and former congressman John Delaney, after spending two and a half years and more than $25m campaigning, dropped out days before the Iowa caucus.

Biden is toast. They're comparing him to Abe Simpson.

He is low on money, and the crush of ad spending by Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer in critical states means that he can barely afford to compete in key markets. His events seem exhausted and strained, his voice quavering between a harsh staccato and a whisper. Democratic nomination battles tend to favor the new and inspiring instead of the old and tested. Barack Obama, Clinton and JFK all exploited this — and Biden has not been new and inspiring for nearly 30 years.
His age shows in his meandering style and his culturally odd references, such as calling a polite young female college student this week a “lying dog-faced pony soldier.” Some writers compare Biden’s stream-of-unconsciousness reminiscences on good times and bad to “onion belt” stories — a reference to old Grampa Abe Simpson’s meandering, pointless stories, featuring the immortal line: “So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.”

that made my day

Has it settled in yet that if Biden is not the Democrats choice to run against President Trump ...

That only leaves Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Bloomberg or the other two ladies running for office?

Chose one go ahead I dare you to chose one that can beat Trump

A socialist running on a socialist agenda

A Mayor that has no experience in solving big problems admitting that he is gay

A rich billionaire that hates President Trump running on the "I hate Trump ticket"

and two ladies that can't win the nomination due to the fact that they are ladies

Has it settled in yet that the Democratic Party has a serious problem wasting time and money to defeat President Trump?

Yep, i do not understand either why time and money should be necessary when common sense would do.

Yes common sense. That seems to be lacking in the Democrat party. These people had three years to find a candidate for President who one, would be a good president and two, that could beat Trump in November. They appear to be failing on both counts.

Or maybe they could be thinking

"The news says it...no one likes Trump...it doesn't matter who we put forward as our candidate we will win..peace of cake"

Peace - a state or period in which there is no war or a war has ended.
I doubt that will happen with the Dems anytime soon!

Seeing as a new investigation is starting!

I think Bloomberg has a real shot, if he gets one on one with Trumpy. He's not afraid to fire back, and he's a real billionaire who has actually done things in the business world, whereas Trump is a
low rent con artist by comparison. Bloomberg has to overcome the smears that he was too tough on minorities when they were trying to reel in crime. I don't have any problem with his stop and frisk tactics, but in these SJW days it is a problem.
