Pocahontas officially announced she will be running for President in 2020

Will a single fuck be given though ? I don’t see her posing much of a threat to, well, anybody

She’s running as a spoiler candidate to split the vote away from Sanders. That’s why she’s been meeting with Wall St execs and DNC party bosses all month. Strategy planning. She’ll likely drop out before the primary is over and passionately endorse the biggest corporate whore on the ticket.

Trump is getting free press because thats exactly what the GOP intended by pushing him to the front, getting a disposable onion candidate to soak up all the media scrutiny and paint a bullseye on his back while the real candidate(s) sit tight until later into the election season when anyone will actually care what they say. Candidates have nothing to gain by being in the media this early, but the media want to devour someone, so they put up a lightning rod and have their puppet intentionally act a fool so the rest of them are unscathed

They did the exact same thing with Herman Cain. Trump isn't a fringe candidate, he's a stooge, and he's doing his job excellently.

Trump finished the year with his 41st Fox interview of the year as president. Making America Great Again!

He was wrong but not wrong. His presidency has, to date, been "a disposable onion (presidency) to soak up all the media scrutiny and paint a bullseye on his back while the real..." politicians like McConnell implement Republican policy at an accelerated rate (https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevedenning/2018/09/08/how-the-republican-party-uses-donald-trump/#528bdbdd6c69).

Interesting to me that you made that particular comparison though because... Trump won. You scurred?

Nah, I'm not scared of Pocahontas. First, because she doesnt stand a chance in the primaries. And second because I think that most Democratic 2020 hopefuls would make for worse presidents than her. Booker, Harris and Gillibrand, in particular, would be far worse.
But I think it will come down to Beto vs Harris in the end, with Harris going all in on the identity politics train.

About the Trump presidency: he didnt run as a completely new brand of Republican in 2016, him breaking with the previous agenda was mostly limited to immigration and free trade, and imho those were the two issues that won him the presidency. You can perhaps add foreign policy to the list.
Anyway, on these issues, on his signature issues, he did break with congressional Republicans like Ryan or McConnell.

Trump's true problem is that his legislative achievement list is very short, and its biggest item was a political dud. The tax cuts are only mildly popular with the public, if even that, but were a heartfelt wish of the donor class. Since his quest to reshape the nation's trade relationships with China and Europe as well as its immigration policies are both still ongoing, while he was always aligned with the republican mainstream on social issues like abortion or the conservative legal movement, he does look more like a corporate puppet at this specific moment in time than he deserves.

At the end of the day, I neither believe that the Trump presidency was a premeditated masterplan by corporate America, nor that Warren's candidacy is a deliberate effort to split the Sanders vote.

Warren is a narcissist first and foremost. Just listen to any of her harvard speeches for the hubris. Shes proven she isnt clever politically in the past few months either. Im betting she’ll try throw a wrench in the establishment’s plan (for beto or biden).
