Over sixty failed law suits and 50 certifications later, and aside from the stunt-quality, Josh Hawley steps ahead of Tom Cotton in a move to take hold of the Trump base. All he needs is a bit of QAnon numerology. The reality is that it is definitely a stunt for...

Here’s the latest news courtesy of Qunnipiac University’s latest poll: If the election for president were being held today, former Vice President Joe Biden would receive 49percent of the vote and President Donald Trump would receive 41 percent, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll of registered voters released...

I’m liking this piece from Politico: Amy Klobuchar is kicking off her next act. Two months after ending her presidential campaign and amid vice presidential speculation, the Minnesota Democrat is launching a new effort to help direct money and campaign help to down-ballot Democrats. The endeavor — called the Win...

Received this e-mail yesterday from American Bridge 21st Century PAC in support of former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign: Democratic voters are speaking loud and clear: they want Joe Biden to be our nominee. That’s why at American Bridge, we’re rallying behind Joe Biden along with top Democrats like...
www.scribd.com/… A Fox News Poll taken March 20-24 shows a steady national presidential race with Joe Biden leading Donald Trump by 49% to 40%, about the same as the 8 point lead he had in the February poll and the 9 point lead Biden had in January. In fact, in...

When political maven and American University history professor Allan Lichtman predicted Donald Trump would win the 2016 election, I laughed … nervously. When it turned out he’d been right, I wanted to crawl into a hole and die. When he predicted Trump would be impeached, I was ready to stick my head...
I am a Democrat, not a moderate, a liberal, a progressive or even a Democratic Socialist, but a Democrat. The Democratic candidates must learn to communicate the art of nuance and not treat it as a nuisance. When Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders nuanced an answer—in the first debate, that...
Charles P. Pierce from Esquire made it clear today who he was voting for: In 2016, I decided to make it a custom here at the shebeen to reveal the candidate for whom I voted in the Democratic primary election because a) I think it’s right to be transparent about...
Kudos to Rolling Stone for finding this: In a 2016 audio recording from what is thought to be a private Goldman Sachs event, Bloomberg first can be heard referring to the audience as “my peeps.” He then went on to talk about what his priorities would be if he were running for...

I want to congratulate Bernie Sanders on his victory in the Nevada Caucus. It is going to take some time for us to see the final tally and the data. And I have been watching some of the coverage on MSNBC. This is my initial read from what I can...
Received this e-mail today from the Progressive Change Campaign Committee in support of U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren’s (D. MA) presidential campaign: x YouTube Video I messed up. I voted early in Nevada for Pete Buttigieg. Then I saw Elizabeth Warren in this week's debate and at a local rally —...
The reality of tomorrow’s Nevada caucus will be in the details of delegate allocation. The meme of “insurmountable delegate lead” could prevail. Meanwhile Trump does a counter-rally in Vegas. x Post-debate poll (Thursday, Feb. 20):@BernieSanders – 30% (+2)@JoeBiden – 19% (0)@MikeBloomberg – 17% (-3)@ewarren – 12% (+2)@PeteButtigieg – 11% (-1)@amyklobuchar – 5%...
Hmmmmm…Media asks leading questions of Democratic presidential candidates to get them to attack each other. In latest debate, Elizabeth Warren comes out swinging against all the other candidates. Bernie Sanders gets into it with Bloomberg and Buttigieg. Klobuchar gets into personal fight with Buttigieg. Biden even goes after Bloomberg. And...
I think there will be certain things that are predictable for tomorrow night’s Democratic presidential debate. You know you suck as a moderator when you get panned by both Democrats and Fox “News.” And I am talking about Bothsiderist Chuck Todd. Seriously, I don’t normally pay any attention to Fox, but...
538 gives the polling outfit Data for Progress a B/C rating, but Data for Progress has Bernie Sanders with 35% support with likely caucus goers in NV. Here is a link to the poll. I know. I know. Polling in NV sucks. Jon Ralston says that, and I believe him. ...
Seems that Mike Blooomberg literally eclipsed every Democratic candidate today on MNSBC, at least the afternoon shows such as Deadline: WhiteHouse and MTP Daily. Well, they threw up Bernie Sanders as the kind of polar opposite to Bloomberg, but except for that Joe Biden interview on Nicole Wallace’s show, it...
Disclaimer: I am neither a Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders supporter. I am still voting for Elizabeth Warren in the primary. I have explained why in past diaries but I will explain more in another diary soon. But what I am all for is a party unity and Joe Biden...

Laura Clawson is doing an excellent job of covering how bad the ABC moderators of this latest Demcoratic “debate” are performing. And you don’t have to be a progressive to see how awful the “There Will Be Blood!” inducing questions that sellouts like George Stephanopolous ask. He’s a shining example...
And it is my batting average when it comes to picking Democratic presidential candidates. And it’s bad. Otherwise, 2020 is a sea of poltiical confusion, or so you would think if you are a political junkie. For starters, I don’t think I have picked an eventual nominee since I first...
I’m not sure how to feel about this Iowa caucus snafu, other than to ask, once again — why the hell does Iowa have such an outsized influence on who gets to be president? It looks bad on a few levels: Turnout was mediocre, which suggests enthusiasm is not where it...

I’m up, and I saw this ABC/Washington Post poll on the Democratic race for president. Let’s get to the meat of it. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ health poses a concern to Democrats, former Vice President Joe Biden prevails on electability and strong leadership and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is competitive on mental acuity and bringing “needed...
It’s on C-Span 13 Democratic Presidential Candidates Speak at Liberty and Justice Celebration in Des Moines DES MOINES, Iowa — Thirteen presidential candidates are speaking to a crowd of more than 13,000 at the Iowa Democratic Party’s Liberty and Justice Celebration at Wells Fargo Arena Friday night. The speaking order...
Actually, there isn’t just one Media narrative on the Democratic presidential race, but I want to focus on this one story from CNBC. It certainly encapsulates the narrative on Joe Biden. Yes, I do not support Joe Biden, BUT I do not think that the data presented supports the narrative. ...
Mother Jones “Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) released evidence on Tuesday that the Justice Department buried the whistleblower complaint about President Donald Trump’s call with the Ukrainian president by failing to refer the matter to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Klobuchar suggested the Justice Department violated a longstanding agreement between the...
Actions speak volumes over words, and the punches thrown by the Democratic presidential candidates at Elizabeth Warren tonight scream, “She’s the frontrunner!” I don’t give a shit how often they say, “Polls don’t matter! I meet all kinds of people out on the campaign trail…blah, blah, blah.” The rest of the...
Safe Bets For Tonight: It’s hosted by CNN and NYT, so the questions to the candidates are going to suck. The moderators want this to become a professional wrestling match, so look for lots of questions crafted to spark fights among the candidates. I predict Erin Burnett will ask Warren...
The NYT — yes, even though they suck, they have this interesting article — has an article up on the early caucus and primary states and the Democratic presidential candidates gound game in each. Well, they focus more on Iowa than any place else, but they have some graphics on how many...
Can we agree that money in politics, especially from corporations and oligarchs, is not healthy for our democratic process? But we have a political system that equates “free speech” with how much money you can donate to a political candidate or campaign. Until that system changes, we are stuck with...
A little while ago, I wrote about how the former U.S. Senate Majority & Minority Leader, Harry Reid (D. NV), gave the 2020 Democratic candidates a new litmus test when it gets to getting shit done once elected: Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said this week that should Democrats take control of...

I never watched Donald Trump’s inauguration. Couldn’t do it. I think I spent the day flossing my perineum with concertina wire, because that seemed far, far less demoralizing. But Minnesota senator and presidential hopeful Amy Klobuchar was there, and during a campaign event in Des Moines, Iowa, on Saturday, she...
Earlier today, I created a Twitter list of every major candidate who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. I’m defining “major candidate” as being eligible for being listed on Wikipedia’s table of 2020 Democratic Party presidential candidates, so, as a result, I’m not going to list every single person who...
