2020 US Presidential Election Discussion (primary & general)
Article.
Can he be beaten this time around in the upcoming Democratic primary? There won't be superdelegates to stave off the Bernie-bro surge.

The media can still try to puch foward a centrist/corporate Dem like Biden, Cory Booker or Kamala Harris. Another way could be if all the progressive candidate dillute the votes between themself and a corporate one end up with the more vote but only Something like 25% to 35% of the total vote.

He has to face the GOP smear machine this time. If he can endure that and still look good to voters, he'll win. His age and his ties to socialist nations/leaders will hurt though. Some of the video and articles out there are really easy to spin.
It really speaks to the enthusiasm problem the other candidates have, though admittedly they aren't really household names yet. I'm rooting for Warren though.

Warren was my pick when the question about Hillary's running mate came up. She will have a big fight ahead, but it would be great if she can make it. She's one of the few who can get under Trump's skin.

And whether bernie's wife should be on trial or not, I want to see how Bernie and all the other dem presidential candidate handle questions regarding questionable/potentially embarrassing issue connected to the candidate and their family. if they can't handle these questions during the primary. The Trump and the republicans will mince meat out them in the presidential campaign.

Truth be told: I cannot wait until April comes and that all DNC candidates are on deck. I really want those debates to start early.
As for Trump, I'm not even sure he will survive long enough to go in the 2020 presidential election since anything can bring him down. He could be accused with criminal charges and thus impeached. The Mueller report could point out to him being an active asset for a foreign nation, which could also trigger impeachment. Most unlikely but not impossible, a few GOP politicians could do to Trump what Michael Heseltine did to Margaret Thatcher. |

Bernie's real test comes from his own party. Despite such obstacle, if he still manages to come out on top in the primary then I think GOP won't have as much success at maligning Bernie just because their candidate is Trump.

why is it a smear asking Bernie to release his tax returns and questions about his wife fraudulent loan application which bankrupt a college?
Also asking why Bernie hasn't condemn Maduro is not smearing.

To be clear, corporate media is against any progressive candidate. This post is an attempt at demonstrating the strong bias against progressive voices.
If you think Bernie has had a hard time against the establishment, such as when a CNN's town hall picked lobbyists masked as "normal" people to ask him smear questions, then Tulsi Gabbard is going through hell when compared to Bernie. For those that don't follow politics closely, Tulsi Gabbard is running for president. She quit her high ranking DNC member position in 2016 when she discovered that the democrats were rigging the game against Bernie Sanders. Her central campaign message is "Aloha" (aka love) (aka she is very firmly against interventionists wars), and the establishment literally hates her for it. You can see clear examples of the media's contempt when so called "liberal" tv hosts and new anchors use right wing talking points in order to try to undermine her foreign policy positions. Here are two clear examples in case you guys didn't know: Morning Joe: The view: The funny thing is that Tulsi checks all the gender politics boxes the DNC and corporate media keep peddling: - She is young (37 years old), - She is a woman. - She is a woman of color. - She is good looking. - She is diverse (first American Indian to run for president) - She is a veteran who was deployed twice to Iraq. By all accounts she should be darling of the DNC, but since she is a very skillful and articulate debater the media has resorted to do the same thing they did to Bernie in 2016; a media blackout. They have even made it harder for her to qualify to go on the debate stage, by demanding 65000 individual donors to her candidacy: https://twitter.com/tulsigabbard/sta...604034?lang=en Then there was Richard Ojeda, (https://voteojeda.com/) who also had very progressive views, and managed to do really well as a democrat in West Virginia against a pro trump congressman during the mid term elections. I had high hopes for this guy, but unfortunately, he quit the race, after he realized that he was getting near zero coverage from the press: Personally, I have always cheered for Bernie, but I must admit that I really like Tulsi Gabbard as a presidential candidate. It is my hope that these two candidates join forces in the upcoming elections.

She sounds awesome. The only fault with Gabbard that I can see is her good manners, the calm with which she is deflecting those TV brainlets.
If she went on epic rants about the fake news media like Trump, I bet she'd be more popular. That goes for Bernie, too.
