Babel 17

I’ll laugh my ass off if Trump announces that he’s decided that Bernie needs and deserves Secret Service protection. IIRC it was roughly at this time in 2016 that Obama gave it to him. Probably it was after New Hampshire, but close close enough.

The battle would be for the swing voters, those who saw something positive in both candidates. Bernie,…[Read more]

Friggin’ amazing if Gabbard really is at 5%, with her hardly having a presence there. She and Yang are getting the protest voters, and apparently there are a lot of them. That many in Iowa indicates to me a larger national presence than I suspected.

They won’t come out strong for a Biden, or an Obama pick, and the party better wake up to that.

@ohiobarbarian

If the press strongly talks up the possibility of Sanders having a very important victory, then voters might take a harder look at their choices. And that could hurt Buttigieg who could become seen as less likely than Klobuchar to be the nominee, or a VP (he’d only have worked as the VP pick with Harris or Warren, he is not really…[Read more]

@enthusiast

The House impeachment managers could decide that it’s worthwhile to have weeks of fighting, negotiating, deposition gathering, compromising, and witness testifying, in their near certain to fail attempt to make Mike Pence President of the United States.

Though that could hurt Warren more than Bernie, who has amazing surrogates on the…[Read more]

It would be enormously important if Klobuchar got over 15% in Iowa, while Warren got under 15%. Afaik, under their rules, Warren supporters would have to find another candidate to get behind, under 15% gets you no delegates. Though now they’re trying to pull something that might let a person like Bloomberg get one.

Bernie imo would get at least…[Read more]

But-but-but, now Trump knows this about Biden, and then he might realize that he could make lying about Social Security, and being a warmonger,  the things people associate with Biden!!! He could even play the videos showing Biden’s lies vs. the truth!!!

TRUMP COULD USE THIS IN THE SWING STATES, WITH SWING VOTERS!!!
Why did Bernie have to expose…[Read more]

Clinton loyalists to write in Meghan McCain’s name?

She has to consider another offer first. A preliminary dusting off of orange Cheetos dust revealed the words “Pardon”, and “ideas for Clinton Foundation 2.0”, so of course she’s intrigued.

My former canvassing partner from 2016 pointed out the obvious that I skimmed over, that being the rigging of the lineups for the first two nights.

News: CNN will host eight New Hampshire town halls ahead of Feb. 11 primary:

Feb. 5:
Joe Biden
Elizabeth Warren
Andrew Yang
Tom Steyer

Feb. 6:
Bernie Sanders
Pete Buttigieg
Amy…

I think Patrick will be Obama’s sock puppet, and there to admonish voters to not embrace the Sanders movement. He’d be speaking with Obama’s voice.

That CNN would be part of this scam, this fraud of a process, show that 2016 wasn’t their low water mark, they’re sinking further. This is a move to take out Sanders by basically…[Read more]

Obama’s pal Deval Patrick is effectively at zero there as well as New Hampshire? Huh, so it’s almost like the Obama and Clinton loyalists are united in defeating the party’s progressive wing from making a difference, and having Patrick, and even Steyer, on stage at the upcoming CNN town halls in new Hampshire is a scam.

I am now seriously…[Read more]

See her in a CNN Town Hall from 2019. She’s amazeballs, and would embarrass and shred the establishment Democrats on stage, and that’s why CNN panicked at the idea of having her. Warmongering would be an issue, front and center, and that would be it for Biden, and Warren would tremble so hard trying to answer it would be sad. And Gabbard would be…[Read more]

It came. :)

They’re trying to silence us.

Here are the facts: Our campaign in New Hampshire is stronger than ever, and now the establishment media is going to extreme lengths to shut Tulsi out. First they ignore us, then they smear us as Russian assets and bots, and NOW CNN is flat-out denying Tuls…

@kentankerous

Yup!

She has to have the title of most loathed politician ever, in America. If she shows up at the convention it will mean she and Trump now see eye to eye on how Her various legal issues are to be treated going forward, something she’d never get from Sanders.

If she gets significant speaking time then that will mean the deal was sweetened, with Trump…[Read more]

Fans of Star Wars know what happens when a repressive establishment tries to tighten its grip on dissidents. Stop telling us who we’re permitted to listen to.

I’m seeing Yang supporters, and avowed Sanders supporters, calling this out.

I’ll donate a small amount to either candidate in direct response to anything they post on social media, using the donation link I’m sure will be near. :) Lol, that’s how we can communicate directly to them. I did that with a Tulsi ad that was running on either Rising or…[Read more]

If Yang calls them out for this he’ll do well by doing good. He’d come across as principled and brave, and his campaign would get more attention.

It would be better if he went first, and Sanders followed on his heels, so he didn’t suck all the air out of the room by going first and making anyone else risk being portrayed as a me too.

Great…[Read more]
