Uncle Joe is ditching NH and moving on to SC. I expect a very poor showing for him tonight -- nm - decline Feb 11, 09:31 26

    - Ok. Find me a popular incumbent this election. - TWuG Feb 11, 09:53 1
      - "it's the democrats' fault who they nominate!" really has to be the worst kind of enabling/justification. -- nm - JackDawson Feb 11, 09:54
    - This line: "This election should be a bloodbath if it wasn’t for Trump. No need to help him by nominating from the fringes." is a joke, right? - JackDawson Feb 11, 09:52 17

        If you think that everyone that dislikes Trump is going to vote for Bernie that’s simply not true. -- nm - spamlet Feb 11, 10:01 13
        
        It’s def not but that’s not my point -- nm - JackDawson Feb 11, 10:33
        
        The point, I think, of nominating someone like Bernie would be to acknowledge the reality that the voter pool is not a zero sum game. - znufrii, human scum Feb 11, 10:08
        
        My feeling is, if in the face of Trump, someone needs to be motivated by the Dems nominee to vote against Trump, fuck em. They aren't - TWuG Feb 11, 10:06

        I doubt he can hold Minn given its demographics— it’s not that simple -- nm - JackDawson Feb 11, 10:33
        
        He won the primaries in MI and WI yes, but that's not the same as winning a general. - ty97 Feb 11, 10:14 3

        Right. You’re betting on a group that doesn’t historically vote coming out and voting while ignoring a group that historically votes. -- nm - spamlet Feb 11, 10:08 1
        
        I think that oversimplifies it too. -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 10:10
