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.

Official Biden wins Maine

I assumed that the delay was a mistake in California and it was not some evil plot to suppress voting. Maybe that is what everyone should do, not just with a state you 'support'.

Not when there's clear evidence to the contrary. That's just lying to yourself in order to not deal with an inconvenient/uncomfortable fact.

I find a lot of people do that constantly.

Socialized medicine doesn't sound so bad now, huh? haha.

Is that about Joe Biden's son?

As of now there is a 65 delegate lead for Biden, which just shows there is a long way to any sure thing regarding the nomination.

Biden 566
Sanders 501

Maybe it's me being naive but I don't think Bernie is out of it yet.

I don't think so either, but I definitely think he fell flat yesterday and is working an uphill battle now. I think he vs Biden will be an interesting battle for the rust belt/union workers as both are attractive in that regard.

yep

I see wall street liked Biden's turnaround. Guess they are are more confident the cushy tax breaks for billion dollar companies would stick around longer if he won out over Bernie

 

[SystemShock]

yep

Hmmm... Biden's son vs Donny Jr, Eric, Ivanka, and Jared... what a decision to make

... or at least they see Biden in an enemy of my enemy, least painful type.

Warren team turns grim after Super Tuesday wipeout

Her campaign has massive overhead, and she's facing hard political and financial decisions about whether to keep going.

How Many Delegates Do The 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidates Have?

A candidate needs 1,991 delegates to become the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Even after effectively securing the nomination in March, Joe Biden has spent months reaching the benchmark.

So they didn’t really mean to close all those polling places, which took place predominantly in Democratic leaning areas? It was just an innocent mistake? That’s what you’re going with?

A glitch can be a mistake. Purposefully closing polling places where people don’t tend to vote for your party isn’t a mistake.

I don't mind that Bloomberg has an armed security detail. In fact, it's probably wise if he is going to continue to criticize Bernie.

It's just hypocritical for people like him to want to prohibit ordinary citizens from defending themselves with firearms when that's exactly what they do.

Not really seeing the hypocrisy. Now if he wanted to make sure everyone except him had to abide by certain rules, then that would be hypocritical.

What you seem to expect him to do is to unilaterally disarm, before the rules change. That would be stupid, you wouldn’t do it, so you shouldn’t expect him to. Nope, he gets to do whatever is within the current laws, until they change, and then he has to abide by the laws as they are written.

I thought there was a January 19, 2016 meeting that was at issue.
