Just my two cents: The good, the bad, and the ugly:
We must face reality. We must, as four more years of Trump will destroy this nation. So this is what I see and would love to hear where people think I have it wrong.
The good: I am glad to see Buttigieg do so well in Iowa as it seems the center right crowd are coalescing around him and he is the one candidate that can unit the party. The progressives would prefer Sanders and Warren, as we all know, but they would be fine with mayor Pete. He is smart as hell and could be a great president. But I doubt he can win as he has almost zero support among the Latino and African American folks.
The bad: The problem is, I think Sanders will win the nomination. I think he will win New Hampshire, and now that Biden is down and soon out, Nevada, Texas and South Carolina. Sanders is also way ahead in California.
But will the Center right crowd back Sanders if he wins?
The ugly: If those who oppose Sanders keep scaring people about him, that plays right into the hands of the Republicans and could cause us to lose to Trump.
As a note. Many people do not realize that the progressive's are monolithic and at least 50% of the dems and know whom they are, and whom they want for president and that must be taken into account and dealt with, somehow, without destroying our chances of beating Trump!
And there is no way they will ever back a Bloomberg who is a Republican who has talked about both cutting social security and privatizing it and backed Bush in 2004 and has only been a center right democrat for about a week. |
