A place for all the gaffs, slip-ups and overall outlandish things Democratic candidates will say or do in lead up to the 2020 Election.

Bloomberg needs to drop out to spend more time with his money. Hopefully this will hasten his exit.

This evidences a much more important problem with the move towards a contract labor force and the prison industrial complex that will get lost in the drama.

It's a sad state of affairs when in America you have to make sure to add "And make sure none of it involves slave labor." at the end of every spending order you give.

Saw this in the news feed and wondered what to make of it. Is this an endorsement . . . a conditional endorsement . . . a half-arsed endorsement . . . not an endorsement? The article says Obama has refused to publicly endorse anybody, but in private, he's pushing Warren? I'm confused.

Former President Barack Obama has been encouraging Democratic bundlers to pledge their full support to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., should she win the party's nomination for president, The Hill reported Monday.

Obama tells big-money Dem donors to back Warren if she wins nomination: report

Former President Barack Obama has been speaking to Democratic donors in recent weeks who may be reluctant to support Sen. Elizabeth Warren's White House bid because of her strong criticism of the wealthy and Wall Street, according to media reports.

Sounds like he is just saying, if she wins the nomination, don't close the money train. She'll need it in the general.

He's just preparing the major donors. I dont see it as an endorsement.

My taxes has not changed enough to notice since I retired which was when Obama was president.

So, the tax cut didn't do much for you, but you're financially far better off under Trump? Because the market is still climbing and had a decent boost in 2018? Depending on your asset allocation, 2019 has been ok growth or more of a sideways year. So, how have his policies affected your well being? I've seen pretty strong 6 year (or more) market run up in my retirement accounts.

Whatever his point, reports are that Warren's fundraising has taken a noticeable hit. I think these things can be overplayed at this point in a campaign - but with her dip in poll numbers there may be trouble there.

Haven't paid attention much recently. How's Klobuchar doing?

Not all that great. She did get a slight uptick after the last debate.

Thanks, she's probably my favorite out of the candidates, but I suspect she's going to be courted as VP candidate.

Thanks, she's probably my favorite out of the candidates, but I suspect she's going to be courted as VP candidate.

I actually say a poll a hour or so ago that had her at 5%. I'm with you she is my favorite out all that's left but sadly she has no chance. Maybe as a VP though.

Castro called it quits.

Castro called it quits.

I think he was always running for VP or a coveted cabinet position.

 

[Dadsdream]

In his own words:

"I'm so proud of the campaign we've run together. We've shaped the conversation on so many important issues in this races, stood up for the most vulnerable people and given a voice to those who are often forgotten," Castro said. "But with only a month until the Iowa Caucuses, and given the circumstances of this campaign season, I've determined that it simply isn't our time, so today it's with a heavy heart and with profound gratitude that I will suspend my campaign for president."
