Web, you were the only one here who called it right, of course now some say they knew it would be so because Hillary was a flawed candidate
Maybe where you live/work, etc, you get a better perspective on reality, a better pulse, as its a fact where one spends his time, living, reading, working, etc, taints and persuades their reality.....
I was certain Trump would lose, and also, Bernie was getting my attention, boy has that changed
You bring up some very good points to consider, thanks.
I think Harris could bridge lots of those folk together, in the party, but I feel she could not reach the "blue collar" voters, the ones Obama I think called bible and gun folk, and the race card, even with Black folks, given the fact Trump's approval numbers with them has risen, has been beating (race card) to a point that many folks are just tired of its hollowness....
I know in the scope of things, my experience is moot, but when I left Boeing last year, I had a half dozen of close Black guys I worked with....
I would say it was about 3 and 3, those born in the states, and those who came from another country, but they were all for Trump....
When querying them the consensus was they did not like being "lumped" together by their race, and told they needed others to assure their success in life. These guys were very independent and strong willed, and determined to be in charge of their own destiny....
They were a inspiration to me. They gave me my own retirement party, just these Black guys, I was moved!
As to the other 20 plus egomaniacs.....
As evidenced here by a very unbiased news organization
They know that is a problem, and they are trying to provide solutions, but will these folk listen, or go and pout, taking their ball and going home?
I think too, to me this is baffling, the two top candidates are old white guys, lump their numbers together, for only one can win, and that is a insurmountable number to the rest of the field....
How can that be, old white men are so republican....????
CNN anchor Chris Cuomo offered the growing field of Democratic candidates advice on how to defeat President Donald Trump in 2020.
Cuomo began by pointing out the "obvious problem" with the entry of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio in the presidential race which marks the 23rd candidate running and jabbed the mayor for having less support than "the New York Jets."
"At least half this field is seen as having no path to the nomination and while there is a benefit to diverse voices and competing ideas, the goal is to win," Cuomo told the Democrats. "So the question is whether making history for the most people in a primary may attribute to them making history for losing to one of the least popular and most divisive presidents in modern history."
The "Cuomo Prime Time" host urged the Democratic Party that they have to "figure out what it is about and then who it is about."
He then offered a "proposition."
Let's just call out an obvious problem: 23 Democrats running. At least half this field is seen as having no path to the nomination. While there is a benefit to diverse voices and competing ideas... the goal is to win.
"One of the biggest criticisms of this president is actually a criticism of his administration, how they govern, complaints about how his cabinet is not just 'only the best.' It is almost none of the best and mostly 'the rest,'" Cuomo continued. "So what if this group of Democrats were to put the 'we' before the 'me?' And after this first phase of everybody trying to figure out who's better than whom and rising to the top and changing the current polls, what about after that? When they go into the convention, they all organize themselves into a slate, a truly united front. Voters aren't just voting for POTUS and VPOTUS but also picking an attorney general, secretary of defense, treasury secretary, whatever they can fill out in a responsible way."
The CNN anchor reminded them that the cabinet would "still have to be confirmed" but "at least you would have people being vetted in a real way" by the media.
Cuomo also acknowledged that his idea was "far-fetched," yet pointed to New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker's deputy campaign manager making a donation to New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's campaign to help secure her slot on the debate stage and told his viewers that's a "sign" of solidarity.
"23 Democrats want to be president, only one is going to get the nomination. Whoever it is, they're going up against an incumbent with die-hard supporters," Cuomo said. "If the Democrats' goal is to retake the White House, they have time, but it has to be well-spent... Is this party and these people here about a pageant and personal gain or about really getting a win for the team?"The question is, will people listen to this advice, and will CNN still even be in business, in 2020
