2019-2020 US Election Megathread II: Tim Ryan's Empire

[Juristonia]

Al Sharpton considering running for president.
F*ck it! Let's just all run!

Farn, it's your time to shine!

Just make me your Secretary of State. :3

It's PJ Media making an article out of a fairly offhand comment.
So, you know, grain of salt.

[Shrillland]

You get the EPA. Good luck working that out.

Oh crap...

*buys respirator cartridges and iodine tabs*

Oh, come now. Nothing wrong with nukes. We have more reactors online than any other state, hell, we have the first reactor used for power, Dresden No. 1, and the Chicago Pile to boot. We haven't had a meltdown yet!

Was good enough for Wikipedia.
Ugh.

The same Wikipedia that any asshole or moron can make an entry to until the moderators get around to checking and cleaning.

It,'s not the power that's the problem, it's Lotharia's EPA deciding to use my house as a waste casket.

We did it boys, some hope for NY!

New York is a liberal hellhole and should be abandoned by any rational thinking person.

Still good for him. I wish he would consider the presidency, given the awful choices the non-Trump right has.

That article was posted last Halloween. New York doesn't even have a gubernatorial election in 2020, it being a four year office and Cuomo having been re-elected last year.

Is Larry Sharpe a An-Cap?

I don't think so

[Kowani]

I saw what you did to those younglings Lotharia...

I couldn't help it! Chancellor Kowani wanted me to!

…Why in the unholy name of me am I everyone’s scapegoat?

You just give off a Sheev Palpatine vibe I suppose.

Mace Windu hasn't tried to kill you yet.

Wait, but I’m the black guy!

Samuel L Jackson is a equal opportunity killer.

Hickenlooper to drop out!

Instead of jousting at windmills, pragmatist John Hickenlooper should run for the Senate against Cory Gardner.

Hickenlooper to drop out!

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-hickenlooper-to-drop-out-of-presidential-race-mulling-run-for-senate-2019-08-15/


Instead of jousting at windmills, pragmatist John Hickenlooper should run for the Senate against Cory Gardner.

He'll most likely run and he'll most likely get the nod. I feel confident he can beat him given Hickenlooper's popularity.

In other news, according to this analysis, Global turmoil Trump stirred threatens his reelection chances; it also reads this:

Trump did not cause all these crises. But his actions or unwillingness to temper them did deepen the discord in many cases. And his refusal to play the kind of stabilizing leadership role expected of a US president is fomenting power vacuums and may convince key protagonists in each drama that they may not face the kinds of consequences they might normally expect from Washington.

The President's worldview is rooted in his enduring belief that the world has been ripping America off for generations and that strength and unilateral US action are the only way to restore respect. He believes engagement abroad inevitably leads to costly commitments and bloody disasters like the Iraq War.

It goes on to list crises like Hong Kong, the economy, trade war, Iran, etc. I suspect this will have big implementations for the 2020 Election and it'll ultimately decide the Heart and Soul for years to come.

HEY, man!
We're on page 420 and it's 4:20 PM... and the law here in my state is ...coooooooool.

I find it amazing that someone like Steyer, who announced last month, almost qualifies for the debates. $100 million can go a long way. In other news, Someone decided to ask 20 people to name the candidates off their heads.

Not surprisingly, Biden, Warren, and Sanders did the best, with their names being mentioned 18, 15, 15 respectively (I would have thought it would be 20/20). Surprisingly, Gabbard was 13 which was higher than Buttigieg's 12.

Tulsi is getting more recognition than I thought, enough that the cable news has switched from the tactic of denying her existence to smearing her. Her message is resonating with people.

You can't just ignore Gabbard dragging Harris on national television. Her debate performance is definitely getting her name out there.

Indeed, she plowed Harris and it basically ruined Harris' chances. But her message resonating? Nah, she's still at one percent in the polls for the most part. Her campaign is more of getting her name out, not to become President. Hmm, maybe she could be a potential VP/Sec of State candidate? We'll see.

Biden allies want to plan less rallies to limit the amount of gaffes Biden might have on the campaign trail lmao

Her poll numbers are low because up until a few months ago, few people outside of Hawaii have heard of her, and it's an extremely crowded field. Plus, I think there is a big overlap of Gabbard and Sanders supporters - most everyone who supports Tulsi have a favorable view of Bernie, and since Bernie has more recognition and a much greater chance of winning, of the two progressives more people favor the one who can realistically become President.

I'm still hoping Bernie will become President and make Tulsi Secretary of State or Defense.

I haven't decided myself yet whether to vote for Bernie or Tulsi. Bernie has the better domestic policy, Tulsi has the better foreign policy. And it depends on how crucial it would be for Bernie to win my state during the primaries.

Even if Sanders fell, his supporters would go to Biden and Warren; Tulsi suffers from not being many people's first choice, or second, or third. Maybe years down she'll have a better shot but right now, she needs to increase her national profile and possibly make a run for the Senate, or hope she's appointed to a cabinet position (not Defense but Secretary of State would be perfect for her in my mind).

And which State would that be, btw, if I may ask? is it a key important one?
