Democrats Coalescing Around One Goal: Beat President Donald Trump | Deadline | MSNBC
Joe Biden will not inspire a high turnout. Mr. gaffe will eventually talk his way out of front runner. That crime bill devastated families, I will never forget that.
Martin Hearn: My friend I think we stumbled on the most perfect definition of bittersweet.
If Dems are dumb, they won’t vote and hand the presidency to trump to finish the job of destroying America. If they’re smart, they’ll vote Biden or any other Dem candidate to save this country. It doesn’t matter how old or young a voter or a candidate, just vote blue or russia wins. Overwhelm them with votes
Do you really think that MSNBCNN want Trump to go away? Nope. Trump gave them a ton of cash in tax cuts and he’s ratings gold. Btw, all the MSM media will unite with FoxNews to stop a progressive like Sanders or Warren. They now if a real progressive becomes president their fat cat days are over and they can’t rob the people blind anymore. Can’t have that.
Jill Biden can kiss my a. The polls in 2016 showed Hillary Clinton beating Trump by a landslide and look what happened. #Warren or #Sanders
@Karen Byrd Bernie’s rallies are even larger. Here’s a recent Bernie rally in California. There were 27,000 people in attendance. https://www.snopes.com/tachyon/2016/05/sanders-revolution-will-not-be-televised1.jpg
Warren yes, Sanders never.
Whomever, just vote bue
Warren, but she will have to roll back on some of her policies (incremental change) is the only thing that will get moderates to vote for a dem nominee. There needs to be some distance from the social label. History shows that young voters do not come out and vote.
You mean a landslide victory of about 3 million? Because that’s what actually happened, dimwit.
The progressive wing will eventually coalesce around warren or sanders, and then it will be a similar dynamic as there was in 2016. Moderate vs progressive, hope to goddess it wont end up the same. I would DEFINITELY chose Warren or Sanders, but ultimately will support WHOEVER wins the democrat primary. WE CANNOT HAVE A REPEAT OF 2016!!!!!!!!!
Agreed. In three years he’s taken us back fifty.
Warren and Sanders should get together and put their egos aside and decide on who’ll run as President, and who’ll run as VP. Show the progressives, and the uncertain moderates, that there’s a real candidate to believe in.
@RandomDroppings Their “egos” are in no way a problem. It is perfectly in keeping with historical patterns for them to hang until the convention, esp. when Warren is showing an upward trend still. The progressives KNOW they have TWO candidates to believe in. I’d like to see them on the same ticket, but telling them that one of them has to throw in the towel at this point is just panicking. Calm down. It will be ok.
Biden can’t fill a school bus with supporters.
@Alan Hirschenhofer II keep school buses away from Biden he’s a little touchy with kids creepy joe
@Alan Hirschenhofer II he hasn’t gotten 50 yet.
15:14 when tim o’brien says “IF donald trump leaves the white house” lol bill maher’s been saying he won’t leave even if he loses the election🤣😂
This reminds me of something… oh right 2016. That the corp dem Clinton was more electable. How did that turn out?
Trump “won” with 3 million less votes but managed to secure 77,5k votes in 3 states with the help of Russia that also hacked Hillary creating a great scandal that cost her the election. Russia 100% helped Trump get elected.
@Flummoxed Marmoset You have no idea how many people prefer an orange moron in the white house to a coprorate dem like Biden..
@Flummoxed Marmoset Biden will lose and if he is the candidate then I will not vote Democrat.
Right on !
Just Visiting – She was more delectable. She won the majority vote. The polls weren’t wrong
Even all the way down here in New Zealand, can you see if the American public vote Biden, you will lose to Trump. Have the American media not learnt from past mistakes. I thought Hilary was the safe bet, who had name recognition, and she lost. Think outside the box and stop believing the standard system works, via lets keep the political establishment in power, who ended up losing in the last election in 2016, that allowed the current president into power. All of this points to past mistakes occuring again with the current president getting 4 more years in power, in an American society that is slowly becoming a dictatorship occupation of power, over its people. I really wish the American people would wake up, to what we (the rest of the world) see from the outside looking in.
Sam Rose you are so backwards. The establishment that has been, especially during Obama’s presidency, has been turning into an oppressive bureaucracy, but Trump is actually reducing this. How you people can call him fascist, while you are the true fascists, I will never know. You must be in denial.
Sam Rose oh I’m sorry, you live in New Zealand and don’t really have any idea what’s really going on in America. Newsflash from a conservative American, everything you hear about trump on MSNBC is a colossal lie, built on a mountain of lies. The Democrats are the real bad guys
Sam Rose: ignore the right wing trolls who bend over for their Dear Leader Trump. You absolutely nailed it. Well said.
Biden is the Hillary of 2020 but more right-wing and Every time he speak he f**ks up. He insulted millennial many times and they are the biggest voting group. He doesn’t have grassroots behind him. He does have millionaire donors though. If you want Trump winning in 2020 pick Biden or Kamala.
Millennials don’t vote
Angel Santiago go Biden 🙂
@Richard Parker Biden will get destroy by Trump.
@Angel Santiago Bingo!
Your frantic scramble to maintain a corrupt plutocracy is frankly disgusting… and futile!
14% of the country have 40 senators in Mitch’s pocket. The 41st is for sale to deny the other 85% of the country their needs as they only have 59 seats. The Senate preserves the Oligarchy aka Feudalism 2.0..
“Vote for me because I’m not TRUMP”, will be just as successful as “Vote for me because I’m a woman”.
Dave Schultz Vote blue no matter who.💙💙💙💙
Dave Schultz – I would rather vote for a real orange than #45
This comment section is a testament to what is wrong with the Democratic party right now, and if the party does what they did last time, they will be handing the Presidency back to Donnie Drumpf. 😑
The Dems. have no leader ship, its the wild wild west any thing goes TRUMP 2020
@CrimsonTide Hillary 2.0 has no chance of winning. But I’ll vote for who ever wins the democratic nomination.
@Wraithflaire Joe Biden is no Hillary Clinton. Joe Biden didn’t get along with or particularly liked Hillary. Joe’s support is real and that’s what the twitter verse and instagrams “woke” people don’t get.
@Jose Monclus *Here’s an old photo of Donald Trump, pimping out his (then) underage daughter Ivanka to Jeffrey Epstein.* _Is this really the man you want to vote for..?_ https://www.snopes.com/tachyon/2019/07/trump-epstein-wide.jpg
are they crazy – we don’t want to go back where we came from – that is how we got here.
Mr Underhill My thoughts as well !!!
They. Don’t. Care!!
Instead of being about “defeating Trump”, how about they be about doing something for the average American citizen…..
You *lost* 2016 because you forced a classic oldschool corporate moderate Democrat in a year it was clear the majority of American citizens said they didn’t want establishment candidates and are very tired of it. That is why Trump won, because he was an outsider….. Not another same old washed up Washington insider.
Joe Biden is more of the same. Nothing will be done if he is elected. Nothing for us that is…..
The Missing Link Democrats won’t do anything for the average citizen except give them poverty, crime, and take away their rights. But ya, how about do something for the citizen? Not that I want anything from the government, but where was some government program to help my family when we were homeless? I tried to get a job, but there just was none. Obama was President the entire time. I was born here, but yet people from some other country just come right in America and live like kings on American welfare. Now Trump is President, and I have a great job because Trump has fixed a lot of the damage done by democrat (Soviet) policies
Richard Parker you’ve never been homeless because you don’t know the amount of welfare. If you were ever homeless you’d have been on welfare and you’d know that no one, no immigrant is living like a king on welfare. Welfare is an amount that will just barely keep a person from dumpster diving for food. This is a fake troll account.
His slogan is worse than I’M A WOMAN! HILLARY.
*I’m Not Trump Biden!*
I thought his wife said his slogan is “YOU HAVE TO SWALLOW A LITTLE “
I thought it was “Biden – Obama’s Friend”
@taltal milal I really struggled with not replying to her with “we won’t swallow your husband like you do”. It took everything I had not to post it.
This is for Biden🖕🏽feel the burn🔥
Let’s point something out to those “older core democratic voters.” ANY candidate is electable if WE decide to elect them. Not every candidate is worthy of election. If you vote for Biden just because you are afraid of your own shadow and are scared there really aren’t more Democrats than Republicans, then shame on you. You will LOSE, again, because of your cowardice. Pick a GOOD PRESIDENT, not the candidate you presume will win in some ridiculous attempt to predict who will be the winner against Trump. Whomever we pick, will win. But the young folks are telling you, THEY WILL NOT VOTE FOR BIDEN. You want to lose? Insist on trying to read tea leaves, instead of listenting to policies and examining voting history.
Early leaders: 2000 Gore, 2004 Kerry, 2008 Clinton, 2016 Clinton.
Let’s be smarter.
David Wilson no, please. Line up another one 🙂
David Wilson not that you need to pick another loser. You could run Obama 2.0, the famed hero of the left against him and he would win because the American people largely see the left for what they are it seems. The only chance the democrat party has of winning, if even half of Americans are wise, is if illegal immigrants who have no business voting in this country are somehow voting.
Two of which actually won the general election — but got screwed by the electoral college.
MSNBC is totally ignoring the grassroot donations. Mr Sanders are way ahead. I think MSNBC is peddling Mr Biden.
Ya think? They’re non stop pushing him down our throats.
@Nancy Mesek ..Yap.
There is zero bipartisanship .gop only has two goals: 1) to enrich themselves and their peers 2) to stay in power. They will do ANYTHING to accomplish this. Politics is one way in our nation.
Tim I agree. Republicans never have to reach for democratic help, it’s always democrats trying to get republicans to move
Bernie Sanders is the best candidate who have consistent records on policies . #Sanders2020
Joe Biden is a flip flopper likeTrump.
TRUE!!
As the weak candidates drop out Biden will go down and Bernie will go up
