- Yes, I took great pleasure in the crashing and burning of the Warren and Amy Klobuchar presidential campaigns. And naturally, people of my ilk were often scolded by progs for being so misogynistic as well as being an impediment to "progress."
Let's clear this up once and for all.
If in 2024 the presidential matchup is, say, Nikki Haley (female of Asian-Indian descent) vs. Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke (lily white, middle-aged male), I'll max out contributions to Haley and will actively work on her campaign.
Thanks for playing.
- Regarding the Democrats, I will give credit where credit is due. They didn't just pay lip service to wanting to prevent their party from becoming a socialist party by nominating Bernie Sanders. Middling candidates like Klobuchar, Mike Bloomberg and Pete Buttigieg dropped out of the race and then coalesced behind Joe Biden, the only perceived "moderate" who was competitive against Sanders.
In 2016, Republicans expressed a similar urgency to form an alliance to knock out frontrunner Donald Trump. However, the likes of Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush were unable to put aside individual hubris since each were convinced he was the most viable head-to-head vs. Trump. Hell, the dorky Kasich stayed in the race even after admitting his top goal wasn't necessarily to win the nomination.
In the end, Trump likely wouldn't have been stopped regardless, but it was all talk and little action with the non-Trump candidates.
- And finally.......
The 2020 Democratic primary is *so* *crazy* that (it's hard to believe this actually happened!!!) the candiates who were in 1st and 2nd place in national polls for basically all of last year are currently... 1st and 2nd place in delegates.— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) March 5, 2020
