2019-2020 US Election Megathread III: Biden VS Biden

[The Pris0ner]

If Bernie Sanders was 110 and had terminal cancer I'd still vote for him. I'd rather have a President who implements policies I want and then dies than a President who lives to make things worse.

in light of Bernie's health situation, my revised Democratic primary rankings:

1. Bernie Sanders
2. Liz Warren
3. The literal rotting corpse of Bernie Sanders, festering in the Oval Office
4. uhh Pete Buttigieg or something. what happened to Bernie's corpse is it not available

I heard thee corpse was stolen by grave robbers and is currently being held for ransom.

Better make it quick, they might be trying to make a Hand of Glory Bernie to magically provide free healthcare to the owner.

Maybe Trump believes in one of those superstitions where you can steal your enemy's strength by eating them.

Wait.. Isn't this true? Why have I been eating feral cats all these years if it is not going to make me powerful?

That's not what they mean by eating... nevermind.

Likewise, though I'm pretty sure the mainstream media is making his recent health issue seem much worse than it actually is.

A Few Informed Thoughts From a Veteran Cardio Rehab Nurse on Bernie's Heart Attack

But, for those who do get quick care—as the Senator did—the difference matters a lot less. We now have the technology to re-open a blocked artery and, if done quickly enough, eliminate the lasting damage that used to result from heart attacks. The watchword of people in this business is "time is muscle" (heart muscle, that is). The sooner you can re-open the artery, the more heart function you save. Soon enough, as appears to have been the case here, and you save it all.

So, what does this mean for the Senator's campaign and fitness to be president? Frankly, not much at all. While I don't know all the details of what happened to Bernie, I know enough to say I would expect a return to full, unrestricted activity within two weeks after the event. So I have no worries about his ability to return quickly to the campaign trail.

Remember, those arteries had been narrowed for a long time. Even with narrowed arteries the Senator has been keeping up a pace that most younger people couldn't hope to match. Now, they are wide open and he's probably had no significant heart damage. We know from his high school track performances that he's genetically designed for endurance. Honestly, the people who should be most worried right now are the campaign staff who will have to keep up with him now that the arteries are fully open.

Besides, practically every president has had health problems, many of the during their time in office.

Indeed they have been. Basically they take one or two small snippets of a comment made off the cuff and run with it while also putting out doctored images (increased saturation on the cameras as well as putting false spots on his head to make him seem even older.

Yeah I know Eisenhower had a heart attack, and FDR wasn't exactly young.

First time he ran or the other times?

[Tinhampton]

Do you think that Trump will win the Republican nomination again

Yes.

Who do you think will win the Democratic Primary?

Somebody who doesn't sound like Trump.

If you want to weigh in on the smaller primaries like Green,

Jill Stein for Presidential nominee.

Libertarian,

Gary Johnson for Prez nom, also again.

Constitution, or Reform go ahead!

I recuse myself from these particular discussions.

how does these primary selections play out in the General Election?

Correction: Primary selection, that of the Democrats. In the end, even that might not matter, depending on how easily voters can tag onto Trump's attacks against them.

[USS Monitor]

Libertarian,

Gary Johnson for Prez nom, also again.

I don't think so. I think a lot of Libertarians see his ineptitude on the campaign trail as a missed opportunity. He bombed a couple of interviews, like not knowing where Aleppo was and getting stumped by a question to name a foreign leader he admired.

I admittedly haven't kept up with the LP for a while, so I may be out of date if they have forgiven him recently -- but between Johnson's shitty campaigning and Feldman dropping dead, they are kind of short on candidates that I want anything to do with.

[New Keam]

So who do you think are going to win the minor party nominations? Libertarian, Green, Reform, Constitution or anything that you can think of?

What do you think about the people going up against Trump in the Republican nomination, since that doesn't get a lot of coverage? What is your take away of Walsh, Weld, De La Fuente and the rest of the crew?

They won't win, but they might be a minor nuisance for Trump.

Hmmmm? Pass.

Libertarians think they only need to win POTUS and things would change.

Still.....I would swap Johnson for Donnie.

TV and social media weren’t around back then. Both never would have been re-elected.

Eisenhower wouldn't have anyway, his heart attack was in '57 during his second term, I believe.

The heart attack was in September of 1955. It caused a left ventricular aneurysm and that led to a mild stroke in 1957.

FDR was in a wheelchair. He would never have been elected in the first place.

My mistake. Many thanks for that.

I can imagine Trump getting very annoyed at having to campaign against some random Republicans rather than Biden or Warren. Especially since the Democratic primary is going to keep getting more press.

One of them (like Weld or De La Fuente) could jump on the third party train again, and tear away votes from Trump.

[Shrillland]

My Campaign kickoff will occur within a month. I've made plenty of friends and allies.

Secret to being a politician?

Don't be a politician.

And food. Lots of food.

Food, glorious food! So luscious and scrumptious.....no? OK.

I actually am going to my first campaign event today.

Here I am frantically updating my Wix Website and my Campaign Page.

Who is it for? And be careful, after that riot in Minneapolis a few nights ago and Trump's increasingly insane and violent threats, you gotta be careful at anything related to the election

If you win might want to leave NationStates and request that your entire posting history be scrubbed.
