Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumWhat does Bloomberg do if Biden wins SC?
There isnt room for both of them to be the "moderate" and win the nomination. Will be interesting to see how the multi-billionaire tries to buy the nomination if that occurs. I dont want Biden to be the nominee but i respect him as being a loyal democrat for decades.

(6,554 posts)Two "Yankee" liberals? Not a chance. If Sanders wins, he needs to pick someone like Julian Castro, to give him support in the middle and South of the country.

(2,406 posts)Sometimes reinforcing the brand/message is more important than traditional ticket-balancing. (Maybe most of the time theres precious little evidence that ticket-balancing has ever helped.)
Also, Julian Castro would be a terrible choice, in my opinion. He would bring nothing to the ticket. His own presidential bid did not attract Latinos or anyone else; he couldnt win a statewide race in Texas, much less strengthen the ticket elsewhere; and he doesnt have a distinguished CV (not for someone who might be called upon to assume the presidency immediately). That guy is so overrated. Bluntly, Id be glad if he left politics entirely.
Warren would be a much stronger choice.

You can kiss those goodbye after billions of dollars worth of COMMMMMMMIE!!!! Rethug red baiting adverts are dropped on our Party's head.

Kudos to him for sending my husband and I two pieces of mail today. I want a potholder like in olden times.

(32,731 posts)I doubt many democrats will trust him after the recent audio leaks, etc.
I already didn't trust him, but his praise of trump was the last straw for me.
