row_33 Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 The 1980 race "kinda" between Carter and Ted Kennedy at least had some political gravity I will forever assert Gore and Kerry and Hillary were very suitable candidates, way more so than Carter/Mondale/Dukakis 1 hour ago, Buffalo_Gal said: Make one!

What a raw deal she got from that ***** John McCain and the "MSM". her appeal wasn't carrying into enough categories to be a political winnner, they had no shot in the first place so it didn't matter 1 hour ago, SoCal Deek said: Hey...the republicans ran John McCain and Sarah Palin...so it’s not exclusive to the Dems. McCain and Dole and Romney had zero chance to win they were decent candidates

What would make them suitable?

It baffles the mind that people such as Harris and Warren could actually be candidates. practically impossible to unseat an eligible President with a strong economy so many are going to bow out the surprise to me was 1972 for the Dems, I thought Humphrey would have taken it, but with the new rules the Dems put in after 1968 I guess the epically all-time pointless McGovern weaseled it out. Carter got going on the new rules in 1976 very early and sealed it off before anyone knew what hit them.

Why? they were the better candidates over W and Trump doesn't need more than a one-second intuitive snap decision that is eternal... still can't believe W and Trump beat the 3 of them. Presidential is a matter of first introduction that never changes. The first time I saw Bill Clinton at a press conference, while governor, i thought "geez, he will be dangerous if the Dems put him up front."
row_33 Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 saw a study where the first impression and a further 15 minutes of an interview was no more reliable on a final judgment of a person than the first 2 seconds of the first impression Obama looked Presidential from the first second he was nationally brought forward and that's 98% of the game...

Has there ever been a worse pool of candidates in the Democratic Party for the presidential nomination? Well, 1988 was pretty weak: Michael Dukakis, Jessie Jackson, Al Gore, Paul Simon (not that Paul Simon), Dick Gephardt, and Gary Hart. 1972 was a bit better but quite an eclectic mix of: George McGovern, Hubert Humphrey, George Wallace, Edmund Muskie, and Shirley Chisholm. 1992 brought us Bill Clinton, Jerry Brown, Paul Tsongas, Tom Harkin, and Bob Kerrey. 12 minutes ago, B-Man said: RUN ALL THE CANDIDATES!

I read that she is under enormous pressure to rule out running for President in 2020. As much as I'd like to see her lose again to Trump, just sit down and shut up Cankles. 1
Nanker Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 The “pressure” she’s feeling is to declare her candidacy so she gets protected from any scrutiny under the newly-minted “Biden Rule.” Can’t investigate a Democrat that’s running for office. 3
