Trumpy's Troubles...

[Rockhopper]

Couldn't happen to a nicer man! Trumpy isn't doing as well as he thought. His crazy comment about abortion has hurt him badly with women voters. His misogyny is hitting him hard.

He also got in trouble with game company EA games
he made a silly commercial with his usual rhetoric, font called Trump Effect, bad enough but would have gotten away with it had he not used a sound bite from Mass Effect. EA had it yanked for IP violations.

LOL< and his own cronies are starting to run or cut deals and throw tRumpy to the wolves, it is hilarious, his troubles are going to grow.

Impeachment begins! Not that much is likely to come of it.

[TrueCrazyLion]

It'll be a few months yet before it becomes clear how much harm this impeachment does to his reelection chances I think, but I hope it'll be considerable!

[Rogue]

Unfortunately you also need a standout Democractic contender to go against him at the election, and from what I can see that's not looking greatly hopeful.

[Lenzabi]

The Establishment is trying so hard to prop up the lame candidates to avoid having Bernie become front runner/candidate to go up against tRump or whoever.

Bernie is too old to be a serious candidate, surely. Same with Joe Biden.

They seem to be lacking a credible Obama-like candidate who is capable of easily squashing Trump. This is really frustrating ATM.

for his age, Bernie is fit as a fiddle, and smart as a whip! he is the one senator who walks to work to stay fit. Biden on the other hand is losing his mind, saying weird and creepy things.

Obama had a pretty face and soothing voice that put folks  to sleep, I was of the opinion when I heard him speak of a used car salesman, years later he wound up bailing out GMC, so he was for a while President and car salesman!

Obama made folks feel ok and put them politically to sleep, but tRump's one saving grace is that he woke folks up politically and got them actually paying loving attention! sad that politically many of my fellow Americans sleep walk in political issues.\

Bernie stays on point regarding policies, all the rest are empty platitudes and smart sounding words that go in circles, Bernie is straight speaking.

Bernie certainly seems, from what little I know, to be the most genuine candidate. What about Elizabeth Warren? Is she just another cut of Biden?

Sadly yes, she is less a Progressive like Bernie and seems stuck in the status quo style of the old guard of the party here.

[Rogue]

The choice seems clear then, but then we're getting pretty used to disappointment in the political figures we end up with.

[TrueCrazyLion]

If Bernie runs against Trump later this year, their combined age will be 153... Incredible, really.

Looking at it from a positive point of view too: Whatever happens now, at worst, this year will be the last time Trump ever runs for President. Thank God!

Imo (my opinions can be controvertial   ) Trump is by far less worse than Hillary Clinton (or Obama). If Hillary had been elected i think it would have been more likely that tens of thousands of men, women and children would have been killed in wars, and children would have continued to be raped(or worse) on Epsteins Island. The Media LIE and cover up about many issues (War is a Racket as Smedley Butler wrote).
Imo ALL politicians Lie, including Trump obviously.
The politician that appears to be better than Trump at a glance is Democrat Andrew Yang (I dont know if he has any chance of winning nor who are his entourage or if he would have support of military intelligence).

Unfortunately, Democrats vs Republican is meaningless, and you cant judge a candidate by anything at face value, and the people that back a politician behind the scene stay behind the scene, and the coverage a candidate gets is often proportional to his corruption, a less corrupt politiciian either gets  less media coverage or unfavorable coverage, the most corrupt get more coverage and more favorable coverage.

I hope someday humans can have a real democracy, without elections without political parties or politicians, which are not democratic but aristocratic in nature, and without hierarchy which prevails in our current civilisation.

[Lenzabi]

Aristocratic in nature would inherently be hierarchical as arisotcrats are the wealthy class over those who are not.

Yang is more in my sense of things getting his name out there for future runs as he polls at just under 5% while Bernie is now leading and that is because he has policies that folks agree with.

while we are stuck with politicians, always, always look at their policies, where they stand, what they do and not so much as what they say, as so many lie to get votes. Bernie has been shouting the same stances for decades, and is looking like he may be up vs Trump as all the usual political hacks are crashing.

Quite a few surprises out of Iowa today for the Dems, especially with Biden not doing so well, and Buttigieg taking a narrow lead over Sanders.

Yeah "Shadow" is a company started by Hillary supporters, and Cheatty Pete paid them 42k so I smell rats and rotten fish

[Rogue]

They are calling it a dead heat! 

[Rogue]

Looks like it's now down to Biden and Sanders to fight out the rest of this long race.
