Name Your Best DEM Tandem to Beat Trump in 2020

Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber: my choices.
 
Lol. Considering the beating they got in the midterms, it's amazing how many Trumpers have this need to tell Dems what's good and bad election strategy.

Oh, I love it, it's more entertainment than the Sunday morning comics. :2funny:
 
I agree. Biden/Harris seems like the most likely ticket. As weak a candidate as BIden is, I dont see any of the others beating him. BIden will then, of course, nominate a woman as his VP. Harris seems the most likely to me, but there may be bad blood brewing between them so he might just go with Warren. Either way, I think Trump wins. The idea that Biden brings back the white working class midwestern voter is laughable and I dont see either Harris or Warren helping matters

Biden would have beaten Trump in 2016. He's destroying Trump in polls.

Again, Trump lost the popular vote. He only won the electoral college because Dems didn't turn out for Hillary. You're way too overconfident given the fact. It's your confidence that is laughable.

The only way Democrats lose is if they nominate Hillary again. Trump will be remembered as a one-term failure of a president. Nothing will ever be named after him. His library will be empty. And when his time comes he will not be mourned.
 
Why the dodge? You can't find any posts from me criticizing the Electoral College.

The Trump Administration put together a committee, led by GOPPERS Mike Pence and Kris Kobach, to investigate Election Fraud. Did you miss the results?

"The now-disbanded voting integrity commission launched by the Trump administration uncovered no evidence to support claims of widespread voter fraud, ..."

The Voter fraud myth has been going on a long time in the right-wing sphere.

I remember when Bush'sDOJ fired seven well-respected U.S. Attorneys, dismissing some top Republican prosecutors because they had refused to prosecute nonexistent voter fraud.
 
Please express your opinion. Name your best DEM tandem to beat Trump!

I think Booker / Pete is the best ticket. It's a young ticket and Booker is actually a very inspiring speaker. He went to Oxford. He's very smart. Then you have Pete a really smart Harvard guy. Two young smart likable guys.

I think Booker gets the Black vote to show up in Detroit, Philidelphia, and Milwaukee. Low Black voter turn out in Democratic strongholds is a big reason why Hillary lost.

An alternative ticket is Biden / Harris. The Black community likes Biden (which is why he'll win). And Biden reminds everyone of the Obama years when we had a president who behaved like a president. He also does well in the Rust Belt.

Bernie is also well like in the Rust Belt. He can pull votes away from Trump. He can make the economic argument about corporate greed and how Trump is just a perpetuation of that. The problem is Bernie is not well known in the Black community. i

If I could choose a ticket just on the merit, it would be Mayor Pete / Warren
 
Have you heard the Warren..."I think I'll get me....a beer" recording? Some right wing radio local talk show guy plays it occasionally. Weirdly, I actually wish I could have a beer with her. Elizabeth...WTF? Oh, well, who cares. :lamo
 
My suggestion would be a Joe Biden/Michelle Obama ticket - leave out the far left loons even as a VP "compromise" or Trump will be re-elected.

If only your pipe dream would come true! Jerry Rubin once tried to get 50,000+/- people to levitate the Pentagon Building. I often thought they might have succeeded but for the few skeptics in the audience.

Did you note my revised ONE, TWO, THREE in the OP? I rated Booker #1 and Pete #2.
 
Too early to say in my opinion. Also my opinion, I hope biden doesn't get the nomination. The democrats, which I am one, are ******s. Too ****ing scared to stand behind what they really think and nominate a progressive not another middle of the road politician that basically won't change much.

I like pete for his even keel and thoughtfulness and warren for her policy ideas.
 
I hate to break this to you, but his "loony behavior" hasn't changed an iota. The economy will be the key, as always. As long as the loony left ignores the economy and touts programs that will cripple it, it will be Trump in 2020.

Seriously, a top to bottom national reorganization and a rejection of capitalism in favor of socialism, or Trump. Hmmmm....
 
...I plan on voting on who I think can win! The Trump/Pence ticket, again IMO, holds the advantage as long as the U.S economy continues to stay strong and grow. Trump's foray into distinctly racist territory this past week give the DEMs a chance to gain ground!

...Please express your opinion. Name your best DEM tandem to beat Trump!

You're going to do what every non-cult member should be doing, voting for whoever can win. I agree with many who know it's way too early to pick the best Democrat to beat Don. Frankly, I don't care who the Democrats pick as long as he/she is leading in an average of all mainstream polls.

Some will point to 16' as a reason to ignore polling, but historically, polling has correctly predicted the winner much more often than not. The one thing we need to keep in mind is the undercounting of the voters who refuse to vote for a non-white, they don't show up in the polling. These voters will play a huge role in the election and it's why the Democrats need a minimum of a 10 to 12 point lead to have any chance of overcoming their effect.

As a conservative poster in this thread correctly points out, Trump has been a racist from day one, everyone knew that. But he's wrong to believe it's a non-issue. If Don continues to display this level of racism, or continues to ratchet it up as he's done since he took office, there's a much better chance he'll lose. And is there any reason to assume he won't get worst?

They say his racism only increases the motivation of his racist and xenophobic supporters, but how much more motivated can they possibly get?? Does Don or the cult actually believe there're undecided racists sitting on the fence who need another disgusting display of his racism to get their vote?? I hope so.

No, the worse Don's racism gets, the more non-whites, women and non-racists will be motivated to vote to throw our racist domestic enemy out of office...
 
...Democrats should be voting for whoever best represents their views not name recoginition. The media will make sure everyone knows the name of whoever the democratic nominee is

You're right about Biden's name recognition being the reason for his lead and in normal times I would agree with you. But Don has taken us far from normal times. We need to vote for whoever has the best chance to win.

As far as the general election, it doesn't matter how far mine, or most non-cult members views differ from whoever the Democrats nominate. Their nominee's views will represent their views much closer than our racist public enemy number one...
 
...If I could choose a ticket just on the merit, it would be Mayor Pete / Warren

...I like pete for his even keel and thoughtfulness and warren for her policy ideas.

In a perfect world based on their views and where they want to lead us, I agree! The more I hear Buttigieg speak, the more I like him. I don't believe Warren could win the general right now, but in 4 or 8 years?...

Don’t you worry trump’s supposed victims are cashing their paychecks with a smile. Racism’s effect on people is over rated. Todays racists are blaming Trump and are running a guilt scam.

today's racists are already standing in line to vote for him
just like in '16
they are not known as the deplorables for nothing
 
Most competitive ticket: Biden/Harris

My preferred Ticket: Harris/Warren

Likely Ticket: Warren/Harris

Incorrect. Racism will ensure Trump wins the former Confederate states and a good chunk of the states out in the plains and Mountain West.

I actually think warren is playing it the smartest of all the democrat nominees. She got her buissiness out about not really being a native american early so it will be old news to bring up later and she is staying in the news just enough to not be forgotten about without risking overexposure too early. Imho she is the one Trump should be the most concerned about if she can navigate her way through the primaries and still be able to pivot to the center in the general. .

Warren has some good ideas, but they are too tax heavy and don’t cover their costs with productivity. This is where the animus between the parties causes the most problems. I
 
I don't think there are any best Dems to beat Trump

If Klobuchar had charisma, she'd be a decent candidate, even with the baggage that she treats her staff like peons. Lieyawatha pretty well scalped her standing with the DNA idiocy and Harris has lots of baggage too. The Dems need an Evan Bayh type candidate, not goofy gun banning, give illegals free health care socialists.

I was commenting on her campaign approach only not ber policy positions.

Really, you prefer to stick with Presidents who use the White House to stick cigars in interns *****s instead.

Nice whataboutism. Try again and actually address your *****-grabbing president this time. :)

Oh, I see. You don't like the shoe on the other foot. It isn't whataboutism, Its called hypocrisy. You condemn a president for foul language but don't want to discuss Clinton's actual affair in the oval office and his gross behavior.

We get it.
