Biden writing on Medium is very "How do you do, fellow kids".

Seriously, though, I’m glad if he and Warren start taking swings at each other. Potentially allows Sanders to sit back and reap the benefits.

You can't be serious! Sanders is a burnt out nut job that makes the Trumpinator look like a Rhodes Scholar!

A great graphic on Warren's maths (not checked for accuracy or fairness):

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/11/06/us/politics/elizabeth-warren-policies-taxes.html

Those are the sort of numbers that would be needed for the US to decline less dangerously.

Let's see if they depict the maths of other candidates similarly.

WTF, but also lol:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/07/us/politics/michael-bloomberg-president-2020.html

I know being a billionaire can buy you a baseline of votes, but ... seriously? Who the hell would vote for this guy?

Bloomberg seems to have laboured under this delusion for years that, because he's a "centrist" (read: non-Bible-thumping centre-right oligarch) and has represented both parties, he's a perfect presidential candidate to unite the country. I think he's right on one front: he can bring Americans of all political backgrounds together to eagerly wish for his swift demise.

Meanwhile, if he can take a few points off Biden and fail to get anywhere himself in the process, that's a win-win in my books. Godspeed, Mike.

^ I hope Bloomberg runs just for the laughs. I cannot him appealing to the battleground states.

With regard to the wider race, I think it's down to Biden, Sanders or Warren for the Democratic nomination.

Overall, I still think Trump will win again in 2020 whoever comes up against him.

Buttigieg is hilariously running 3rd in some states, above Biden in Iowa Laughing

Seeing as people's reactions to the president at sporting events seems so important to people around here...

If Trump can't get uproarious applause at a College Footy game in Tuscaloosa, he's either dead or or there's a Confederate Government and he's suddenly become the "leftist" Union enemy.

Mind you, Alabama had an unexpected loss (which I watched, by the way - quite an enjoyable spectacle for a College footy game), so perhaps not everyone was quite so motivated by his presence.

That was exactly my point with the events in DC of all places and New York. I was just taking the piss showing the event in Alabama as indicitive of his popularity. Laughing

Umm...

(Still, she probably also "knew" who was going to be elected president in 2016, which is some comfort.)

Here's a question I was just wondering about: could Trump have won in 2016 as a third-party candidate (by triangulating the contest between him, Clinton and whomever the Republicans went with)? Common wisdom and precedent would suggest no, but then common wisdom never gave him a chance in the first place.

The base that turned out to him were certainly outside the Republican establishment to an extent, and probably could have been mobilised at least in part regardless. And it's entirely possible that he could have still mounted a strong challenge to, say, Jeb Bush after the primaries. I guess the biggest problem is that he wouldn't have had the debates (and ensuing battles with Republican rivals) to feed off, and thus probably would have received much less media oxygen. Still, interesting to think about.

It would've just handed the Presidency to Hitlery. Moderate Republicans and RINOs would've voted for the milquetoast Jeb or Rubio and the rest for Trump. Think Ross Perot and Bob Dole.

^ I suspect you're probably right on that. It would have been the walkover everyone predicted – unless, of course, Sanders took the opportunity opened up by the chaos on the other side and turned it into a four-way contest!
