#metoo Well Gillibrand is probably running. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-is-kirsten-gillibrand-up-to/
I googled searched <Hillary Clinton 2020> at duckduckgo. Most of the speculation is Fox, Newsmax, Breitbart, Daily Mail, with a few sources like Huffpo as well
It's almost like Republicans need to go back to an old foil in order to make themselves seem like a reasonable option.
https://www.politico.com/magazine/s...-class-democrats-marty-walsh-interview-219029 I am starting to think Him and Garcetti may be able to skip the Sen/Gov step and go straight to Pres in 2020 depending on the field.
Well this part here is not true, Sanders was paying for everything with a tax on the 1%. Anything you wanted was possible with a tax on the 1%.
Why is it Republicans never have to pay for shit and Democrats always do? The fact that you would think that shows the power of the conservative bias in the media.
No one gives a shit about policy details in a presidential campaign. If they did, Hillary would have won by 60 points. People want broad strokes in campaigns and then, when the politicians elected on those promises fail to deliver, they lose the next election. And so the cycle continues, ad infinitum. Anyone who's arguing right now about things like "well, how would we pay for a jobs guarantee/medicare-for-all/free public college" is going to lose ********ing badly.
Because things for the common good must be paid for. Wars and tax cuts for the upper classes never have to be paid for.
That’s rich considering most of the establishment Dems wanted to get into the weeds about Sander’s Medicare for all College and living wage. Now we “don’t give a crap about policy details?” [emoji849]
Dems have to have details because the narrative is we tax and spend. So we always have to have a short recap of our details. Plus our audience and tent so big we have people who will say yes and others will want more detail. That is why there needs to be details. Always remember that the party has to juggle the Lamb-AOC divide or even Warren-Manchin. That is a big tent.
That's fine in a primary, but you're not winning a general election talking about which taxes you're going to raise to pay for universal healthcare.
What The Rise Of Kamala Harris Tells Us About The Democratic Party Sen. Kamala Harris has not officially said she is running in 2020, but she hasn’t denied it, either, and she’s showing many of the signs of someone who is preparing for a run, including campaigning for her Democratic colleagues in key races and signing a deal to write a book. The Californian ranks low in polls of the potential Democratic 2020 field, and she doesn’t have the name recognition of other contenders. (Her first name is still widely mispronounced — it’s COM-ma-la.) But betting markets have her near the top, reflecting the view among political insiders that Harris could win the Democratic nomination with a coalition of well-educated whites and blacks, the way Obama did in 2008. As was obvious 1.5 years ago, she's totally running
They could just lie like the Republicans and make-up future GDP growth rates that will make the changes pay for themselves. It's worked for the Reps since at least 1982.
