US Election 2020

I want to see Bernie give it a go. I've got no idea if it would be close (polls suggest it would) or whether it would be a rout by Trump. But it's worth the try. I think he can actually win it.

I think he is the choice of Democrat voters, overall. I don't know if having the popular vote counts (I don't think so...delegate count or something)

While lots of people are worried he'll wreck something, I doubt he's any more capable than any other idiot president at wrecking stuff. Even the bulliest needs to get some teamwork happening.

Because of that, he isn't as big a threat to the country as some claim.

It's also why I think he'll get dumped in favour of a late-declaring candidate and Bloomberg. Or maybe Bernie/Bloomberg. Hell, if they could find a way to back each other, it would really seem a unifying thing for the Dems.

Doubt it though. I'm still hoping for that Presidential Throuple.

Bernie and Bloomberg? What have you been smoking?

They seem to represent opposite ends of the Democrat population.

If they could find a way to join up, they would be stronger than any other combination I can think of.

Even Warren/Sanders/Klobachar couldn't stand against it.

The answer to your second speculative sentence is in your first...

So you think my idea is ridiculous.

BIG surprise.

Tell me this, JimC: If, in 2012, I told you that Trump would be running as incumbent against a gay small-town mayor, and Bloomberg, would you think THAT was ridiculous?

The whole fucking thing is a bag of loons. Don't blame me, I'm just commenting from a safe distance...

In any normal country, Bernie would be considered Moderate-Centre.

In the US, he's a raving Commie.

According to some of our right-wing "press", he's also an anti-semite. I mean, he's the Jewiest man in America, FFS. Our conservatives are barking mad.

Tax the RICH! before they move the wealth to Cayman islands. They own stuff like stocks, whereas the middle class owns credit card debt:

The National Review has likened a tax on so-called "Wall Street speculation" to a de facto tax on savings, saying the Sanders plan "would mean paying $25 to the federal government every time you traded $5,000 worth of stock — or five times what you’d pay the typical online brokerage in fees. ... Over the long term, that imposes serious costs on actively traded funds such as the ones containing many Americans’ retirement funds."

Meanwhile, housing for everyone would cost $2.5 trillion over ten years, and would be paid entirely by a "wealth tax on the top one-tenth of one percent," raising a total of $4.35 trillion, according to Sanders' fact-sheet. Similarly, "universal childcare and pre-school to every family in America" would be provided with a wealth tax on the "top 0.1 percent," again raising more than $4 trillion.

Instead, Sanders' proposal said only that it would eventually establish a "national wealth registry and significant additional third party reporting requirements," buff up IRS funding and, and "include enhancements to the international tax enforcement." The plan would require the IRS "to perform an audit of 30 percent of wealth tax returns for those in the 1 percent bracket and a 100 percent audit rate for all billionaires," and would include a "40 percent exit tax on the net value of all assets under $1 billion and 60 percent over $1 billion for all wealthy individual seeking to expatriate to avoid the tax."

It's just like with Trump and GOP. Now dems strategize on how to stop a populist.
Bernie Sanders' rise has moderate Democrats wondering if it's too late to stop him:

Trump is blamed for Russian Interference in the election, but since he has been firing people, it seems like the problem is moving to other organizations.

Don't those dismissed folk all get contracts with 'news' agencies?

Trigger Warning!!!1! :

Yeahbut 2018. Trump should have lost both the House and Senate. Only Putin and Foxnews saved him.

Didn't Obama's SoS sell a bunch of Uranium to Putin, then get a HUGE cash payout in the form of 'speaking fees' and 'book deals'?

Yeah, Trump is the 'Russian Stooge' though. By arming their enemies, killing their Iranian allies, and opposing their pipelines, he has proven he is MUCH less of a 'russian stooge' than this random Democrat.
