 The Democrat Trumpworld fears most

In recent weeks, the president has been handicapping the prospective 2020 field and finding potential challengers wanting.

By ANNIE KARNI

01/15/2018 06:43 PM EST

In early December, as President Donald Trump’s approval rating reached a new low of 32 percent, the commander-in-chief was rating the 2020 Democratic field from behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders — who had recently bested Trump in a poll that tested the two septuagenarians in a head-to-head match-up — wasn’t a serious threat and would be easy to beat, Trump told a Republican with close ties to the White House who was in the room.

It wasn’t the lefty politics of the self-described socialist that Trump thought were a losing proposition. Instead, according to the person in the room, Trump was hung up on Sanders’ age, arguing that Sanders, now 76, wouldn’t have the energy to run another national campaign.

Besting in a poll won't beat Trump, Hillary best Trump by 2 million voters and she still lost.

But Sanders does have populist appeal no doubt.

They will follow him all the way to his grave.    And,The sooner the better I might add.

Sanders couldn't get out of his own way in a Primary, but Polutico has him as the flavor of the week again.

BTW this is the funniest line in this shitpiece....

Democrats, however, disagree that running far to Trump’s left poses a risk. “I don’t think there is going to be any penalty for a Democrat who runs on a very bold, progressive agenda,” said Brian Fallon, who served as Hillary Clinton’s press secretary in 2016. “The public is pretty firmly against the tax plan, the health care law is popular, increasing the minimum wage is popular. There is passion and energy on the side of the progressive wing of the party, and there's no cost from the general public standpoint in terms of any of those ideas and policies being unpopular.”

So the losing candidates stooge is telling us all the losing ideas from last election are now extremely popular. Good luck with that.

I may have missed it, but while there were several Dem politicos quoted in the article, every single quote from the Republican side was from an unnamed source.  So this is what passes for journalism these days?

We still have three more years of Trump chaos.  If he is still president after these three years, I think any Democrat will beat him.  A big clue to that happening will be the outcome of the upcoming election this year, how many seats the Democrats take in the House and Senate.

Around 5 pm yesterday, we were about to leave for our literature class, already had our coats on to leave, when the front door bell rang.  We had a cold front coming in and the cold wind was strong coming against the front door.

Bob opened the door and I was holding Prissy so she wouldn’t rush to the visitor (she wants to kiss and go home with anyone who comes here).  Standing there trying to stay upright in the wind, was our District Attorney for Denton County.  He immediately started petting Prissy and said he had a four pound Yorkie who owned him.  Their other dog was attached to the wife but the Yorkie was attached to him.

He handed Bob the leaflet he was giving out and started telling about himself.  I stopped him and said, “Are you a Republican?”  He said yes but a Republican was running against him in the Primary.  I told him I worked for the Republican Party for 12 years so he didn’t need to explain about the Primary election and I was saving him some time so he could get out of the wind.  He looked relieved and said, “Then you know how an election works.  You know about mail in ballots and early voting.”  I said yes.  He asked if he could put a sign in our yard and we said yes.  He thanked us and left.

Denton County is really large, over 800,00 people, and here he was, going house to house in the freezing wind.  Anyone who would do that is a serious person dedicated to his job.  He could never cover the whole county, going door to door.  With this kind of dedication, he is going to win his Primary.

I enjoyed your little story, but was there a point?

I mean a point relative to Trump and his chances against Bernie.

Because Bernie is an avowed communist and will be 76 years old at the next election.  There are a lot of undeclared communists in the democrat party but very few declared ones.  That is the only thing I admire about Bernie ... he's honest about it.

Not totally sure what your problem with Trump is but most people think he's doing a pretty good job.

And he would be doing a fantastic job if he had support in Congress.

There is no Trump chaos.  There is a media blitz against him the likes of which has never been seen.

He's still standing and trying to MAGA.

Put the MAGA in to annoy.  And, by the way, I went out in the freezing rain with my laptop to do it.

I think if the economy continues to improve over the next three years (Dow up to historic levels, over 26,000)....  Trump will win handily, in lieu of any unforeseen event.  The DemocRats have nothing in which to run on other than NT ("Not Trump" ... not Never Trump).  They are recycling their shtick now, back to racist accusation...lol.   The job situation is improving, with the corporate income tax lowered to 25% companies WILL come back to the USA and small business can begin to operate again now that taxes and regulations are eased.  All in all, I think (again, as long as some unforeseen event does not occur) Trump will win his second term with no problem.  Hell, as long as things continue this way and as long as he doesn't "lurch left"... I'll probarly even vote for him.

Speaking of cold.... how stupid is my male cat?   So stupid that he has gone out in this 21 degree cold today.... has been out for about an hour so far.   Both cats went flying out of the door onto the patio earlier, but the female (smart one, that) came in after ten minutes...lol.  She likes her creature comforts like her human!

Just another example of you making it personal belittling another poster sharing an experience that had nothing to do with you or any other poster here. You do it over and over and then wonder why people get angry with your passive aggressive words while you feign innocence. Are you really that blind?

But you are not mad about that at all.  You are mad because I occasionally challenge you when you say something idiotic.

I had an indoor outdoor guy that I try to keep inside when it was cold, but he always insisted. Mostly, I think it was to get away from the other animals. He would be out on the coldest nights, but always came back fine the next day. I figured out his secret. He would cruise the neighborhood, looking for a house that was doing laundry. He always came home smelling like dryer sheets, after a frigid evening.

Lol..... smart cat.  Mine isn't that bright.  But he does enjoy snooping in other people's garages.  He was out all night once (also a cold night) and only came home the next morning.  I suspect he got trapped in a neighbor's garage.

I have been gone to a casino.  One poster thought I was still on this thread.  I leave The Briefing Room pulled up all the time so the last thread I am on shows I am there, but I am not.  I missed all the kerfuffle that went on just because I made a post.

I said: “We still have three more years of Trump chaos.  If he is still president after these three years, I think any Democrat will beat him.  A big clue to that happening will be the outcome of the upcoming election this year, how many seats the Democrats take in the House and Senate.”

As an example of this election year, how serious it is, I told the story of the Republican District Attorney coming to the house in the cold, going door to door.

As Chaos Trump does, I have given first names to a couple of posters.  They are:  Meanie and Wrongly.  Chaos Trump gives names to people constantly, so it must be a rightly. bigly, thing to do.

Meanie:
“I enjoyed your little story, but was there a point?”
“Really, I feel ashamed for challenging her.  But not ashamed enough not to do it.”
“I drove Victoria33 away??  About Social Security?  I wish you could remember more because if I was mean or unfair to her, I will send her a personal message apologizing.”

I have been gone to a casino.  One poster thought I was still on this thread.  I leave The Briefing Room pulled up all the time so the last thread I am on shows I am there, but I am not.  I missed all the kerfuffle that went on just because I made a post.

I said: “We still have three more years of Trump chaos.  If he is still president after these three years, I think any Democrat will beat him.  A big clue to that happening will be the outcome of the upcoming election this year, how many seats the Democrats take in the House and Senate.”

As an example of this election year, how serious it is, I told the story of the Republican District Attorney coming to the house in the cold, going door to door.

As Chaos Trump does, I have given first names to a couple of posters.  They are:  Meanie and Wrongly.  Chaos Trump gives names to people constantly, so it must be a rightly. bigly, thing to do.

Meanie:
“I enjoyed your little story, but was there a point?”
“Really, I feel ashamed for challenging her.  But not ashamed enough not to do it.”
“I drove Victoria33 away??  About Social Security?  I wish you could remember more because if I was mean or unfair to her, I will send her a personal message apologizing.”
“Okay, I went back and read my post to Victoria33, who, by the way, is still here.”
“I saw nothing that awful about it.  And nothing actual critical of her personally.”

Perhaps the moral of the story is that people who have comments to make on the subject should continue to do so, and ignore (if not officially, in practice) the passive-aggressive assaulters around here who make it a point to go after people instead of staying on topic.

I appreciate the insights of @Victoria33 , @XenaLee , @DB  , @goodwithagun and scores of other posters, whether I agree with them/you all the time or not.  Diverse opinions are what make places like this one so fascinating.  And most of us agree with most of us on everything that matters.

The passive-aggressive ones who seek to control others by intimidation need to be shunned.  When we talk about Trump (or anyone/anything else) and they attack us instead of discussing the issue, we should just "pay them no never mind."  Maybe if all of us (myself included) just turned the other way when they're up to their pranks, they'd stop the nonsense.

Anyway....... KEEP POSTING, @Victoria33 !!  You have a lot of insight that this forum needs.  Don't let the meanies drive you away................ or even make you talk just about cats.  ^-^

We still have three more years of Trump chaos.  If he is still president after these three years, I think any Democrat will beat him.  A big clue to that happening will be the outcome of the upcoming election this year, how many seats the Democrats take in the House and Senate.

This is what's going to happen in October.   A stock market 'correction'...due to ongoing 'polls'

The Democrats and the MSM will claim they were 'right'....it (economy) was all smoke and mirrors and based upon a LIE. 

President Trump will point to the crash and simply say

"The People have a choice: (1) Go back to 1.5% growth, higher taxes, higher unemployment, misery index and food stamps  (2) MAGA"

My problem is my hyper-defensiveness.  I love talking politics.  I love sparring.  But when it gets personal about me, I tend to swing back.

My problem here has been that attacks on Trump are almost always perceived as personal by some, and the result of my criticizing him is an ad hominem against me.  Then I defend, which I should be smart enough not to do.   :dx1:

Some think so.....


The generally accepted hypothesis among breeders is that the Maine Coon is descended from the pairings of local short-haired domestic cats and long-haired breeds brought overseas by English seafarers (possibly by Captain Charles Coon) or 11th-century Norsemen.  The connection to the Norsemen is seen in the strong resemblance of the Maine Coon to the Norwegian Forest Cat, another breed that is said to be a descendant of cats that traveled with the Norsemen.

Giggle farts never end well.
I remember trying to sneak one out in math class...

It was a perfect setup. the air currents in the room lofted my gases over the top of everyone, and dropped them like a bomb on the little gal in the far right row, second from the front... Whereupon she would, upon catching wind of the change in atmosphere, turn around and beat the crap outta the poor fool behind her, him being perfectly innocent and unawares.

Everything started out fine, as a textbook SBD... But it developed into a warbling squeaker... Which of course lead to giggle farts, which always end in... yep.  *****rollingeyes***** **nononono*

Which is why tucking your pants into your socks is prudent and having a spare pair of undies in your locker is vital.
