Same problem since 1972. Democrat primary voters are so far left of reality yet so splintered that it is hard for the mainstream candidate to get traction. This year was worse than usual, pick the loon that fits your views. This was a function of modern times. Even in the 1990s you had just a few media outlets. So many candidates will likely be the norm for a few more cycles, though I expect maybe one more election then both sides make no bones about limiting who gets into the debates. Followed by fringe outlets having JV debates. Currently the USA is hooked on politics like heroin. Until people get tired and tune out they will get their supply.


I've thought about the debates and the fringe candidates. Specifically Marianne Williamson. How much money will she make that she wouldn't have if she was not a "candidate"? What is the value of "being on the stage" to lecture fees, book sales, consulting jobs, etc.?
Someone suggested that Kamala really wants to be a Supreme Court Justice and being on that stage is a first step?
Why was Gillebrand running?
My point is that most of the Democrat candidates running for President had a different agenda than actually becoming President. Free publicity.

I agree. This kind of thing started in CA when they had that recall election. Only 1 porn star was a candidate for governor. Will that sell more films? It can't hurt.

All the dropouts days before Super Tuesday is the deadest giveaway. Like building a car and qualifying for the Daytona 500 and the morning of telling NASCAR you are not going to run. They got their messages out. The got their names out. Oh, and how many campaign donations that idiots sent did they skim off like so many dollars skimmed at a mob run casino?

The ironic thing is that this was Donny’s reason for running in 2015!

The problem was that too many deplorables fell for the con...

Biden was not a “babbling incoherent mess” this morning as EB said he was.


Don't you think that is subjective? I am pretty sure you could interpret it one way and EB could see it differently.

Biden is a gift..

Biden twice told Morning Joe that 600,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus.

"And we talk about that number like 600-plus thousand people,” he said, before host Joe Scarborough interjected, “Sixty.”

“Sixty thousand,” Scarborough said.

“Six— sixty thousand,” Biden responded. “I misp— 60,000.”


Old Joe was close. Somebody give
this guy the nuclear football. lol

Tara Reade was supposed to give her first interview to Chris Wallace tomorrow on Fox News Sunday. She abruptly canceled the interview yesterday afternoon.

I'll give her chance to change her mind. Maybe she wanted to do Hannity.

Yes a red flag that she just got bought off. I wonder how much?
