2020 Presidential Candidates

I think Biden has early dementia. He can’t form full or cogent sentences. He throws out buzz words and uses nonverbals to get the crowd to cheer. He has frequent blank, confused looks on his face. It’s sad and embarrassing.

Bernie has delicate health with his recent MI. Still gives a good speech and is mentally sharp.

Warren could do the job but sadly she’s not gonna get enough votes.

I have had exactly the same thoughts about Biden. He seems to blank out and then compensates with nonsensical words--I have also feared he might have dementia.

He talks in word salad. When you see his speeches written out exactly how he spoke them, it’s almost unintelligible. It’s actually diagnostic.

Of course Trump talks in a similar way. I think I’ll start to put my hope in local leadership rather than national ...

If Republicans had fallen into line as quickly as the Democrats seem to be, Trump wouldn’t be in office today.

For all the talk of oligarchy, all half a billion will buy you is American Samoa.

Democrats are just not that into Elizabeth Warren.

Biden seemed to perform best in states where he didn’t campaign.

Given the last-minute dropouts, early voting for primaries does not seem to be a very good idea.

I love your take-aways, LDAHL! lol Funny but true.

I was reading about why Warren stays in the race instead of giving the progressives a consolidated front, like the moderates did. She supposedly is going to stick it out because she's hoping that if it comes down to Bernie and Biden, she could be a spoiler at the convention, representing the more politically agile bridge between the two of them.

I could see that happening. A too-clever-by-half scheme to leverage her paltry haul of delegates into a kingmaker position and VP or cabinet post.

I like Biden, he has been my choice since the beginning.

Seems most of my friends feel the same?

He is also the most feared by Trump.

Some of his speech problems are due to his stuttering, especially when it seems he cannot get the words out.

I would recommend reading about his history and life of public service.

Thank you, Tenngal, I did not know that. I found this interesting article on him and stuttering:

One of my sons had a stuttering problem and almost completely disfluent as a small child. Word substitution is definitely something that happens with stuttering. Interesting!

Looks like Bloomberg is out. After $500,000,000 in sunk costs, he has concluded that “ money can’t buy me love”.

This is somewhat cheering, right? That all the money in the world still can’t buy an election or even a high result on super Tuesday?

Bloomberg sent me three distinct mailings a couple days ago. My neighbor remark he got three mailings as well. How many trees died so that this idiot could get his moment in the limelight?
