When the debates start, the first question will be about socialism, and when you hear them all talking about how the problem with socialism is it just wasn't done right, that'll be the end of that. And if that doesn't do it, the endless list of candidates who already signed on the AOC's campaign manager's Green Deal will certainly wipe them out. Socialism, Open Borders, dead babies and Global Warming Cooling Climate Change are the Donner Party's priority right now. The problem is that is not the average American's priority. And even if you can convince Biden and his Rhetorical Flourish to run, sticking him with an Open Borders Hero like Robert Francis is a death call. That just made me realize...Ocasio-Cortez is going to give someone an endorsement. People are going to ask her for an endorsement. And she will give it. The media will actively seek her out to endorse someone...and she will. This *****'s going to need calliope music. 5 1

Has there ever been a poll of the average age over here at PPP? Just curious. Seems it might shed some light on some of the things I read over here. Boy the way you present these things just tells me how wildly I differ in opinion from most of PPP, in all likelihood. This country has waves of young voters who are likely to come out and actually vote, just like they did a few months ago. Those young voters ain't votin for Trump.

They'll vote for Harris or Booker or Robert Francis, and there aren't enough young kids in the middle of the country to get it done because the older electorate wants protected borders, no late term abortions, and it'll be a cold day in hell when the older folks think a socialist is a good idea. You, however, sound like you are embracing the Dem Socialist platform. Is that correct?

Get out of my head! There is zero chance the Dem ticket is 1). all male and 2). all white. That'd be as dumb as, say... Mitt Romney picking Paul Ryan. Edited March 1, 2019 by Golden Goat 2
Doc Brown Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 1 hour ago, TakeYouToTasker said: @transplantbillsfan The other major factor to consider is how large the group of individuals who will vote for President Trump 2020, who didn’t/refused to in the last election, has grown. Self professed, you don’t spend much time in PPP. I think you would be absolutely astounded by the percentage of this sub-forum, which you probably believe to be “right-leaning” but is actually far more libertarian/classically liberal, were very vocally anti-Tump in 2016. These are people, like myself, who feared the President would act as the Democrat he had been in public life for the last 40 years. We thought he’d destroy American conservatism forever. We were wrong, and have been extremely pleased, in many cases, with President Trump’s leadership. I can’t speak for others here, but I’ll be enthusiastically casting my ballot for the President in 2020; and I think they will too. I feel this is representitive of a huge cross-section of American voters. I don't think that faction is that big. I would venture there's more people who stayed home who usually vote Democrat because they didn't like Hillary (or assumed she would win) than Republicans who stayed at home because they didn't like Trump.

I’ll remind you that Barack Obama was the most popular candidate of all time in terms of votes cast. President Trump won the Pesidential election doing worse than Mitt Romney, who was a milquetoast candidate. Conservatives are both a) abhorred by the New Democratic Party Line (IE. I’ll stay home if it’s a choice between Trump and Clinton, but I’ll be damned if I stay home if it’s a choice between open borders and infanticide, and Trump), and b) galivinized by both Trump’s record as Executive, and the behavior of rank and file progressives making war on them, often violently. I believe President Trump secures 72-75m votes in 2020. 1

You, however, sound like you are embracing the Dem Socialist platform. Is that correct? I love the aspirational ideals of the Green New Deal, but not all parts of it essentially for how it would or would not be put into practice. I absolutely believe in man's influence on our climate. Considering how much we've changed the world in the last century, I believe it's foolish not to. Plus, there's science. I absolutely believe everyone should get health care and I'm fine paying more in taxes for it. Our taxes go to things like our highways and bridges and airports and trains and education system and social security and so on... they should absolutely go towards people getting health coverage, too. I absolutely believe there's been a history of repression of women, of people of color, and of indigenous people (Native Americans, Hawaiians, etc.) that's systemic in our very culture that needs to change. If you think I'm a Democratic Socialist because of those things in particular, fine. But no, I do not consider myself a Socialist.

She worked in the Public sector as an Assistant to the Mayor of Chicago, Assistant Commissioner of Planning and Development, Executive Director for the Chicago office of Public Allies, Associate Dean of Student Services at the University of Chicago developing the University's Community Service Center, worked as executive director for community affairs and then as Vice President for Community and External Affairs for Chicago Hospitals. She's super smart, graduating from Princeton and then Harvard law school. She's very well-spoken, which would help in addressing not only the public, but also in foreign relations. She's a fantastic role-model. That more than checks any boxes she would need, especially now that so many boxes have been eliminated with our current president. If Michelle Obama ran for President, she would win. If she ran against Trump, it wouldn't surprise me if he would bow out knowing the inevitable outcome. But she's not running, so no point in discussing it, really. But I was challenged to answer a question, so I did.
