Title: Why are so many Democrats running for President?
Post by: Anthony on August 09, 2019, 09:39:45 AM
Do they think Trump is vulnerable?  Do they just want name recognition for other political office, cabinet positions, etc.?  Do they think they actually have a shot at the nomination?

Quote
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — Jake Poorman is exhausted. He's been trying to get every Democratic presidential candidate to sign a baseball, a souvenir of the wildest Democratic primary he's seen in his 60 years as an Iowan. He's gathered so many signatures — 16 — he had to get another ball.
That, coupled with the constant controversies out of Washington, has him a bit burnt out on politics.
"It's a lot of work," he bemoaned. "There's starting to be a bit of fatigue."

Iowans treasure the national attention that shines on them every four years when presidential candidates descend on the state, whose caucuses mark the beginning of an election year. But as virtually every Democratic contender swings through Iowa this weekend to participate in the famed state fair, even some die-hard Democratic activists are getting restless.

Who are the Far Lefties rooting for?  Warren, Bernie, Gay Pete, Harris?

If they ran a pile of pooh named "not trump", it would take the nomination in a landslide.

Running for President is a money making deal, even for those who know they have no chance of even being nominated.

Biden says there are THREE genders, then asked by a young girl what are they, he grabs her arm and says "Don't mess with me kid!".  LOL.  Now, that's an attitude I can get behind except for him grabbing her, and stating there are three genders.

Male
Female

I'm sorry.  I know I'm not supposed to take Biden's side because he is one of "them", but that little bitch deserved it.  Or worse.  I don't care if she is upset because nobody should treat her like that.  But it's ok if she treats someone like shit.

Oh, I wasn't saying he handled it wrong, other than grabbing her arm, but that he said there were three genders.  Yes, she deserved a snarky response.

How did she treat Biden "like shit"?

Asking a question of a presidential candidate is now wrong?  Yes, it may have been snarky, but it reveals Biden as being out of touch.

Asking a politician - you know, those virtue-signaling snakes in the grass - to name the genders that HE claims exist, is treating Biden like shit? 

Please.

Why?  He stated a position and was asked to clarify it.  He got snarky and physical.  He seemed to be very upset that someone would actually question his statements.  I don't see how she deserved that response.

As I said, he shouldn't have grabbed her arm.  He was reacting to being put on the spot like that.  Other than touching her, I don't think what he said was a big deal, and no more snarky than she was.  He was responding in kind.  However, a seasoned politician should expect that, and not react like he did and stoop down to her level. 

He should have been above it.  Again, my problem was more with the fact he said there were three genders.  WTF was he talking about?

Agreed.  As someone with over 150 years (or whatever) in politics he should be able to keep his cool when someone puts him on the spot.  That he lost it to a college student asking a reasonable question puts his mental stability in question.  Not to mention his constant daily mouth farts.

Ok.  I'll agree that you are all right about Biden.

I just didn't like the snarkly little snowflake bitch.  Waah.  Nobody should treat her like that. Waah.

And in answer to the question:

This isn't gong to be shown on the mainstream media.  However, if Trump had responded like that it would be.

Yep.  Just like the press does to trump all the time. 

Set up a "gotcha moment".  Then only report half of it.

I don't like it either way.

Oh silly.......you probably only reported half of it due to a time restraint!

I don't see him doing anything wrong. He grasped her arm to get her attention back as she was going away into the crowd.

There are so many running because they saw Bernie rake in millions of dollars in donations.

In 2015, his report net worth was less than $750,000 in assets.

https://www.politico.com/story/2015/07/bernie-sanders-wife-accounts-for-reported-assets-120261

Now it is around $2.5 Million.

So, politicians are greedy?  No, say it ain't so!   :)

I love how Bernie, Warren, and the other admitted socialists love personal wealth.  They also love FOSSIL FUELS, yet want to tell us our Cost of Living must go up drastically, and our Standard of Living must go down to:

1.  Save the Planet by a huge wealth and income redistribution scheme.
2.  Allow the funding of ILLEGAL ALIENS, and Open Borders.
3.  Give Reparations to Blacks, LGBT, and next will be women due to "income inequality".
4.  Take away guns from the law abiding only.

But that WAS the issue. You just don’t do that, especially in a crowd. Especially as a politician. Especially as a known groper. We don’t know how hard he tried to grip her forearm, or if he pulled her, but I don’t think this would have been a story if he didn’t do that. I’m on her side.

I'm on neither of their sides. I just don't see why she's all bent out of shape about it. Who says you don't do that in a crowd? When someone is drifting away and you're about to lose them what else was he going to do to regain her attention, grab a megaphone and yell toward her? It looked to me like he wouldn't have gotten her attention without grabbing her arm, she was moving away into the crowd. But I'm not on his side either, he obviously should have let it go with his first comment and not tried to rescue his image after fumbling his first answer. He's a moron. She is an oversensitive snowflake.

What else could he do?  Well, for one, he could just let it go.  No justification for grabbing someone.  It doesn't matter if she is a drama-queen or the most stoic person in the world.  Just let it go.

There are so many running because of ego. They all believe there’s no way Trump can possibly win, so whoever wins the Democrat primary will be president.

Same thing Hillary thought.
