In reply to the discussion: 'Down-Ballot Carnage': James Clyburn Sounds the Alarm About Bernie Sanders Nomination [View all]Perseus
(4,341 posts)So I decide to oblige your "what say you?"
I hope you all remember this day if Biden gets the nomination because I believe you will all be unpleasantly surprised. For one, trump WILL debate Biden, and he will have him for lunch, or dinner I guess because that is when the debates are on. Biden will do his thing of trying to be "bipartisan", which is what made us loose the first two years of the Obama administration, remember when Obama and Biden spent two years trying to bring the republicans to contribute to the well being of the country and we lost those two years? One would have thought that Biden would have learned that "he cannot negotiate with republicans", and trump, who already comes with a plan to give the opponent names, to lie against him/her, to bring out the worst they find in the baggage, etc. will not listen to anything Biden says, and will confuse Biden, so between gaffes and other things, trump will be having Biden for dinner right in front of our eyes.
Doesn't it make anyone wonder why is it that Biden has done so terribly at the Democratic debates? Anyone who thinks he did well was not watching, not reading articles, commentaries, they were going la, la, la, la, la, la, can't hear you!
Now, I know that even as stupid as trump is, that he knows how sharp Bernie is, so trump WILL NOT debate Sanders, it will be up to Sanders to do a very aggressive campaign, to expose all the dirt from not only trump but the entire GOP, which he can do.
On Clyburn...He is part of the status quo, of course he wants Biden, of course he doesn't want Sanders, everything he adores from our system which we all know doesn't work for the rest of us, but it does for him and his colleagues is in jeopardy if Sanders wins, I mean, all the pharma donations, and others that contribute to his campaign....For example:
Lawyers/Law Firms
$148,659
Insurance ---- See? Sanders is a threat to his $99, 661.00
$99,661
TOP CONTRIBUTORS 2019 - 2020
AFLAC Inc
$32,600
Votesane PAC
$29,000
Health Professionals
$71,881
Pharmaceuticals/Health Products
$64,310
Now you see why Clyburn is warning, he is just using different language, but what he is really saying is that if Bernie Sanders wins he can say goodbye to all those beautiful donations from pharma, the medical and insurance industries...Plain and simple.
I hope I have answered your "what say you?" question.
