It's crazy. It's so obvious. And they probably aren't going to do it.ousdahl wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 6:51 pm More and more, I think dems are best to go all in on Pete.
He’s not over 70. He has that small town midwestern thing going for him. And if and when Trump’s campaign rhetoric turns to red meat for the base, that seems more likely to backfire than any other of the inevitable personal attacks.
Re: who ya got?
If they can isolate this to Pete vs Bernie, Pete will win. And he'll win the Presidency.
But Klobuchar, Biden, and Bloomberg may end up handing this to Bernie.

Re: who ya got?
Pete is killing this town hall right now. He's so much better than any of the other front runners and it's not even close.

Since the Iowa caucus, Pete's support in NH has increased significantly in this poll:

Re: who ya got?
Well, I don't like Biden and both Warren and Sanders are too far left and too extreme financially for me so either Pete, Yang or Klobuchar are my only real option. By the time my primary gets here, others will have chosen who I get to "choose". We'll see.ousdahl wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 6:51 pm More and more, I think dems are best to go all in on Pete.

Re: who ya got?
Yang has 0% chance of beating the front runners.
Klobuchar might be wise to try to pair up with Pete, because I don't think she can catch up at this point. Those 2 together would pull enough of us reasonable middle of the road people to steal a few red states from trump and crush him.

You didn't mention Bloomberg.

Too old. Too rich. Zero chance he is still in it by the time my primary comes around so no sense investing any time into studying his platform.Grandma wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 9:33 amYou didn't mention Bloomberg.

Re: who ya got?
Doesnt feel like they need to pull middle of the road people. Not many middle of the road folks I know have any sort of interest in voting for Trump. Those that support him at this point are the diehards who will vote R no matter what.IllinoisJayhawk wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 8:16 am Yang has 0% chance of beating the front runners.

Seems like the Dems just need to not ostracize the far left supporters. Warren and Sanders have tried to figure out a way to pitch their platforms as normal but I am not buying it. If someone more central like Pete or Biden win the nomination and the far left still shows up to vote, Trump is done.
Re: who ya got?
Do dems really need to worry about not ostracizing far left supporters?
Are they really gonna loose the far left vote to anyone else? Third party nobody? Bloomberg? Trump??

Not true. I am middle of the road. I have no interest in voting for dt.

Fair and honest answer. Thanks.twocoach wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 1:02 pmToo old. Too rich. Zero chance he is still in it by the time my primary comes around so no sense investing any time into studying his platform.
My worthless opinion, there is no one Trump would take more pleasure in beating and more pain in losing to. Like I said - worthless opinion.

You seem to agree with me that Pete doesn't need to pair up with Klobuchar to win over the middle because he would already have your vote between Pete and Trump.
Sanders and Warren are the ones who need to worry about who they choose as their VP if they win the nomination. They are the ones who stand the furthest from the middle of the road folks and thus, would need a good VP choice, not Pete.
Re: who ya got?
No matter who bs or ew select for a running mate, I could not vote for them.
