Bye, bye, Bernie?

According to reports from June 2018, the DNC created a new rule that says anyone getting the party's nomination must be a member of the party at the time they announce their candidacy.

In 2016, Bernie ran as an Independent.  This rule appears to be a change to prevent exactly that in the future.

Bernie announced his 2020 campaign 3 days ago and is not a registered Democrat. Unless the party changes that rule again, he's wasting his time and other people's money (go figure  :rofl:).

Let's not forget that Bernie already was able to raise 10mil for his campaign...

With all these corupt dems running, Tulsi actually looks good compared to the rest (Bernie, Harris, Pochahantas).

If Bernie can't be nominated as a Democrat, and he decides to run as an Independent, Trump is guaranteed to win.

Bernie will run and get a 4th home as a consolation prize.  Im sure he uses the other 2 to house socialists and immigrants

Historically, any split voting always has helped the Democratic Party. But that's a history, not a rule. The socialists may change that this time around.

We have candidates every presidential election who aren't running under the 2 main parties.

Ross Perot appealed more to Conservatives. He was all about balancing the budget, gutting wasteful spending and reducing redundancy. The Liberals saw that as a threat to their handouts.

In the 2016 election, HRC blamed Jill Stein for taking her votes -- one of a million excuses why she lost.  If Jill Stein had syphoned off Trump's votes instead of HRC's, would it have mattered to the outcome? Were those voters clustered in states that Trump won or HRC won? Were there enough "Stein" votes in any state to swing the electoral votes to HRC?

Lots more variable than just the existence of a viable 3rd party candidate.

And I have absolutely no problem with that. Let democrats fight amongst themselves.

Democrats on DACA: Children of illegal aliens must not be punished for the crimes of their parents.

Also Democrats:  Descendants of slave owners owe reparations to descendants of slaves!!

Joe Biden officially kicked off his campaign today.

He used a fake news lie as the basis for his announcement video.

He's got lots of skeletons in his closet. It's only a question of whether another Dem uses them to knock him out of the Primary, or whether Trump will have those scandals to use against him in the general election.

Old, White Man  "Sleepy Joe" isn't exactly the savior of the "woke" party.

NPR spent lunch time ripping on Biden.  It was like listening to fox news.   I wonder which candidate the DNC has already decided will be the nomination? 

Hilarious watching them fall over each other to get to the head of the line.

It is an interesting dynamic at work. The DNC know they have to pick someone who can beat Trump and their best chance will probably be someone moderate. Problem is I think they know people like Bernie are pulling the left more left and they might not get a more moderate candidate.

It will get whittled down just like it did with republican candidates last election.

I think creepy uncle joe has the best chance.  He doesn't really have bat shit crazy ideas.  But it all falls into the degrees of separation, that the same people control the WH starting with Bush Sr.

Notice the GOP has no one yet.  Just shows that no one can stack up to what Trump has been doing.

Joe's platform and background is identical to Hillary and she didn't do so hot last time around

I'm not a doctor -- I don't even play one on TV -- and I don't say this in hopes it's true, but the clips of Biden giving a rally speech sounds like he's having a stroke.

Seriously, garbled speech is one of the main symptoms of a stroke.

Time mark: 3:17 for Joe Biden's "speech difficulties":
