Actor James Woods, banned many times from Twitter, said today that "Biden will choose Hillary as his running-mate then if they win he'll resign as his dementia worsens and hey presto, she fulfils her dream and then gets re-elected in 2024. Watch this space"

 

No, that was Bloomberg. Biden has almost certainly chosen Warren.

The grim predictability of all of the other candidates coalescing around a mediocre candidate, simply because they had the greatest chance of defeating Bernie Sanders is depressing to see. It's quite possible that we now merely get a repeat of 2016. Bring on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2024 I guess.

 

I do think it's quite possible that AOC will be the Democratic nominee and god-willing president, but I would personally expect for 2028 or 2032 for her years. She's already a politics superstar to the left and a boogieman for the right, and certainly the progressive future is looking bright with her and the rest of the Squad coming up, but I think the unratf***ing of the DNC will take a little bit of time. I don't expect them to nominate a progressive candidate for 2024, even if there is a good option and everyone can point to the fact that there were 8 years of Trump because of nominating two centrists in a row.

 

Plus because she'd only just be reaching the correct age during the 2024 process there might be a bit of an issue with people accepting it.

Has he, oh thought Kamala may be the one.

 

 

From Washington Examiner though.

 

"Actor James Woods told his large Twitter following yesterday that Joe Biden would pick Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential running mate and eventually resign as his dementia and speech worsened so she can become the first female president president."

You literally posted that yesterday. What's the point you're trying to make here?

Well Iz said it was Bloomberg who said that. So either he or the WA made a mistake.

Why are you always picking on me? :rolleyes:

Warren has now dropped out after all, so we're officially down to a 1 v 1 (ignoring the irrelevant sideshow of Tulsi Gabbard). She hasn't yet given an endorsement.

The rumours is that Biden spoke to her asking for her endorsement and offering her the VP position if she dropped out.

I would have thought it'd be the opposite if anything? Biden would probably want her to stay in as she (theoretically) takes more votes from Bernie than him.

 

I can't imagine Biden picking her as VP anyway.

Bernie's campaign made a fes misteps with the political operations game and that's all it took for Obama and the DNC to pounce and force everyone behind a man showing clear signs of worsening dementia. He is a figure easily controlled by the DNC too. Sigh.

 

I want Bernie to run 3rd party. Trump will win anyway against Joe, so may as well try and take down the electoral college once and for all and create a multi-party system while you're at it.

 

No, no, Biden is desperate for Warren as VP to try and unite the two parts of the party.

Officially-on-the-medal-table Gabbard and that one American Samoan delegate are going to come through at a contested convention, I believe. #tulsi4americaspresent

 

The next debate will be interesting, it'll be a head-to-head. But good call for Warren, she had nowhere left to go.

 

(enough with rumours about VPs to be quite honest, we won't officially hear about any of that for ages yet)

Just going by what I'm reading on CNN, NBC and ABC.

 

I think he's more likely to go for Harris actually.

I actually agree with your rumour that he probably forced her out, too. If she'd stayed in, progressives wouldn't have forgiven her. With her out and Joe winning anyway, now they will see her more favourably. They might refuse to vote for old sleepy Joe, but if his vp was Warren?? Fake progressive, but she can still get some moderate change through, palatable to the rich and non-rich alike. And they'll look at his mental decline and age and go, well, okay, it's a vote for Warren.

 

I think she won't endorse anyone just like in 2016. If she truly believed in her ideals, though, she would endorse Bernie and go around with him in a double whammy campaign.

To compare Hillary 2016 vs Biden 2020, a failure vs a potential/probable failure.

 

My prediction is that Biden will do only slightly better with white voters with no college education, hopefully halting the bleed, and perform just as well with well-educated, anti-Trump ex-Republican voters (disproportionately women) but making no progress in that group which should be trending Democratic. I think that Hispanic voters won't quite be as strongly Democrat as in 2016, and this could close off the Arizona/Florida route.

 

But most of all I think turnout will go down by a lot. I also think it will be down some amongst Trump's contingent too, I just hope by enough.

 

Maybe I'll remember this post in 8 months.

Wow Biden's polling at 61% in Florida now so he should take that on 17th and is tipped to take Michigan on Tuesday too. Think it really is all over.

Edited March 6, 20205 yr by Crazy Chris

Yeah and so was Hillary :P

 

It is what it is. Bernie's campaign made some massive missteps, which it couldn't afford to do wih the entire establishment against it.

 

I hope a new party forms out of the ruins of the democrats after 2020. Bernie won't start one before, unfortunately. The Progressive Party.

 

We can just hope that Bernie runs him close.

 

But seriously, sending a man with clear signs of dementia into a battle with Trump is just beyond contempt. The dnc and his family know about his mental decline, and yet got all in behind him.

Most people on other forums say that Trump will run rings round Biden in the debates and maybe hover near him like he did Hillary.

To hide Biden's cognitive decline and to protect him from a one on one, the DNC are canncelling events, citing corona, and have CHANGED THE ENTIRE FORMAT OF THE DEBATES!!! Now, they sit down and answer questions from the audience and don't engage each other. Omg.

Oh no that's not right. Trump should object strongly.

No, between Bernie and Biden. They don't care about losing to Trump. They can't pull any of this off vs Trump you see.
