President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

The key word in Weigel's sentence is "says." Until required FEC filings, could be spin. Even if not, not a big deal. All the announced candidates will not lack for money, and if Biden gets in (I hope not) he won't either. Online fundraising has changed the game. Say the average donation in that Sanders million is $50. That's 20,000 people. That's pretty easy to duplicate in a country with over 200 million registered voters.

 

In the meantime, Sherrod Brown . . .

on Bernie Sanders.




Maybe Bernie is the Candidate Emeritus.

 

That's a very smart way for Brown to approach Sanders. Treat him as a respected elder statesman, which by implication means "yesterday's news." Biden will probably get the same treatment if he runs, but it'll be a lot more obvious.

 

Charlie Daniels reacts to Bernie's announcement less deftly.

 

Look at the picture -- the bitch is a pig in a wig.

 

Threatening a Presidential candidate gets you a not real friendly visit from the Secret Service, even if you're just a music has been from the '70s.

 

Bernie's lack of relationship with the black community, especially black women (the top constituency in the party), makes him dead in the water.

And it's not as if he's an unknown who can change how black people perceive him. They saw plenty of him last cycle and couldn't stand him.

 

Charlie Daniels isn't stoking any revolution, he's 83. He's lucky he can afford to pay someone to change his diaper.

 

Bernie shine up your shoes
And get your tie on straight
But if you cause the Dems to lose
It’s you they’re gonna haaate ...

 

Kathy Griffin was investigated closely by the Secret Service for her severed head pic. I would hope that Charlie Fucking Daniels gets the same treatment. It is a shame that he has turned into another run of the mill idiot. I will never get stoned in the morning and drunk in the afternoon and enjoy it quite as much as I once did.
