Biden Quoting David Brooks Should Be Disqualifying Alone [View all] Blue_Adept Sep 2019 OP

Not a story Loki Liesmith Sep 2019 #1

Of course not, lets close our eyes and ears to every gaffe and love him more for it Perseus Sep 2019 #9

This ISn't a gaff. Uberpartisanship and demonizing lead to evil. Hortensis Sep 2019 #30

Point of order: Act_of_Reparation Sep 2019 #32

Can you name a Republican pundit who is not evil? If not... LAS14 Sep 2019 #71

Too easy LAS. I can think of Cartaphelius Sep 2019 #80

Fwiw, I could name a bunch here I feel may have better ideals, Hortensis Sep 2019 #87

The hardest job for the next president may be fixing Trump's mess Gothmog Sep 2019 #82

Oh please DownriverDem Sep 2019 #38

I wonder if the "who cares if he quotes a writer who's spent his career undermining Democrats" pass StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #42

Ok I get it people in other circles believe Biden supporters are like tRump voters njhoneybadger Sep 2019 #44

So right, these cringeworthy gaffes DO matter. Should go with a steadier candidate who's quick InAbLuEsTaTe Sep 2019 #49

It wasn't a gaffe. It was exemplary of a healthy two party system. Which we have... LAS14 Sep 2019 #70

Warren supporter, of course. Butterflylady Sep 2019 #14

She'd had my vote as my Senator for years. Blue_Adept Sep 2019 #29

She has only been on a ballot twice. George II Sep 2019 #61

That would be years. /nt tonedevil Sep 2019 #64

Bazinga! melman Sep 2019 #75

Yes, which with six year terms, means years. Blue_Adept Sep 2019 #99

That particular quote is rather innocuous Sherman A1 Sep 2019 #2

All it says to me is that he likes more than just this from Brooks Blue_Adept Sep 2019 #4

You know what worrries me? Warren gets the nomination and goes down in the general. Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #34

That is precisely what would happen. Biden is battle tough and would prevail handily. George II Sep 2019 #62

Exactly...we probably get the Senate too...then we end the filibuster ...it is time... Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #66

What worries me is that we push too far to the center Sherman A1 Sep 2019 #63

We need votes in moderate states...Warren is run to far left for these states IMHO...but Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #65

I am much farther to the Left than is Warren so while I agree that Sherman A1 Sep 2019 #68

A bold move...will be seen as socialist policies...I am a progressive but I don't make the error of Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #72

We will have to agree to Sherman A1 Sep 2019 #74

Warren: Senator, yes DownriverDem Sep 2019 #39

I am a woman and wanted Hillary desperately in 16, but I sadly agree with you. Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #67

Nearly 66 million Americans voted for one last time John Fante Sep 2019 #79

this is where I stand as well nt Celerity Sep 2019 #25

Me too! True Dough Sep 2019 #51

Brooks may seem like a "smart guy" to Biden, but Joe is not acting very smart. n/t monmouth4 Sep 2019 #3

Brooks: Marianne Williamson Knows How to Beat Trump crazytown Sep 2019 #5

He has a very good staff BeyondGeography Sep 2019 #6

yes he does, and they have their hands full, lololol nt Celerity Sep 2019 #26

I'm sure they're on standby fundraiser duty BeyondGeography Sep 2019 #27

Brooks said he was voting for Obama/Biden. He endorsed them. mucifer Sep 2019 #7

Another self-appointed disqualifier. So tiresome. RelativelyJones Sep 2019 #8

The Voters will decide.. not those Cha Sep 2019 #10

I'm the one that said it. And I'm a voter. Blue_Adept Sep 2019 #11

I'm talking about the majority of Cha Sep 2019 #12

But like me you will of course vote for the Democratic nominee...even if it is Biden in a general. Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #36

How come DownriverDem Sep 2019 #41

i quote conservative ppl all the time.. sometimes they do say smart things. samnsara Sep 2019 #13

Perfect statement. oldsoftie Sep 2019 #17

Horseshit. Grasping at silly straws. oldsoftie Sep 2019 #15

This is just nonsense, and that they don't realize what a disservice to the candidate they support still_one Sep 2019 #22

It shouldn't. I don't think less of other Democrats because of blm Sep 2019 #33

People say that all the time...about how they like your candidate less because of something you said Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #37

No matter how annoying they can be, no one's posts here could possibly blm Sep 2019 #45

I agree with you there...I will vote blue no matter who...maybe I should hang out in the lounge Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #52

I agree, but unfortunately I think it does. I think we saw it the last time, and I am concerned still_one Sep 2019 #47

what is this.... quickesst Sep 2019 #16

LOL.. Cha Sep 2019 #18

Heh... quickesst Sep 2019 #20

Surely he should be able to speak an opinion on a columnist? cwydro Sep 2019 #19

I disagree. Quoting Brooks is not disqualifying Raven123 Sep 2019 #21

This quote in and of itself isn't a problem dsc Sep 2019 #23

He wants to try...and maybe it will work...what is your plan to never cooperate ever and get nothing Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #40

Yeah. We should just give up redstateblues Sep 2019 #50

No we need to be crystal clear dsc Sep 2019 #95

David Brooks' "Bobos in Paradise" is a good book. betsuni Sep 2019 #24

I didn't even know Biden was at a fund raiser...some have Biden derangement syndrome... Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #43

Wearisome! peggysue2 Sep 2019 #46

Well stated. nt LAS14 Sep 2019 #73

Not disqualifying at all SharonClark Sep 2019 #48

Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooo awesomerwb1 Sep 2019 #53

Oh, FFS. "Disqualifying" would be something like The Velveteen Ocelot Sep 2019 #54

I like Joe as a person... Locrian Sep 2019 #57

Then support someone else, but all this nitpicking is just stupid. The Velveteen Ocelot Sep 2019 #58

i agree the David Brooks thing is stupid.... Locrian Sep 2019 #60

Nonsense, lol Sugarcoated Sep 2019 #55

Disqualification can only be determined by the primary voters treestar Sep 2019 #56

Ground bait thrown into the water to attract fish should be disqualifying as well. LanternWaste Sep 2019 #59

For me David Brooks is a beacon of hope for resuming a healthy two party system. nt LAS14 Sep 2019 #69

I look forward to the day when our party leaders prefer the words and wisdom of actual Democrats. LonePirate Sep 2019 #76

Now there's a headline I can get behind! Hassin Bin Sober Sep 2019 #78

We are in a battle for the soul of this nation. Gothmog Sep 2019 #81

He has the strongest message for "the moment we are in." And he was the first candidate to call emmaverybo Sep 2019 #88

Disturbing melman Sep 2019 #83

As long as we're into dumb nitpicking, Ann Coulter kinda likes Bernie: The Velveteen Ocelot Sep 2019 #85

It's not nitpicking melman Sep 2019 #89

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn The Velveteen Ocelot Sep 2019 #91

"most other people don't either" melman Sep 2019 #92

You can say that again rusty fender Sep 2019 #84

I know. I know. Warren has been criticized for praising racist Francis Perkins, so you come up emmaverybo Sep 2019 #86

If racist is the way you describe Francis Perkins, then I feel blm Sep 2019 #90

Racist is how many black people characterize her statements and stances. Pro-segregation? Victim emmaverybo Sep 2019 #93

Which black people are... tonedevil Sep 2019 #94

Hate to break it to you, but FDR had policies today considered racist and anti-Semitic. Her resume emmaverybo Sep 2019 #96

Yes I do understand... tonedevil Sep 2019 #97

OK. Yes, probably no white person, huh? I do see what you are saying. And it seems we should emmaverybo Sep 2019 #98

Completely incorrect! Blue_Adept Sep 2019 #100

Fair enough. I believe you. Not a tit for tat. Let's not go over the top, huh? Was hard for me to emmaverybo Sep 2019 #101

Elizabeth Warren was a registered Republican well into her 40s. stonecutter357 Sep 2019 #102

And there are plenty of people here who were Republicans once Blue_Adept Sep 2019 #103

So it's OK to vote for and it's ok to be a Republicon , But Quoting one is Disqualifying ? stonecutter357 Sep 2019 #104
