As he pursues the nomination of a party he hasnt even deigned to join over the long term, Sanders is coming to Elizabeth Warrens home state for two pre-Super Tuesday stops Springfield on Friday, Boston on Saturday in the hope of dealing her a campaign-ending defeat. Hell be in Minnesota on Monday, with the same goal regarding Amy Klobuchar. Warrens campaign is already facing tough times, while Sanders is ascendent among the progressive voters the two are vying for. Leading in both California and Texas, he is expected to rack up some big victories on Super Tuesday, while Warren will likely be left to try to put a shine on more discouraging results. But thats just another reason why his raid behind her political lines is an affront to his Senate colleague, supposed friend, and left-wing ally. Any advantage he gains would come at the cost of her dignity. After all, its not just that a loss in her home state would likely mark the end of Warrens presidential hopes. It would also visit a major humiliation upon her in the process. Sanders, however, is perfectly willing to do that to a fellow progressive senator, one who has been so gentle in her campaign criticism of him that their left-lane rivalry has barely risen to the level of a political pillow fight. That despite the endless targets of opportunity his record presents. It is very disrespectful and disappointing that after so many years of collaboration, he would come in to try to embarrass Elizabeth in her own state, says Phil Johnston, former chairman of the state Democratic Party and a Warren supporter. Its also revealing. Has he no shame? --- Have you tried thinking rationally? <cite>Intro2Logic posted [p:935017296] in It's bad f...

Damn_Underscore 02/29/20 2:53:15 PM #31:	The DNC really messed up this primary with their mainstream candidates. Biden is a bargain version of Kerry/Hillary and Buttigieg is a bargain version of Obama. If there was another Obama in this primary or if Biden wasn't so uninspiring (and that's saying a lot when your competition is John Kerry and Hillary Clinton), Bernie would probably not be winning. Bernie will get the plurality of votes at this rate and if they try to steal the nomination from him then Trump will win the election. --- Shenmue II = best game of all time Shenmue = 2nd best game of all time <cite>Damn_Underscore posted [p:935042688] in It's bad f...
