BS was first. Now BdB becomes the 2nd candidate to compare a Dem rival to trump

[Cha]

Link to tweet

JHC.. Just leave the ******* trump comparisons on the cutting room floor.

[mcar]

1. This is not a good tactic

I hope I other candidate succumbs to this.

[W_HAMILTON]

4. I wondered why New Yorkers seemed to dislike this guy so much.

All it took was one debate and a few other instances like this tweet for me to see why.

[Me.]

12. Because

1. He's not doing a good job

2. He was away running for pres when we had a blackout

3 He's not doing a good job

4. He's siding with the police in the Garner case

5. And he's not doing a good job

[Cha]

61. No kidding.. I had heard from

NYC cyber friends how much they didn't like him so when he was among the most Unfavorable Dems running I already had a clue.

[Cha]

7. Right! It needs exposing for what

it is.

Thanks, mcar

[Me.]

2. Both Are Playing A Loser's Game

Need some antiperspirant for that smell of desperation fellas? Seriously, DeBlasio had no business entering the race, his people warned him. Indeed

[Cha]

9. This only helps

the Psycho, imo.

It certainly doesn't help those who use the trump comparison on rival Dem Candidates.

Thank You, Me!

[MBS]

17. Yes, exactly. N/t

[JI7]

3. think this will probably help beto get support in nyc

bdb and gabbard are not running to win. they are running to hurt the Democrats.

[MBS]

18. I agree.

The sooner these guys are disqualified from the later debates, the better.

[Cha]

39. It's sure not going to help di Blasio.

[emulatorloo]

5. Yuck.

[Cha]

50. So Yuck.

[Gothmog]

6. This will not help BdB

[Cha]

40. No it won't.. one wonders

what they're even thinking to "compare Dem rivals to trump"?!

[customerserviceguy]

43. Good

the faster his interrupting ass goes away, the sooner we can have a debate with only adults present.

[DesertRat]

47. Yes!

I can't wait to have a debate among the candidates who actually have a chance to be our nominee.

[Cha]

74. Amen x 2.

[George II]

8. What the hell is DeBlasio doing even running? He's getting ZERO traction, and wait until....

....Andrew Cuomo gets wind of this. Cuomo is a more popular Governor than DeBlasio is a Mayor, and they're mortal enemies. He's in a position to make De Blasio's life living hell.

[Me.]

23. I Don't Care For Cuomo Any Than I Care For The Mayor

It's killing Andrew that he's not the mayor and is always here butting in. The mess the subways are in is due in a large part to him as head of the MTA. Further, when those traitor Dems in Albany were messing everything up he was helping/siding with them. He only stopped at the last minute when he saw how the dynamics were changing. And bottom line I worry, if either try to run again we'll get a Con.

[dixiegrrrrl]

29. I didn't know that.

Delicious.

[dalton99a]

10. No wonder New Yorkers hate him.

[Peacetrain]

11. What the hell.. we have a true racist in the white house stirring

hatred and who knows where it will end up.. I have never seen anything so horrible.. and our people want to start taking pot shots at our own.. speaking of acting like Trump when he attacks our allies.. ahem De Blasio ahem..

[sheshe2]

13. This from a man with a black wife and children.

UN F**KING BELIEVABLE.

[mcar]

31. This!

[mr_lebowski]

14. To make matters worse, he's not even correctly interpreting what Beto said ...

at least not as far as I can tell

[Cha]

37. I was going to say... even if BdB

hadn't compared Beto to trump.. the tweet doesn't seem very smart.

[sheshe2]

15. That clears two off my list now.

[samir.g]

16. What's the point of attacking a back-bencher like Beto?

That's just petty.

[liskddksil]

53. Back bencher?

Not only are we one of only a handful of campaigns that qualified for the Fall debates but we are tied for 5th with Mayor Pete according to the most recent Harvard Harris survey this week.

[samir.g]

60. Sorry, poor choice of words

[liskddksil]

62. no worries. nt

[nini]

19. I don't think O'Rourke is ready and should run for the senate.

but gawd dammit.. he doesn't deserves this crap. He at least has the best interests of the people in mind. I like him.

de Blasio is an jerk. I hope he gets chewed up at the next debate.

[liskddksil]

55. Several great candidates are already running for Senate in Texas. Beto will help

turn Texas Blue at the top of the ticket!

[Cha]

59. Good to know.. Thank you, liskddksil!

[nini]

71. He has the best chance of winning that senate seat though.

John Cornyn needs to freaking go and Beto can get him out.

We need the senate back big time.

Don't think I don't like him.. I'm looking at the whole landscape here.

[left-of-center2012]

20. Bill de Blasio is at 0% and Beto O'Rourke is at 2%

Why this fight?

[liskddksil]

54. Beto is higher than 2 in recent polls this week.

We are tied for 5th with Mayor Pete and have qualified for the Fall debates.

[Me.]

24. HRC, PBO, BS

you're just annoyed because of the initials themselves.

[Kurt V.]

25. well no shit. ppl use his as a weapon

[Me.]

26. No One Had An Issue When PBO Was Still BO

Last edited Sat Jul 20, 2019, 09:45 PM - Edit history (1)

and plenty used his initials, it's politics. However, I don't think it will be used that much longer.

[Kurt V.]

27. no agument here on that. but we live our metaphors. and bs instead of sanders isn't worthy.

[Me.]

30. I Think I'll Choose To Disagree With You

Maybe his parents would've named him differently had they been able to see in the future but blaming others for their choice doesn't fit. And unless I'm mistaken those initials were applicable when he was born.

[Kurt V.]

33. fine. you dismiss the point of intentionall disrespect. you and i will both be ok no matter.

[Me.]

42. ...

[sheshe2]

77. Few had issues with PBO being called a POSUCS either.

Me.

[Me.]

78. Exactly

[sheshe2]

79. aaaah

backatcha

[Cha]

35. You're the one choosing to do that.

[mcar]

32. Yep.

Total side issue.

[Cha]

34. Sez you. Too bad you don't like BS' initials.

[Kurt V.]

36. It's how they are used that bothersome to me . bs can mean bullshit. Sanders means

a candidate for POTUS.

[Cha]

38. Yeah, they are used for his

name.. you're the one who makes a be deal out it.

[MrsCoffee]

66. The racist piece of shit in the White House is bothersome.

I guess we all pick our battles.

Maybe you could contact Bernie’s campaign and suggest he change his name.

[Cha]

84. Yeah, he should tell him

he doesn't like his initials.

[sheshe2]

80. Fact is I have seen many here object to someone posting "Sanders".

Sanders could mean...ick hate to say her name, Sarah the Huckster Sanders. We most certainly needed that cleared up. Thank the Goddess she is gone.

[Lordquinton]

46. Agreed, it's very intentional

When you see someone type Warren, Harris, BS, and Biden, it's not hard to see what they are doing.

[Cha]

49. Yeah, I'm using BS' initials.

[Lordquinton]

75. Who's initials?

[Cha]

81. Whose initials.

[Lordquinton]

91. Is there an echo?

Gonna answer the question?

[Kahuna7]

65. It's not worthless to me. nt

[peggysue2]

22. This is not a winning strategy

For any of our candidates! Comparing any Democratic contender to Trump or the Republicans is toxic, and as far as I'm concerned makes the spewer completely unacceptable for 2020.

DeBlasio and others need to knock it off. This approach will not win points in anyone's poll.

[Me.]

44. It Certainly Is Not

[LakeArenal]

28. Bill, sounds like loser talk to me.

[NYMinute]

41. This is a desperate and misguided move

It will not hurt Biden among the Democrats where he is a known quantity.

It will however, help Biden in the GE with disenchanted Trump voters who will see Biden as a much more palatable alternative to Trump than the ultra left wing candidates.

[Lordquinton]

45. I mean, people haven't stopped comparing Sanders to trump

So that claim is out the window.

[Cha]

48. No it isn't. BS and BdB are running for POTUS..

They're the ones bringing trump into it.. and only hurting themselves in the process.

[Indygram]

51. Beto Tweeted back and it's ROFLMAO hilarious

Link to tweet

He didn't post this gif, but it's the expression I picture him having when hitting "Reply"

Link to tweet

[Cha]

56. I like that.. Beto being positive..

turning di Blasio's super negative tweet into an opportunity to get out more information on his own health care plan.

lol@"Thanks for reaching out, Bill" Nice gif!

[Indygram]

57. The gif isn't mine but that smile matched the comment perfectly

I borrowed it from someone on twitter, lol.

[MustLoveBeagles]

89. Great reply by Beto

He's keeping it classy as always. I love that GIF

[SouthernProgressive]

52. This is garbage.

These failing candidates need to cut out the Trump comparisons.

[Cha]

58. Yes, they're only hurting themselves.

It would be nice if they tried to lift themselves up with the whole Democratic Party instead of going lower to drag on it.

[myohmy2]

63. all...

...I'm seeing are attacks on our Progressive candidates and elected officials for having great ideas...

...if you walk like a duck and quack like a duck, what does that make you?

...

[Cha]

64. BS and BdB are comparing Dem Rivals to

trump. They're only dragging themselves down in the process.

[Me.]

67. You'd Think They'd Know Better

[Cha]

68. Well from past history

I'd say they're right on track.

[Me.]

69. It's Only A Matter Of Time Now

IMHO...

Morning (mine) Hoa

[Cha]

70. Good Morning to you, Me!

G'night to me. Not bored.. I think it's a good sleepy icon.

Have a great Sunday, Hoa!

[highplainsdem]

72. I agree, Cha. It's a contemptible tactic.

[Cha]

73. Contemptible and

Desperate

Thank You, highplainsdem

[rzemanfl]

76. Wondering if BdB took the pledge, but it's my bedtime. n/t

[Cha]

83. Who knows? Doesn't seem to matter.

[Trenzalore]

82. Bill DeBlasio will have to buy a ticket to the September debate from a scalper

He isn't going to be able to earn a spot on the stage.

[ucrdem]

85. "Let's leave the lazy fear mongering tactics to Trump"

Good advice Bill!

[Cha]

86. Ikr!

Did he even hear himself?

[Scurrilous]

87. ...

[Cha]

88. Mahalo!

Scurrilous

[MustLoveBeagles]

90. Well bless your heart Bill

JHC.. Just leave the ******* trump comparisons on the cutting room floor.

Exactly! Comparing any Democrat to trump is beneath contempt.

[Cha]

92. KICK!
