What If Trump Has Driven Democrats Sane?

"The Joe Biden polling surge has raised the frightful specter of Democratic rationality.

What if Donald Trump hasn’t driven Democrats insane, sending them into a spiral of self-defeating radicalism, but instead made them shockingly pragmatic?

Biden’s early strength suggests it may be the latter, that the reaction to Trump is so intense that it has crossed some sort of event horizon from fevered fantasy of his leaving office early via resignation or impeachment to a cold-eyed, win-at-any-cost practicality".

Bernie Sanders: 'Beating Trump is not good enough'

"Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., says his presidential campaign is about much more than beating President Trump.

"That is not enough," Sanders said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" when asked about Democratic rival Joe Biden's approach to global warming.

Sanders argued that defeating Trump is only the first step".

Tell her to 'look at my record': Biden responds to Ocasio-Cortez's criticism on climate

"Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday pushed back against criticism from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez following a report that he planned to seek a "middle ground" solution to climate change.

"No middle ground," Ocasio-Cortez, 29, said at an event promoting the Green New Deal in Washington on Monday. The freshman Democrat from New York was addressing "conservatives on both sides of the aisle" who say her climate change proposal is too extreme or radical. And the youngest woman ever elected to Congress bemoaned the inaction of lawmakers who were warned 30 years ago about the potential impacts of global warming".

The 'AOC primary': Can Warren steal the prized endorsement away from Bernie?

"For progressive presidential candidates in 2020, there is perhaps no greater prize than earning the endorsement of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The 29-year-old freshman phenom, who has helped guide her party to the left with platforms like the Green New Deal and has built a social media following dwarfing that of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has not chosen a candidate in the huge field seeking the Democratic presidential nomination".

Breaking Big Tech

"In March, Elizabeth Warren rolled out an aggressive initiative to break up Big Tech. “Today’s big tech companies have too much power,” she wrote, “too much power over our economy, our society, and our democracy.” What have they done with this power? They have “bulldozed competition, used our private information for profit, and tilted the playing field against everyone else. And in the process, they have hurt small businesses and stifled innovation".

Warren's big applause line — abolish the Electoral College — gets picked up on the campaign trail

"The first problem is deciding whether it is a problem.

As laid out in the Constitution, the people of the United States don’t technically elect the president. Their votes elect members of an Electoral College, and each state is assigned a certain number of these “electors,” determined by its number of representatives in the Senate and the House, for a total of 538".

Joe Biden slammed for 'inappropriate' comment at town hall event

"Former vice president and 2020 presidential hopeful Joe Biden raised eyebrows after making a comment many called “inappropriate” during his appearance at a Houston, Texas, town hall hosted by the American Federation of Teachers on Tuesday. During the event, Biden took a question from a young girl in the audience about divisions in the U.S. “What I’m going to do, is if you give me an address, I’m going to write you a longer answer and tell you the exact things I’m going to do, OK? Promise?” he said. “I’ll bet you’re as bright as you are good-looking.” Biden then asked the girl what her favorite subject was in school, to which she replied: “journalism, I guess.” He joked that he should “be more circumspect” in his answers as he took her by the hand and led her over to the section of the room where members of the press were stationed. "

"Then, Biden put his hands on the young girl’s shoulders, saying, “The reason who we are who we are is called a free press.” Biden’s behavior has previously come under scrutiny after multiple women came forward with accusations of unwelcome physical contact or interactions with the former vice president before he announced that he would run for the White House in 2020. He addressed the allegations in a video posted to his Twitter account in April. “Social norms have begun to change, they’ve shifted and the boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset and I get it. I get it,” he said. “I hear what they’re .saying, I understand it, and I’ll be much more mindful. That’s my responsibility"

http://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/joe-biden-slammed-inappropriate-town-191815599.html

If Biden doesn't get a grip on where and when to put his hands on someone, I fear it's going to hurt him in the end.

At 2 percent, can Cory Booker overcome the polls?

"Sen. Cory Booker’s presidential campaign has been steeped in the rhetoric of the civil rights movement. The New Jersey Democrat has cast his run as a quest to confront injustice and unite Americans behind a “common purpose.” But before Booker can overcome inequality and discord, he needs to face daunting early poll numbers and a perception that he is falling behind".

http://news.yahoo.com/can-cory-booker-overcome-162105526.html

I just don't think Booker is gonna make it. It's really between 6 I think. Biden, Sanders, Warren, Harris, O'Rourke & Buttigieg. The rest will be gone by Super Tuesday.

Warren grilled on Native American ancestry claims: 'You're kind of like the original Rachel Dolezal'

"During a Friday interview on “The Breakfast Club” radio show, Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren was grilled about her past claims of Native American ancestry.

Co-host Charlamagne Tha God asked Warren how she was told that she had Native American blood.

“I grew up in Oklahoma. I learned about my family the same way most people learn about their family, from my momma and my daddy and my aunts and my uncles, and it’s what I believed. But I’m not a person of color. I’m not a citizen of a tribe, and I shouldn’t have done it".

Kamala Harris Appearance Interrupted By Protester Who Grabbed Her Microphone

Nope. Just another leftist loon wanting to abolish factory farms. Back in the day, a lot of farmers were encouraged to incorporate for tax reasons. Many now, are called factory farms because of that.

Your bias is showing when you jump to conclusions before all the facts are available. Was just a more left wing protester who wanted a moment of fame for his cause!!!

You shouldn't tell others where they are wrong and then turn right around and do the same thing yourself. You have no idea whether this guy is left, right or somewhere in between. Since my last post on this subject I found out this guy is one of those animal rights activists.

But either way, who have been the ones doing things like this? Trump followers. Who has been the ones trying to kill Democrats/liberals? Trump followers. And that's just the truth of the matter. So, when something like this happens, the first thing people think, Trump follower.

Fact, this could have been much worse than what it was. He could have very well jumped right up on stage and shot her before anyone could have done anything.

Biden faces stiff criticism from Democrats for skipping California convention

"SAN FRANCISCO – Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden decided to skip this weekend’s California Democratic Primary, but he was hardly forgotten.

The former vice president was the only top tier White House hopeful to take a pass on the convention that draws some of state party's most active supporters. Instead, Biden headed to Ohio to speak at an event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots".

This was really kinda smart. He knows which way California going to vote. So, he went to one of the tougher states for a Democrat to win, Ohio.
