CNN is still showing Buttigieg with a narrow lead. What are you looking at?

I may just throw my support at him because he would represent a changing f the guard.

Sanders won the popular vote.  Buttigieg won more delegates.

I was super close, essentially a tie.  It was also a total mess.

On to New Hampshire.

I don’t think the DNC is going to pick him. That might hurt his chances in the general election.

Yes, not being in the general election would certainly hurt his chances of winning it, but that wasn’t really the spirit of the question.

Bernie does not have the same presence Trump does. I would say old Biden did but not the Biden we see campaigning. Body language and tone. How you walk into a room and without saying anything, let everyone know who is running the show. Bernie and Warren do not have it. Pete sort of has it. Biden I think is suffering from a neurological issue because he stumbles and slurs his words. May be why he is not as confident on stage as he use to be.

Fair enough.  Trump certainly does have a strong personality that obviously resonates strongly with some people, but also repells others. I think you are right about that.  I would be surprised if Trump has ever walked into a room without saying anything though.  Lol

I don’t really see Buttigieg as having a significantly stronger presence than Sanders.

Biden, I honestly think, is just suffering the effects of being old.  He is 77.  Most people start to slow down by that age.  I don’t think he has a diagnosable neurological issue.

Some people thought HRC had a medical issue. I lean more toward old age. Biden though I don’t know. I thought he was going to be Obama 2.0 in terms of public speaking. 

Buttigieg has good posture which is why I say he kind of has it. What he lacks in presence he makes up for with how he talks. 

This is all subjective to the viewer though.

Biden almost died years ago from a brain aneurysm. That and being 77 will take it's toll..Trump hasn't worked a day in his life.It's easy taking over a room when you got a big mouth and are an ***** all the time.He's been that way ever since he started spending Daddy's money. Terrible leadership skills.How in the heck do you bankrupt multiple casinos?

I heard something about HRC possibly running as Bloomberg’s VP.

Someone I was talking to over the weekend mentioned that.  Ugh.  She lost to the biggest ***** head in all of politics.  What benefit could she possibly bring to the ticket?

 

And when are the two parties going to stop trotting out retirement age candidates?

As soon as Gen X hits retirement age, retirement age will be too old to be electable.

Anyone watch the debate? Thoughts?

Expand  

I can't watch these game show format debates with so many "contestants."  I couldn't do it four years ago and I can't do it now.  And intra-party debates are annoying anyway.

I think Chris Cillizza wrote a very good summary of the debate on CNN. the only thing I would disagree with her on is regarding Warren, I don't think she did as well as Chris did.

If Biden gets the nomination I'll vote for him. If it's Sanders, I'm voting for Trump. Hopefully the Dems don't ***** this up today.
