I have no doubt that Biden could annihilate Trump in all but the eyes of Trump's most committed and deluded followers. 

Even if Biden fails to get the nomination, he will be out there giving Trump a going over for the next year. 

Time to end our national tragic farce.

Even if Biden fails to get the nomination,

There are about 3 or 4 Democrats who could beat Trump in the general election.  All are moderates, and Biden is primary among them.  If he fails to get the nomination, it is a sign that the Democratic Party has forsaken wisdom for extremism.

The campaign ad was based on identity politics, division and hate. It was directed at black voters & the resistance.

It contains the classic progressive interpretation of Trump's "there were good people on both sides", as if it meant he was talking about the Nazis vs Antifa!  Think about that for a minute and remember what the controversy was about before the thugs showed up - removing statues. Are there good people who want them taken down? I think we can say yes! Are there good people who want all statues preserved?  I think we can say yes! That is what Trump meant.

Will Biden win the nomination?  Prediction: His current slim lead over Sanders will be his best day!

The Dems might not realize it yet, but Bernie is toast. His proposals are too far from the mainstream of what Americans want from their government. Too many sappy ideas about free stuff and how we would pay for it all. But the final straw was the idiotic comments about letting currently time serving felons vote. I don't think that most patriotic citizens want a prez who thinks it's OK to let killers, rapists, and pedophiles vote. That's who he seems to be appealing to. jrSmiley_78_smiley_image.gif

Bernie seems to be doing his own oppo research.  His comment about letting people in jail vote without any further distinction (i.e., those convicted of murder vs. those in for non-violent crimes--something, anyway) was about as bone-headed as it gets.  

But if he's too left for you, wouldn't Warren be as well?

To that end, I do not expect to have a candidate to vote for in 2020.

So downplaying to what is possible, I want a PotUS who is not an embarrassment for our nation.

You said Warren is too far left. Her most left proposal is a wealth tax. People who have 51 million dollars net worth would pay 20,000 dollars more a year in taxes than they do now. If they have more than 51 million the tax would be higher accordingly. (2% tax on 50 million plus net worth). 

All I asked you is if you agree with the proposed tax.

Moreover, 'repression-less' homosexuals, lesbians, and queer-life, happier women freed up and in Congress got you down?  My brother, just how much longer do you wish your way of life and happiness to be everybody's?

2.1.34  livefreeordie  replied to  CB @2.1.33    5 years ago

my issues with Obama were on the following (just to cite a few)

1. He was a lifelong marxist, groomed from childhood by his communist relatives and then his admitted mentor Frank Marshall Davis who was a leader in the Communist party. he plotted a marxist revolution while at Occidental College.  Was then paired with families of communists in Chicago.  Worked with Saul Alinsky and then was elected to the Illinois State Senate as a Socialist member of the New Party

2.  He loves Islamic Jihadists and despises Christianity

3.  He openly called for a fundamental transformation of our nation to his marxist, Godless dream

4.  His foreign policy including his hatred of Israel was despicable.

5. His love of big government and higher taxes 

6.  Nationalizing the Student loan program (more communism)

7.  Federal takeover of GM

8. His stand on moral issues of abortion and homosexual behavior

I could go on

I have not advocated for any American to have fewer freedoms. In fact I call for far more freedoms than any Democrat or other leftists.  If you are insinuating about marriage, I've stated before I don't believe there is a "right" to marry and that Government should have no part in marriage or divorce.

Your offenses against Obama are not offensive. You seem to have a need for uniformity and conformity in your worldview that this life can not oblige you. I will only touch on one thing you wrote directly, government has chosen to have a role in marriage and many good godly folks seemed to indulge themselves in it "drama" to the fullest; until, those 'others' came in. Well LOFD, rules are for everybody and the government finally 'got wise' to the people it was leaving out of the rules.

I feel sorry that you have an issue with homosexuals, real sorry, because homosexuals don't, truly, have a problem with you!

Why do you want control over other people and their legal conduct?

People in prison already vote in Vermont and Maine.

 Should we also limit of free speech of groups such as NAMBLA, Fred Phelps, the Klan, or Neo-Nazis or do we support voting rights for people like we do not agree with, just as we defend the freedom speech and religious rights of people who we also do not agree with?

 This is what separates constitutional rights from privileges that can be taken away or denied to certain people. I thought that we as a country understood and embraced equal rights for all, but it very obvious that we do not.

I don't believe there is a "right" to marry and that Government should have no part in marriage or divorce.

Here is a portion where your logic breaks down. Government is the authority in the United States through its authorized representatives, cabinets, judges, and administration.

What some are really doing is pushing aside what is right and could even be considered wholesome for homosexuals under our system of laws, while selfishly claiming the name of marriage and its prestige for heterosexuals alone (no matter how rotten two people can be to each other).

LFOD you do not have to believe in a right to marry for homosexuals; simply put what is required of you is to let it be. Let it pass over you without effect. It can give you greater peace per the 'promise' of peace.

Hi Atheist. What I read from LFOD is ideological purity. He insist on limited federal government involvement in the mode of this country's operation. He is impervious to large-scale federal policies which congresses legislate into law. He is a respecter of constitutional amendments—that which is nearly impossible to come by. Moreover, were this country to wait for certain sectors of our society to budge on major change ideas, those people would have see themselves frozen over first!

Look let's get real. 

There is not a newcomer around (other than maybe Bloomberg), who would be qualified to run for president. And there is no way, no how I am voting for Trump. 

Biden is not perfect. And when anyone has 40 years of politics behind them, they are going to change positions. Heck, I have changed my own.

Let's be honest about Joe, he's been all over the map ideologically because he is a politician.

Sorry to inform you, but Trump is all over the map, weekly, if not daily. And while Joe does shoot from the lip, you can not compare any of his gaffs to Trump's daily tweetfest including really bad spelling. 

He represents everything this country needs to move away from.

There is some truth to that. People are looking for less business as usual. But he also represents moving back towards the center, and I am sick of the extremism going on in this country. He is not perfect, but he is what we need now.

There are other Centrists in the Primary race other than Biden:

Klobuchar,
Buttigig,
Delaney,
Harris is pretty Centrist, but is running on Progressive ideas.
I think Inslee may be Centrist though he's running on Climate Change,
Hickenlooper,
Gillibrand,
Messam,
Tim Ryan,
Swalwell, but his record reads more Center Right than Center Left

Now, I know most of these people don't have Biden name recognition. I'm still looking at Klobuchar, Buttigig and Gillibrand as uniting top running Centrist Democrats.

I'm an old guy who's lived through several presidents starting with Eisenhower. I only lean to the right, and voted for JFK. Sadly, JFK would be mocked and scorned by today's Democrats. The progressive far left wing liberals of today scare the hell out of me.

Greg,

My issues with Trump is that he's been proven to be a national embarrassment. He still thinks he's doing reality TV. I kept my mouth shut about him for a long time, but it got to a point that I can't ignore him anymore.

Look, I agree that the progressive movement of the Dems is way out there, but I feel the same way about the conservative part of the Republican party. You say that the Dems would not elect JFK, but the Repubs would not elect Regan either. That is the biggest problem. We are so polarized.

President Obama chose Joe because he was the right candidate for the 2008 election cycle. It was evidenced by a repeat (validation- "no blip") victory in 2012. Please cut the propaganda talk! And I won't drop it into the 'water' that you are only 'flashing' all these beautiful colors simply to hide the fact that you have 'scales' fish! I got one word for you: AQUAMAN!

Barack Obama ' mentored ,' and I put that in quotes only because Barack was the president, Joe Biden for eight 'well-mannered' years. Moreover, for my part, I do find that all the liberals I hear today are moving me away from the status quo to something that is well, noisy and which I have not seen before. Such as, "free college for all" and those on whom such cost should fall on. It is hard to figure out and factor the math these politicians are using. So I loosely listen and wait to see if any of it catches fire, because ultimately these costs would need to work in future society. All the while, lifting people up and bringing down deficits/debts.

I do understand conservatives austerity and its "robotic" activities which would pull money out of the federal government in order to give it to the folks who earn it to keep it; but, that attitude towards this country's wealth did not (could not?) work during the Great Depression era. And the irony here for us today is its conservatives who have unrelentingly striven to keep a new permanent and stable 'floor' for wages for rank and file working folks from stabilizing.  That is, conservatives have been fighting the system to get back to the iron law of wages for nearly a decade or more.

So the ever elusive "perfect politician" won't be found in this upcoming season either. I agree with you. But, this asinine 'hype' man president currently is dangerous in his season of learning, he will not get any sweeter on the vine in five more years.

The 'thing' politics needs a shift in how it operates and thinks if itself. The 'schisms' within the systems have settled on adversity as the way forward! Some of the leaders want to  permanently subordinate the other party. The 'shift' that is needed here is to a gear where disharmony is replaced with harmony of two-party single-mindedness. The way "up" is to build the tower in unison, not through great strife!

In a country that can justify spending scores of billions of dollars to build walls (or one warship) there's more than enough money to be found to take the life-time financial burden off middle and lower economic class students completing their educational goals as far as they can.  Same goes for plans to provide medical coverage for everyone.  This absurd idea that we just can't afford "nice things" is a lie of massive dimensions.

Trump never said he grabbed anyone's pussy,

And you obviously decided not to hear what's on that tape.  Selective deafness.  People who keep giving this bloated Scumbag a pass are almost worse than the Scumbag himself.  This is how that Scumbag has screwed so many people in all sorts of ways--literally and financially just to name the most obvious.

If you were famous and said that then yes we could assume you have done or been in proximity of those things and are speaking from experience, either witnessed or performed by yourself, otherwise what is the point of saying it? And since Trump never denied it, it only continues to affirm he in fact did do such a thing and did not just witness it.

Since you are not famous we cannot assume you did those things because you have no first hand knowledge of what it is like to be famous in the first place.

How far in following Marx and the Communist Manifesto do the Democrats have to go before folks like yourself will acknowledge that they are following Communism?

All of these are from the Communist Manifesto and are core liberal Democrat policies and beliefs (shared unfortunately by a number of Republicans)

"Chapter II. Proletarians and Communists

The Communist revolution is the most radical rupture with traditional property relations; no wonder that its development involved the most radical rupture with traditional ideas.

But let us have done with the bourgeois objections to Communism.

We have seen above, that the first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class to win the battle of democracy.

The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralise all instruments of production in the hands of the State, i.e., of the proletariat organised as the ruling class; and to increase the total productive forces as rapidly as possible.

Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property, and on the conditions of bourgeois production; by means of measures, therefore, which appear economically insufficient and untenable, but which, in the course of the movement, outstrip themselves, necessitate further inroads upon the old social order, and are unavoidable as a means of entirely revolutionising the mode of production.

These measures will, of course, be different in different countries.

Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.

A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes. (eminent domain)

Abolition of all rights of inheritance. (estate tax)

Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly. (Federal Reserve)

Centralization of the means of communication and transport in he hands of the state. (FCC & Dept Of Transportation)

Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. (AIG, GM, Dept of Agriculture, OSHA, EPA)

Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. (unionism)

Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country. (urbanization)

Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc (John Dewey a communist and founder of American Public Schools - Dewey considered "the great task of the school" to be "to counteract and transform those domestic and neighborhood tendencies" which he specifically and accurately identified as "the influence of home and Church." In order for Dewey's "progressive" agenda to advance, the moral authority of "home and Church" would have to be undermined and replaced with the authority of the state.)

The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital. (homosexual marriage, feminism)

seek to end all religious belief and practice (which is a common sentiment here by the socialists)

- It is new income for you and should be taxed accordingly, just because it was in your daddies bank does not mean it is not a form of income in the year you received it. 

(Securing land from the individual to benefit the state or country due to national security or other extreme measures) is not Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.

(A heavy progressive or graduated income tax) - Do you live in a self sustaining homestead on a plot of land away from all modern technologies and necessities?  No....didn't think so, these taxes you hate so much are what paid for your police, roads, sewer system, electrical systems, internet capabilities...you are such a socialist.

This made me laugh, (Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly)....RIGHT, that is so happening, i have 3 accounts at 3 different independent banks, and credit accounts at many more, none of which are owned by the gov.

(Centralization of the means of communication and transport in he hands of the state), really, Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T...all black site gov funded entities?? dumb. the FCC sets regulations (Rules or laws) that benefit communication companies or benefit the people using the communications.   There will always be laws and rules to abide by in any industry t any point in time from the beginning to the end...get over it.

Which is what was believed at the time. The driver was later found not guilty of this. Now he should have taken it back but he didn't. That was wrong. But I am not going to fault a guy who just lost a wife and a child. That alone is an unbearable misery. He was probably just bitter, and who wouldn't be.

You claim Biden "believes" he was drinking but can't provide any rational basis for that belief. In order for that guy to have been drunk, the police would have had to have covered up his crime. Why would Biden (and by extension, you) believe that is even a possibility? 

. I said that Biden said that after the accident and I meant right after the accident

No, he was claiming  it in the 2000s. There is zero evidence that he made that claim in the aftermath of the accident. Why would he do that when his friend and neighbor, Jerome Herlihy, the deputy AG of Delaware,  announced publicly two days after the accident that "there was NO EVIDENCE Dunn was speeding, drinking or driving a truck with faulty brakes."

Only the NR said it was in the 2000s..

And the New York Times, CBS, the Atlantic etc etc... the logical fallacy thing isn't going to cut it. The September 4 2008 New York Times has a long story about how Biden started talking about how his family was killed by a drunk driver in 2001.

Biden did say it right after the accident

Please link to that.

Somehow you are OK with the daily garbage that comes out of Trump's mouth.

Trump is no better than Biden. I said it's funny that those who claim to be so upset about Trump are perfectly happy with Biden and his history of plagiarism and lying about something as sordid as how his own family died.  That's about as low as you can go.

Joe Biden believed that Mr.Dunn "drank his lunch" that day, mentioned it a few times over the next 40 years and in 2008

accepted the Judge's opinion that alcohol was not a factor.

Just a week before Christmas, 1972, the wife of newly-elected Sen. Joe Biden and the couple's baby daughter were killed - and their two sons badly injured - when the Biden family car was broadsided by a truck at an intersection in Delaware.

The truck driver, Curtis Dunn, was never charged in the crash. But, his daughter Pam Hamill says, he too, suffered, reports CBS News correspondent Bob Orr .

"He grieved over that," Hamill said. "He was haunted and was tormented by that for years."

Dunn died in 1999, but since then his family has endured widespread rumors and reports that he had been drinking just before the collision.

At least twice, Biden himself has made public references to alcohol being involved in the crash. In 2007 Biden said the truck driver "allegedly ... drank his lunch." And multiple news outlets, including CBS News , have reported that Dunn was drunk.

Hamill disputes that - saying her dad had not been drinking.

"The truth is, it was a tragic accident," she said. "No alcohol was involved."

The police reports have been lost, but Delaware Judge Jerome Herlihy, who investigated the crash, supports Hamill's claim.

He told CBS News, "There was no indication that the truck driver had been drinking."

And last fall, a spokesman for Biden said that the senator "fully accepts the Dunn family's word that these rumors were false."

Now Pam Hamill simply wants the record to be cleared, and her father's reputation restored

"He was a good, hard working man and wonderful father," she said.

Was Mrs. Biden partially at fault, probably, but it was not a head on collision, I don't know where you got that from.  Obviously the same sites that insist the Joe is some

scurrilous subhuman for accusing Mr. Dunn of killing his wife and child under the influence of alcohol.

Too many other, older, less polarized articles express the more likely truth without condemning Biden for what he implied or said about Dunn.

yes, your links demonstrate exactly what I said. 

There was no evidence that the driver was drinking and Biden didn't claim there was until 2001.  Again, in 1972, the investigator publicly announced there was no evidence that the driver was drinking. He wasn't so much as ticketed. Then almost 30 years later, Biden starts publicly slurring the memory of Dunn. 

There is no rational basis or evidence to support the claim Dunn was drinking.  To believe he was, you'd have to believe the Delaware State Police and Deputy AG (Biden's friend) engaged in a cover up to protect a truck driver who killed a Senator's family. In what world would that happen? 

Was Mrs. Biden partially at fault, probably,

She had a stop sign, the other driver didn't.

It's sad that you cannot prove that.

The man, a good man,  lost his wife and infant in a tragic accident 47 years ago, before the digital age, hell they even lost the police records,

We are relying on newsprint articles from 47 years ago.

All we have are a couple of quotes where he used the word allegedly and instantly in some peoples minds, he's a liar.  The worst of the worst, scum of the earth,

Failed the purity test, he did.

That's political hackery 101.

So is calling him a serial plagiarist, but I'm sure you have your reasons for that too.....

If Democrats intend to turn the 2020 election into a referendum based on personality then Democrats are in trouble.  In a personality contest the weapon of choice is public disclosure.  And no one that has been in politics for any length of time can avoid damage caused by public disclosure.  Keep in mind that Russian meddling was really about public disclosure so a personality contests makes foreign meddling easier to accomplish.

Donald Trump is a known quantity; everyone is very aware of Trump's personality flaws and Democrats have already used up all the public disclosure they have available.  In a personality contest Trump has the advantage because there won't be any new surprises.  Democrats spewing spittle over Trump will be just more of the same.  Turning the 2020 campaign into a personality contest means that the surprises will come from public disclosures about the Democratic candidate, not public disclosures about Trump.  In a personality contest Democrats have more to lose than does Trump.

Democrats had better start building a campaign of creditable policy ideas that are an alternative to Trump's policy ideas.  Trump's policy ideas are straightforward; America's interests are more important than anything else.  So far the only Democrats putting forward policy ideas have been Democratic Socialists within the party.  But the problem has been that those Democratic Socialist ideas attempt to transform America into Europe.  That's going to be a difficult sell.

Very good post Nerm! 

Like you, my major concerns are about policy, and the Democrats have continued to make it all about personality and character flaws. They don't seem to have an agenda acceptable to the majority of American citizens, and apparently can't come up with a plan or a clue about how to govern anymore. They can't seem to get beyond the results of the last election and assembled a bunch of whining losers as presidential candidates. Not one of them seems to inspire much interest or shows any leadership capabilities . Going to be an interesting campaign.

The fact is, it's not so much that his scandals are known so they don't matter anymore. Bill Clintons scandals have been known for almost 30 years and Republicans are still whining about them. The difference is the standards for Trump have been lowered below the floor. Many republicans have decided they really don't care what Trump does or says, they'll keep supporting him just to piss off liberals and progressives they know REALLY can't stand him. So his disgusting personality, his serial adultery, his lying and cheating at everything, his blatant attempts at obstruction of justice, his clearly open door policy to anything Russian, his unhinged behavior, his moronic tweets, his unmitigated narcissism, all of it is excused because some on the right felt left behind, felt abandoned by what they perceive as "the establishment". And what do poorly educated bullies do when faced with opposition? They punch it in the nose. They know no other way to overcome adversity. Donald Trump is simply a rude, vulgar punch in the nose and his base couldn't be happier about it. Of course, many of his supporters would likely find all sorts of joy in torturing kittens or tripping disabled kids, but their true joy has come from watching their elected President kick all the Presidential norms along with the American government, liberals, progressives, minorities and LGTBQ Americans along with the constitution, in the nuts.

The Democratic party faithful had their minds made up about Trump when it was announced that Clinton lost.  Trump hasn't tried to change that opinion.  Not surprising that for the primaries the Democratic candidates will preach to the choir.

How are Democrats going to show that Trump is flawed since everyone already knows that?  Are Democrats going to repeat the 2016 election?  Why should Democrats believe that this time will be different?

In a personality contest Trump has all the advantages.  Democrats can't make Trump look worse.  And Trump can bring out all the flaws in the Democratic candidate.  If Democrats try to run another personality contest then Democrats will be the losers even if they take back the White House.  The Democratic candidate will end up looking just as flawed as Trump.  Democrats would win an election but lose credibility.

Well anyone with any sense knew Trump was an abject failure of a human being not fit to be a crossing guard long before the election. Even many on the right knew it, they just reveled in the fact that Trump made the toes curl of anyone with any civics education.

"Democrats can't make Trump look worse."

Well that's certainly true. But all Democrats have to do is keep the 52-57% who disapprove of the President by offering up a candidate that's simply "Not Trump". That's the biggest selling point for the majority of Americans. If "Not Trump" were a brand, it's what nearly 60% of American's would be buying today and we're going to witness one of the biggest landslide elections come 2020 as Trump loses by the largest margin in American history. And his pathetic 37% will whine, shriek and snivel with as much energy as they've been gloating with for the last two years. And they'll most likely scream "Deep State" and other nonsensical bullshit because that's what many of them are, nonsensical tin foil hat wearing whiners who sullied themselves getting in bed with white supremacists, the KKK and Nazi's all in their collective support of the worst human to ever to set foot in the oval office.

My mind was made up well before that just based on seeing every day what Scumbag was and that was confirmed by his history and the garbage that poured out of his filthy pie hole.  Since then all of my assessments of Scumbag have not just been confirmed but legally documented by the lying, the criminality of his choices of "people" to run his agencies and now the Mueller report that documented his obstructions and provided future prosecutors the evidence for indictments when Scumbag can no longer use his office to avoid the law.

Confirmation?  Everyone knew who and what Trump was before he was elected.  After all the angst driven protests, anti-Trump investigations, hair-on-fire media coverage, and spittle spewing Democratic outrage nothing has changed.  Trump is still the duly elected President.

Instead of expending so much energy trying to find confirmation, perhaps Democrats could better use their time and effort trying to develop alternatives.

No, his ideas are that his ego is more important than anything else, and that he's above the rule of law.  He has no coherent policies. 

Now, whether or not the Democrats can come up with someone who can beat him ... or whether the Republicans can find some decent primary challengers ... remains to be seen.

I find it rather ironic that the ultra right wingers who were screeching about the DNC's concerted efforts to make Clinton the nominee instead of Bernie don't seem to have any problems with what the GOP is doing to try to prevent any valid primary challenge to Trump - such as considering cancelling the GOP primary in South Carolina.  It's to everyone's advantage to have some decent, adult GOP primary candidates running against Trump, but then, both parties can do whatever they want, and they're concerned about getting and holding onto power, not actually about what's best for the country.

Really?  Trump's policy agenda has been to disentangle the United States from bad international deals (using his description).  And Trump hasn't been subtle in getting that point across.

Trump's policy agenda has been nationalist but not very isolationist.  Trump has plainly stated that United States participation in international affairs must benefit the United States more than any other country.  Democrats have tried to oppose that nationalist policy agenda by making globalist claims.  But those globalist arguments create a perception that Democrats are anti-American.  Even Democrat's domestic policy appears to put Americans at a disadvantage.  IMO that's why Democrats have been focusing more attention on personality flaws rather than policy ideas.  

Now, whether or not the Democrats can come up with someone who can beat him ... or whether the Republicans can find some decent primary challengers ... remains to be seen.

Democrats must worry about beating themselves.  Democrats need to rethink their pro-globalist policy ideas.  The mood of the country really has become more anti-globalist (and more nationalist).  Trump has buried Reagan at last.
