Democratic Challengers 9: Can we climb this mountain? I don't know.

[BassAle]

If we're going to let a Republican who supported George Bush for president run for our nomination, who else? Let's see if Donald Rumsfeld is available. Colin Powell is popular. Let's call him. Meghan McCain? Where do we draw the line? Or do you just want to erase the line and let anyone run?

Don’t forget Bernie. He isn’t a Democrat.

You misunderstood my post. You posited that it would be easier to fix the nomination process in the Democratic Party if Bloomberg won. I'm saying it would be moot. It wouldn't be fixed at all because the people in charge don't see it as a problem.

They’ve already cut the number of superdelegates. Grassroots efforts can and will reform the nomination process. It’s a lot easier than stepping back from a fascist regime.

Yeah, he has a long history of supporting Republicans and their regressive policies.

I’m not convinced Bernie will beat Trump and ANY democrat running will be light years better than Trump and if you don’t think so you’re ****ing brain dead

He has a far better chance of winning the swing states and black voters who didn’t vote in 2016 than mayor stop and frisk. He isn’t light years better than Trump, he’s an oligarch who has a history of sexual harassment, racist policies, surveillance of innocent minorities, and at best we’ll get a worse version of Trump in 4 years if he gets elected because he’s not going to do **** to fix any of the underlying problems that caused Trump to get elected in the first place.

Don’t forget Bernie. He isn’t a Democrat.

Not seeing the problem here lol.

Not the definition. You're on a roll.

Thanks. That means the world to me coming from you.

According to Bloomberg, transgender people are an "it." A "man in a dress."

NO.

Oh the irony.
No shock you and Trix either don't see it or don't care.

Listen: I'm not voting for someone who thinks I'm a man in a dress.

Never said you had to as that's not my point.

Yes, Bernie has an I after his name. How terrible. He's also someone who has championed Democratic principles for decades, unlike some other candidates.

Then why isn't he an actual D?
If your issue is "a Republican is running for the Dem nomination" then why do you have no issue with someone who has shunned the Dem party running for its nomination?
I'm not saying Bloomberg is good or bad...but I also dont see him as Trump 2.0 either.

The point is that if he's the nominee and you dont vote for him you may as well be voting for the Nazi.

But making sure he's not the nominee isn't important to many on this thread.

For many of us...defeating Trump is the #1 priority...and yes that needs to be done regardless of the nominee.
No nominee is perfect no matter what you think of them...but they are all better than Trump.

Because values are more important to me than political parties. Sure, party affiliations can help crystallize your beliefs but it doesn't define them. Giving a speech in primetime at the RNC and espousing opinions like MissT is an "it" and "a guy in a dress" does.
