Politics 2020 Field - DNC

[jonnyboy]

Have you really sunk so low as to watch Fox News? There ought to be a law against this sort of thing.

Only when I wanted to see the few decent Dem candidates have a chance to be interviewed. But the fun of a 20-some candidate race has been whittled down the very thing liberals claim to be fighting against: Two old rich white straight men. Too funny, couldn’t write a more ironic screenplay. The network for Republican boomer racists was the only one letting brown candidates like John Yang and Tulsi Putin have a platform to spread their anti-war and pro-healthcare hate speech.

REPUBLICAN MAYOR DROPS DONALD TRUMP FOR JOE BIDEN IN KEY SWING STATE OF MICHIGAN

With Tuesday's Democratic primaries hours away, former Vice President Joe Biden has found an unexpected supporter in Sterling Heights, Michigan Mayor Michael Taylor, a Republican.

"Since announcing my endorsement of Joe Biden I have received an outpouring of encouraging messages and believe even more strongly that Joe Biden is the candidate who can defeat Donald Trump in Macomb County and the State of Michigan," Taylor said in a statement to Newsweek on Monday.

While Taylor, a life-long Republican, voted for President Donald Trump in 2016, he said he would cast his ballot for Biden this year because Trump is "deranged."

"I think Joe Biden is the candidate who can unify all of the Democrats and he's the candidate who can appeal to moderates and Republicans like me who don't want to see four more years of President Trump," Taylor said, according to the Chicago Tribune on Monday.

"I remember thinking this Trump thing is insane, but when it was down to him and Hillary, I kind of said, 'Well, you are a Republican, and yeah he's nuts, but maybe he'll get better and you know he's going to lower taxes," Taylor said. "I slowly talked myself into it. 'He can't seriously be this deranged once he gets in there,' and he's even more deranged now than I thought then. So, I take the blame. I voted for him."

Sterling Heights lies within Macomb County, Michigan. During the 2016 presidential election, Trump won Macomb County by roughly 54 percent. Trump's opponent Hillary Clinton received 42 percent of the popular vote.

I hardly watch any news anymore and I could tell you what channel amongst the cable stations has the best ratings.

Brit Hume warns Biden's gaffes suggest former VP 'is losing his memory and is getting senile'

By Samuel Chamberlain | Fox News

Brit Hume on the implications of Joe Biden's profanity-laced confrontation with a Michigan voter

Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Tuesday that a series of slip-ups by former Vice President Joe Biden during his campaign for the Democratic nomination suggest that the 77-year-old former senator, "like so many people his age, is losing his memory and is getting senile."

"I don't think there's any doubt about this," Hume said. "I have traces of this myself. I know what it feels like. Sometimes you're confused, sometimes you can't remember, 'What are you supposed to do the next morning?' -- and I'm not running for president and it's probably a good thing I'm not."

Hume added that Biden's recent performance on the campaign trail is different from his long history of gaffes: "If you've known him long enough, you kind of get used to that and you think they're kind of funny and they're just part of who he is and they're kind of harmless ...

FLASHBACK: BIDEN SAYS HE WAS VP AT TIME OF PARKLAND SHOOTING IN LATEST CAMPAIGN GAFFE

"More recently, however, he's begun to forget things," Hume added. "He didn't know what state he's in, he couldn't remember where he was when he met the Parkland [Florida] students, when he said he was in the White House."

Hume also commended on the now-viral confrontation between Biden and a Michigan auto plant worker over the Second Amendment Tuesday, saying that also showed a different, more troubling side of the Democratic frontrunner.

"I’ve known him a long time, and he can sometimes work himself up into kind of a passion in speeches and so on when he was arguing about issues and so on in a debate," Hume said. "But I don’t remember him exploding at voters like he did in this incident today, and hurling profanity the way he did, telling the guy he was ‘full of spit,’ except he didn’t say ‘spit’. That’s something new."

Hume warned that Democratic voters and officials distracted by the effort to prevent Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., from gaining the nomination may have overlooked Biden's difficulties up until now, but will find them impossible to ignore soon.

"I think that over time, the danger for him [Biden] and for his party is that he may say something that’s so outlandish and so suggestive that his cognitive faculties have failed him, that Democratic voters are going to say, ‘Oh, my Lord, what have we got here?’" Hume said, adding: "... Under the pressures of a campaign, who knows what will happen?"

I dont think its a joking matter at all Ive had multiple relatives die not even knowing who they were anymore. There are times I think Bidens mind is slipping, and honestly its tough to watch. I hope Im wrong though. We all speak incorrectly here and there it happens.

Having personally watched how quickly dementia develops, Biden will likely be removed from contention before November, unless his wife and son are evil incarnate and feel nothing for him. As a doctor, it's disturbing she hasn't done something yet.

I imagine Hillary will be his designated hitter.

TRUMP 2020 LANDSLIDE!

It's funny how the right wing has decided "dementia" is now their best bet and they have all glommed onto it it, as have their minions here and elsewhere.

People want a respite. They need a breather. They want competence. They want kindness. They want the country they knew. They will happily take that with Biden, even if he misspeaks sometimes.

I don't know if he has dementia and I really hope his mind isn't slipping politics aside, watching that part of life from seniors is tough. There are definitely times I wonder about it with Biden, but it's not like Trump is this epitome of functional communication.

No one is going to get any of that from politics if that's what you're looking for politics is the wrong place to get it, in fact, for the most part, separating yourself from politics as much as possible is your best bet to find any of it.

It's not a case of getting that in perfect form, it's just wanting to get it better than we've currently got and that seems a certainty to be able to do.

Counterpoint from an article today:

Meanwhile, a small group of senior aides had been pushing Sanders for months to go harder on Biden.
The problem: Sanders actually liked him. Personally, they got along better than he ever did with Hillary Clinton, aides have said. (The former vice president falls into an exclusive category for the Vermont senator: the people who were nice to Sanders before he mattered, as two aides put it recently.)

Yes, he is most certainly a pathological liar.

He has lied dramatically throughout his career in the swamp about "being smarter" than anyone who questions or criticizes him. He seems to have a fear of being found to be lacking intelligence.

He lied about his degrees, claimed he was an honor student when he nearly flunked out, plagiarized speeches, lied about meetings with people he never met, places he never was, jobs he never held, crimes he claimed he didn't commit...

None of that really matters now that he's clearly got dementia and is unfit to drive a car let alone lead the free world.

 

[MARIS61]

DNC going to use the CV to shield Senile Joe from further debate, knowing he's just an appearance or 2 away from someone petitioning a court to have a medical welfare check on him.

Meet the Trump Fan Accused of Registering Democrats as Republicans
A woman in Florida charged with 10 felony counts of submitting false voter registration forms had filed hundreds of forms before her arrest.

Wherever crowds gathered in the flat, lake-dotted swath of Florida between Orlando and Ocala, it seemed that Cheryl Hall was there: clad in red, white and blue, clipboard in hand, signing up new voters at the Mount Dora Arts Festival, the Ocoee Founders’ Day party, the Taste of South Lake fair in Clermont and more.

“She just seemed like a diligent, hard-working lady,” said Alan Hays, the supervisor of elections in Lake County, who appears in a photo on Ms. Hall’s Facebook page, his arm firmly clasped around her shoulder. “No one suspected anything was amiss until we got phone calls from people.”

Something was indeed amiss: Ms. Hall, a 63-year-old and very ardent Republican whose ranch house in Clermont sports life-size cutouts of Donald and Melania Trump and a MAGA poster in the window, was charged last week with 10 felony counts of submitting false voter registration forms. On at least 10 forms traced to Ms. Hall, officials said, the party affiliations of already-registered Democrats and Independents had been switched to Republican. More than 100 others that may be tied to her contained missing or bogus data such as wrong birth dates.

Ms. Hall was a canvasser for Florida First Inc., a recently created nonprofit that is financed at least in part by a dark-money group formed by Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign manager, Brad Parscale, and other Trump associates.


The Florida nonprofit group, which has filed more than 30,000 new registrations according to the Florida secretary of state, is part of a $20 million bid by the group, America First Policies, to register Republicans in battleground states before November. State officials have said there is no evidence so far of widespread fraud in Florida First’s voter-registration efforts.
