Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) take part in the second night of the first Democratic presidential debate on June 27, 2019 in Miami, Florida. A field of 20 Democratic presidential candidates was split into two groups of 10 for the first debate of the 2020 election, taking place over two nights at Knight Concert Hall of the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County, hosted by NBC News, MSNBC, and Telemundo.

How Is Going From “Yes, We Can!” to “No, We Can't!” a Message For Electoral Success?

Barack Obama gave a resounding speech of “Yes, We Can!”,  and Democrats loved it.  He was the first biracial man to occupy the White House.  Obama talked about being “transformational.”  And his election and re-election gave hope to many. Too bad some of the Democrats vying for the Democratic nomination...

Some Comedy From Tiger Beat On The Potomac About Biden's “Deceptive” Lead.

Yes, I am no fan of Joe Biden, but this article from Tiger Beat On The Potomac demonstrates really does no justice to Biden.  The Good News for Biden:  his centrist political opponents are inept and waiting on Biden to destroy himself.  The Bad News for Biden:  his political allies...

Remember How Howard Schultz Was a Threat To Democrats in 2020? Economic Austerity Is A LOSER.

Wow.  A corporate billionaire who thought that the federal deficit was the greatest threat to America and wanted to fix it with cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid had to end his foray into presidential politics.  Seems Howard Schultz didn’t find a mass audience for his austerity message.  But...

Harry Reid Says In Order To Pass Progressive Legislation, Democrats Must Abolish The Filibuster

Former U.S. Senate Majority & Minority Leader, Harry Reid (D. NV), sat down with NPR yesterday in an interview and continued to push an issue that needs to be emphasized in this primary: abolishing the filibuster. It’s the only way to get progressive policy pushed through. You want to get...

Shorter Senator Bennet: We Will Have to Wait Years Before We Do Anything.

Does anyone seriously consider that Democrats are going to pick a SUPER majority in the U.S. Senate come 2020?  That Democrats are doing to get up to 60 or more Senate seats?  Really?  But according to Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado, Democrats NEED to keep the filibuster because it will...

Jim Garaghty Is Not Our Friend, But He May Have Some Points About Biden = Hillary.

Yes, It’s Jim Geraghty and the National Review, so why the hell should we EVER pay any attention to either?  Neither is a friend of Democrats.  In fact, both would probably love to hand Democrats an anchor for 2020.  However, he writes about some interesting parallels or similiarities between Hillary...

I was for Gary Hart back when first ran for president in 1984.  To be honest, I was an enthusiastic backer, and I looked forward to his next try in 1988.  Then, he self destructed with his reckless private behavior with Donna Rice.   Think about it.  Having an affair could...

“Where have you gone, Joe Centrist? America Turns Its Lonely Eyes to You!”

Since the first set of Democratic Presidential Debates, it’s been a rocky road for centrists.  The heavy weight champ of centrism, Joe Biden, took some hits.  And while some Biden supporters have been saying, “Well, it was just one poll!,” subsequent polls have shown that Biden has lost some steam.  And...

My opposition to Biden is not based upon hatred.  I’m seeing Biden supporters on Daily Kos throwing that charge around lately in the comments section.   I’ve even seen some complaints that anti-Biden Democrats would actually prefer Trump over Biden.  And it is always repeated as a mantra that anti-Biden Democrats...

Democrats Should Stop With the Labels of Progressives Vs. Centrists Over Policy Differences.

The labels of progressives versus centrists or “New Democrats” over policy differences is meaningless in my humble opinion, at least as defined by the Media and the Beltway Establishment.  I say this because I think — I could be wrong — that many moderate or even some conservative voters would agree that...
