Democratic Primary: Crisis of infinite candidates

[Eriol]

Here's a relatively right-wing Canadian view of the candidate field as of Saturday:

 

[Frank]

Jesus fucking Christ what a God damn moron. Don't take part in our neverending cycle of garbage war? THEN YER FOOKIN TAXED MAAAAYATE. Get back on the skateboard and think of something else you dipshit.

 

[Tress]

Well, “say stupid shit” IS a way to make yourself stand out in a crowded primary.

 

[PatrThom]

My wife's take on hearing about this: "Well, that's a novel way to go after the wealthy."

Yeah, but a fine on the wealthy is one they can easily pay, whereas the poor are left to have to send their children into further wars.

I like it from a perspective of "this will make war way more unpopular among the masses."

That being said, if we made health care available to everyone who needed it, we wouldn't need a VA anymore soooo....

 

[Ravenpoe]

I like it from a perspective of "this will make war way more unpopular among the masses."

Except the masses do not get a say in what wars are started. That's the politicians being paid by the defense contractors and weapon manufacturing lobbyists.

 

[blotsfan]

I guess it was a place of naïveté of assuming that people who are mad about a dumb war would vote accordingly.

The first debate is about to start. Remember: take a drink when Warren says she has a plan for that. One drink when you don't remember who this person is. Finish your drink when they ignore the question to slam dunk on Trump.

But I don't want to die.

About 30 minutes in and I'm ready for Thunderdome rules.

 

[phil]

Warren is at least wrapping it up when they call time. Granted shes got plenty of time otherwise but still, it's nice.

 

[phil]

On the one had I don't appreciate the interrupting but De Blasio knows he has to take his time since they won't give it to him

 

[phil]

Someone tell Chicago that if they take Whataburger they have to take Beto too.

 

[phil]

Tim Ryan looks like he wondered on stage by accident but I'm picking up what he's putting down.

 

[phil]

Moderator: how would you deal with Mitch McConnell?

Candidate: okay, so here's the thing about guns....

 

[phil]

Jay Inslee looks like a Frankenstein. Boom, roasted.

 

[phil]

Moderator : Congressman Delaney, we will get to you

Narrator: they would not

 

[phil]

Ok, livetweet mode over.

Initial post debate thought mode engage!

Julian Castro needs to be getting every minute of coverage that is being spent on Beto and Mayor Pete. He went wayyy up in my book after this.

Warren and Castro walked away from this looking good. A few others like Booker and Gabbard had moments. Everyone else can drop out now.

I'm planning on watching it tomorrow but I really like where this candidate is going.

Spoiler: it's like 3 of them in a row

Edit: oh I just got what you meant. Unfortunately no call to arms yet.


Yet

I wonder how many of the other group will show us their Spanish skills.

It might go something like this:

 

[Gruebeard]

Moderator : Congressman Delaney, we will get to you

Ron Howard: they would not

FTFY

 

[sixpackshaker]

Kamala Harris was acting in that debate the way I expected Hilary to handle Donald 3 years ago.

 

[phil]

Finally watching part 2: first blood

Joe Biden does not know who this mouthy broad is but he has half a mind to go have words with her husband.

 

[phil]

I can hear Chuck Todd dying on the inside.

 

[phil]

Sanders: that's a misrepresentation

Maddow: that's a direct quote

 

[DarkAudit]

Dear Bernie and Joe, It's not ageism. It's not discrimination. It's your generation has done enough damage, so get the fuck out of the way.

 

[phil]

If Eric swalwell and Biden just fistfight in the parking lot I'd be real happy

 

[Krisken]

Dear Bernie and Joe, It's not ageism. It's not discrimination. It's your generation has done enough damage, so get the fuck out of the way.

I don't know about damage. It's more "You had your time, please stop trying to direct and let those in a better position take charge and fix what you already know is broken."

 

[DarkAudit]

White guy boomers? I'll stick with damage. It's time to shove them off the stage if they won't go quietly.

What? I didn't say any of that? I didn't even say who I'm pulling for?

You were questioning my use of the term damage, yes? So I clarified.
