They're boycotting AIPAC
where have I heard this before...

hopefully they stay out of DC for a while. they do more harm than good while they're there. they can take a permanent recess until the campaigns kick off for all we care

They are in full self-destruction mode. The rift within their caucus is already huge, and leadership will have a really hard time keeping it patched up going forward.

If the Democrats lose a significant portion of Jewish Americans, they are in for a world of trouble. And on top of that, a full-blown anti-semitism problem of their own would really weaken their xenophobia accusations against Trump.

no it wont. it should but it wont

The media's favorite socialist darling, AOC, has a net favorability rating of -13 in her own, deep blue D+22 home state:

Quote
“Ocasio-Cortez, with a negative 31-44 percent favorability rating, is as well known to statewide voters after three months in office as Gillibrand is after ten years as senator. While Democrats view Ocasio-Cortez favorably, independents view her unfavorably more than two-to-one and Republicans view her unfavorably, 68-6 percent. She is viewed slightly favorably in New York City but strongly unfavorably upstate and in the downstate suburbs.”

they still got knives out for amy klobuchar
every time I see an article like this printed, I revise my forecast for democratic ambitions in 2020 downwards

If Amy is successfully shanked that only leaves hickenlooper


Hickenlooper is a bit of a weirdo.

It'll be Kamala Harris. Why can't she beat Trump?

I see no real reason (yet) Harris can't or won't beat Trump

don't like her don't support her but in my view she has been and will be more of an actual threat than Trumpers and anti lefters think nationally

Sleeping her way to the top, admitting to smoking weed while incarcerating a large number of people for doing the same, and her incessant need to be the most progressive candidate (although this can be said about every sad democrat that's entered the ring) will be great material for the election. She doesn't have a chance - IMHO of course.

Joe Biden is the sleeping giant that's starting to stir. Sadly, it seems that the democrats only hope is an old white man.

The most flawed candidate in history got elected in 2016... so I don't know that normal rules apply. I think in the primary Warren and Sanders cancel each other out, and Kamala ends up battling Biden for the top spot.

The economy is doing great... but I don't know that Trump voters will have the same enthusiasm as they did in 2016. You can say keep American great, but it's not like life has changed significantly for all those voters in PA, MI, and WI. I think Kamala can win.

But I'm wrong about every prediction I make, so there's that.

The most flawed candidate in history is Hillary Clinton - my proof being that she LOST the election to Trump.

That being said - I agree with Trump has work to do in the key electoral states to win again. I think it'll boil down to the segment of voters who were so turned off by Trump/Clinton that they either stayed home and didn't vote, voted 3rd party, or begrudgingly picked a side like pulling a band aide of a hairy arm.

I think Joe Biden gives (D) the best hope to capture that group of people. He's a proven commodity with his track record with Obama. He'll get the Obama endorsement in the primaries if he pulls the trigger which will be the kiss of death to any other (D) candidate. I'd go so far as to say he'd be the slight favorite to beat trump heads up.

Radical Californian Dem who supports reparations is not going to do well in PA and WI.

You heard it here first.
