It is was it is. The difference this time around is sustained economic growth reaching a post WWII record with continued gains in employment rates for minorities and the young, a long string of all time highs in the stock market, and prominent Democrat bungling on multiple fronts. It is too bad Bloomberg’s age is at the average life expectancy of men in the United States, he has a proven racial past, and he promotes anti-gun legislation. It would not be a stretch to believe businesses and consumer confidence would remain high under Bloomberg and US foreign policy would be stronger overall. Pete Buttigieg has an impressive track record of ideas and getting things done. He has a young, agile, and creative mind. Two concerns are his actual 2nd Amendment views and how he would be perceived by other countries. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are both absolute no gos as far as I’m concerned. If Pete shows he is open mined about maintaining the state quo on our 2nd Amendment rights, I’ll be open minded about voting for him.
Yet democrat turn out is high and democrats have been winning elections including 2 statewide races in 2 of the most conservative states just 3 months ago.People have consistently said they disapprove of the job Trump is doing and will vote for the democrat. Thats the reality
Tony... reality is the Dems only hope now is for a miracle candidate emerging from a brokered convention. One thing you can bet your ass on.... Trump voter's won't stay home. You can't say the same thing if any of the current Dem players get the nod. No matter which candidate it is... some group is gonna sit this one out. Your best bet now is to pray for a Hail Mary brother.
You do understand the difference between state representative elections and Presidential elections, right?
Democrats haven't stayed home since 2016 Vanny,thats why they won the house by the most votes ever and 2 deep south governors races against candidates Trump heavily campaigned for just 3 months ago
Yes,Dems got 3 million more votes in the last one with low turn out.Dem turnout has been through the roof since
Dont need a hail mary,I have the polls that predicted who would get the most votes the last 4 presidential elections I also have Trumps record low approval rating which no president has won re elction with.I also have record Dem turnout the last 3 years including the most important group.
Actually, if for some reason I decide to not vote for Trump, I would then consider Pete. Pete’s positives include being young and thus having more of a vested interest in the future than some old guys and gals who are currently near or at the average life expectancy for Americans. Based on the Wikipedia.org article, Pete has initiated and followed through on several ideas in what appears to be an earnest attempt to improve living conditions of those in the inner city. Pete being gay has negatives as well as positives. The negatives may revolve around credibility issues among certain foreign leaders, certain business leaders, and powerful US politicians. The positive of being the first gay president would Pete may feel an even greater obligation to perform well than if he were not gay. Pete may feel the need to prove himself and sexual preference are not a liability when it comes to world leadership positions. My main concern involves how ethical Pete is. The wikipedia.org article referenced below seems a bit too “Managed” and his political moves have been questioned by some. Our political and economic system depend on ethical people in power. Without ethics, Democracy will ultimately fail after voters turn to Socialism for their perceived fair share of the economic pie. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Buttigieg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Buttigieg_2020_presidential_campaign
Still apples and oranges. Remember, the Democrats do not have a Presidential candidate, have serious credibility issues as a result of questionable investigations and leadership failures, and betting odds significantly favor Trump this time around. The real possibility of a Democrat brokered convention will likely leave a large group of voters disenfranchised and people feeling better about the direction of our country in decades benefits the President the most. For reference, check out current Congressional and news media opinion polls. If Congress and the media are not the cause of the improvement in direction of country polls, who is? Correctamundo: The President. Our President is Donald J. Trump in spite of the apparently still large group of Leftist in denial. And Trump will be President again, if he does not screw up in a big way. I don’t know if the following is true, but each time you post a poll of Trump’s popularity, 1 less person may vote for him. If this is true, you might be only 79,000 posts away from changing history, if all other things are equal this election as in 2016. Assuming, of course, optimal vote changes for each swing state. Good luck at stopping what is more likely a landslide: Are you like the King in this video trying to fight the waves back?
