Sorry but I'm just not feeling the Bern.
We currently have a President that I am 100% convinced was elected by many strictly because of his entertainment value. No doubt Bernie could/would be entertaining too but I'm just not interested.
At least Bernie has somewhat of a clue about how politics and the government work.
Best of luck to Bernie and his Berners. Seems like a lot of wasted time and effort but I suppose the same can be said about most (if not all) of the Democratic candidates.

How so, if Beto would tear down the wall(referring to his interview with Chris Hayes)? I guess we wouldn't need the Border Patrol anymore either? Doesn't make sense.

Klobuchar impressed me last night. I thought she did a good job on her CNN town hall special.

I never said that we don't need Border Patrol.

But, the wall is yours and Donny's wet dream.

Some spots need walls/barriers. Some don't.

Can we all agree on that?

But you're not a presidential candidate.

I hope Bernie gets beaten badly. My opposition, in no particular order, is based on the fact that he has created enough damage with the previous run, did next to nothing to fight for Clinton in mobilizing the Bernie-bots, and his insistence that he is an "independent". For the latter point, the Dems should overwhelmingly oppose his run in the Dem primary. If he wants to then he should run as a third party candidate (although it might be more damaging to the Dem candidate).

Klobuchar will pretty handily own Biden in the "centrist" candidate sweepstakes. But that won't get her very far.

Trump said he likes Bernie...but Bernie doesn’t know how to fix trade, poor Bernie.

Smollett might have scuttled her run right off the bat.

Well, that, and the weed.

I was actually sighing at the fact that she's commenting on a fake hate crime after lunching with the originator of the genre, but...it all works.

Chicago Mayoral Erection Tuesday. No one polling at more than 20%. Need 50% + 1 to be elected.
Run off for top 2 vote getters. I have little to no doubt there will be a recount and/or contested results.

I'm going to predict Mendoza and Daley finish top 2. Preckwinkle lands #3. Chico 4. Lighfoot 5. Vallas 6.
Will be interesting to see how Enyia fares. She does have decent support from African American "names" but I don't think she finishes top 6.
I'm still undecided who I will vote for.

Who ya got / who ya want?

Gery Chico
William M. Daley
Amara Enyia
Robert Fioretti
La Shawn K. Ford
La Shawn Ford
Neal Sáles-Griffin
Jerry Joyce
John Kolzar

Sherrod Brown.
Run a "progressive" and say hello to Trump 2.0. Brown has the genuine "populism" bonafides Trump cynically coopted in '16 with his apocalyptic nonsense spewed from Bullshit Mountain. He has the rust belt, rolled up shirtsleeve appeal of a Biden - but isn't 90 years old. Won re-election in an increasingly red Ohio handily. He'd turn off progressives? He has the baggage of being too cozy with Trump on trade and opposition to NAFTA? Populist bonafides. Democrats just want to get The Beast out of the WH. They'll vote for him.
This is NOT a "liberal" country. The independents and fence sitting, disaffected suburban Republicans are NOT interested in identity politics and free shit. You will NEVER hear "democratic" ahead of "socialist" when the propaganda machine gets ahold of Sanders or any other "pay for free day care by taxing millionaires" featherweight.
And don't run a woman. I'm sorry - the optics are what they are. You're going to be running against the love child of Andrew Dice Clay and Ted Bundy. There's no way a woman consumes as much oxygen or real estate. There's very little in the way of policy proposals that will be able to compete with a pathological liar saying everything is better than it's ever been in the history of the country. Call me sexist - I'm a realist.
I cast my first vote for George McGovern - the most decent man to have run for the presidency, and he didn't carry his own zip code against a venal filth-pig named Dick Nixon - another in a long line of Republican criminals. We are a nation of idiots - and Trump cornered the market. I had the liberal idealism beaten out of me long ago.
Sherrod Brown.
Because I'm always right, and I never lie.

I like Lightfoot, but I'm afraid she doesn't have a chance.
