I just mentioned Sanders because the article listed him under the losers. I never expected him to win South Carolina. I would like to see him win the nomination because I truly believe that  medicare  and free college for illegals  will disqualify him on the national stage. Super Tuesday should be interesting. I don't think most voters can get past Elizabeth Warren's face and I don't see black people voting for a gay White man. Like Alec Baldwin said in Glengarry Glen Ross "you shit or you walk"

I agree. As someone who wants Trump to win and for the republicans to take back control of the House and to keep the Senate I wanted to see Biden have a comeback and not give the "moderate" lane solely to Bloomberg. As they split that vote that should help Sanders and I'm hoping Sanders as the democrat candidate will give us a Nixon and McGovern situation with a landslide victory for Trump and republicans...

I don't see it as a blow to Sanders. It is a real boost to sleepy Joe and it means that Bloomberg still has to contend with Biden for the "moderate" (I don't believe there are any moderate democrats in the race) votes. Splitting the democrat vote is what will help Sanders get the most votes.

I don't see why this is such a blow to the Sanders campaign. Folks it's still the South. Joe was projected to win and he did. But Bernie was still right on his ass.

Isn't that how Trump won the R debates in 2015 & 2016? Worked out very well for him it seems.

That being said, I don't think there's a chance a Dem wins in 2020.They appear too far away from the center (for me, anyway).

Actually I think he did what everybody is wanted to do. What I hear to politicians on opposite sides talking about his friends on the other side of the aisle what you really means to say is those fucking assholes.

Plus when you have six people in a debate all singing from the same hymnal and one guy squawking by himself he gets noticed and the other guys sort of melt into the mush.

Too many people that don't have a pot to piss in nor the energy to go up and get themselves one hate corporations.  That's Bernie's Base.

Influential House Democrat calls chaotic South Carolina debate a ‘disgrace’

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/influential-house-democrat-south-carolina-debate

Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan called the fiery debate in South Carolina overnight a "disgrace" and chided the Democratic candidates for trying to destroy each other rather than debate the issues.

“It was a disgrace," Dingell, who has deep ties in the Democratic Party and in swing-state Michigan, said Wednesday. "It was a circular firing squad. They're forgetting about what we need to be focused on.

"They're contributing to the fear and hatred in this country. I’m sure Russia and China were delighted at their performance."

Funnily enough, I think that Donald Trump Jr. would make a much better candidate and possible president than his father. From the long-form interviews I've heard him in, he seems much more amicable and less narcissistic than Trump Sr.

Yes I like the kid. If it wasn't for the big game hunting I would like him a lot more but...

You are exactly correct. Remember the John Oliver show where he literally begged Trump to run for president and said he would send him a check. Hohoho.

Sure Bernie could take it. I think his presidency would be a klusterfuk because the mainstream Democrats hate his guts in the first place and Republicans will hate his guts even worse.

On the other hand he might be this generation's George McGovern. And that would mean huge gains for the Republicans. And seriously if that happens I would be wishing that we had somebody in the white house with his shit together better the Donald Trump. Not that I hate him or anything but...

I think it would be real difficult for a socialist to win especially when the economy is going great but there is a lot of time between now and Nov for that to change.

The coronavirus could shake things up and maybe have the country into recession territory by Nov? And if the virus spreads and the dems are able to blame Trump for it who knows maybe Bernie will be seen as the new hope and change guy?

Many of the democrats who are opposed to Sanders right now are opposed  because they think he can't win in Nov and he might hurt the democrat candidates down ticket and not because he is a socialist. They will get behind him if he gets the nomination and I don't see a never Sanders movement happening by the democrats. We'll see.

I for one would not take for granted a Sanders candidacy as a loss in Nov even though I think the country as a whole does not support his socialism.

Also, I think it's naive of many conservatives to look at Bernie Sanders and simply rest on their laurels come November because they believe they have the election in the bag. Clinton did the same thing with Trump and look what happened.

I don't know how many of the members here plan to vote Democrat. I assume Tex and Tour, anyone else? JB? If so did anybody strike you as a viable candidate from last night's debate? Or if you are probably voting Republican which of that field would be the lesser of the evils? ...Gentlemen what are your thoughts? And can we try to refrain from just attacking each other?

WSS

It looks like I'm not voting for anyone for President this year, because all the Democrat candidates are shit. Probably won't vote for Trump either. Looks like I'll just be voting down ballot issues and candidates this year. 

No surprises but real clear politics is usually... Well you know. But it's not really their story
