Are the Democrats jumping off the cliff?https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign...-off-the-cliffEven more disturbing is how the candidates have taken the bait and gone so far as to criticize and condemn President Barack Obama, a man with a popularity rating greater than 90 percent among Democrats in virtually all polls. Why in God’s name would these candidates, no matter how liberal, decide it was wise to rip into the former president?
I don't think so. The eventual candidate will race to the center as soon as she/he is official.

Democrat friends, do you think this is a winning position among the independents whose votes the Dems need in order to defeat Trump? Or will the Dem candidates taking this position and others like it just race to the center after they get the nomination? I wonder if they can pull that off. Maybe. Voters do have short memories about such things.

Could Bill Clinton win the nomination in 2020?

I guess this is it for Iowa. I can probably live with Buttigieg, but not Sanders/Warren. If I have to vote Trump to keep out Sanders, I will. Utah will go Trump no matter what......but still.

Klobuchar making her move! I think the most interesting election scenario is Trump vs Klobuchar. Then all the people who have said "give me a moderate, and I'll vote against Trump" will be put to the test. I imagine they will still vote for Trump, but it will be interesting to see. Any other likely scenario just has Trump vs a progressive. We know what happens there - the red vote red, and the blue vote blue with turnout in the swing states deciding the election.
My wife was in a meeting with Mitt Romney a couple of weeks ago. He said that Trump would beat Bernie or Liz in a landslide, but the Klobuchar would beat Trump decisively.
I posted this on UF.net too. Here are a pair of interesting op-eds from both the left and center. One is from Jonathon Chait, a decidedly left-leaning pundit and analyst, and the other is from Megan McCardle, a true centrist who is very critical of Trump and writes often about economic and political issues. I really enjoy her work because she is remarkably objective, IMO.

This Amy Klobuchar could beat Trump. Where has she been all year?

Klobuchar would be an interesting candidate. She was the lone democrat to approach the Kavanaugh hearings with any sense of fairness or dignity. If Bernie doesn't get the nomination this time, there's more than one talking head who believe a bunch of Bernie supporters will essentially give the democrat party the bird and stay home on election day. They may be able to screw him over once, but not twice.

I was at a function with my daughter and about 10 of her friends the other day (all 18-21 year olds), and I was surprised that 2/3 rds of them were all in on Bernie Sanders.
My unscientific poll.
It's hard to imagine a "landslide" with the way the past few presidential elections have gone. I think the Democrats could run a potato, the Republicans could run a yam, and each party would get 45% of the vote and it would come down to the swing states.

Could Bernie really happen? I was thinking the choices couldn't be worse than Trump vs Hillary, but, Bernie would be worse by ten-fold.

No candidate has ever been worse than Trump. Bernie at least cares about something and can interact with others. I think health care and higher ed reform are both issues worthy of conversation, and a Sanders presidency would hopefully force those conversations.
AOC had it right when she more or less said last week that Bernie is aiming left to hit the mark.
That said, I still have Bernie below Klobuchar and Warren..maybe Buttigieg too.
do you remember the stock market bounce after Trump was elected? Imag8ne that in reverse if Warren or Bernie wins. I’m hoping for buttigieg, Klobuchar, or even Bloomberg to rid us of trump, but not see the economy tank.

Sounds like our wish lists are basically the same.
I think it's amusing when people pretend that anyone has any control or influence over the economy. That thing is 100 million miles beyond being a chaotic system. Talk about the butterfly effect.
It’s chaotic, schizophrenic, etc. But it is still subject to some simple forces. The market is the cumulative of stocks of corporations. When a business friendly president takes office, the market will go up. Put in rabid anti-corporate presidents like Warren or Sanders, and what do you think will happen.

What will happen to the Republican Party after four more years of Trump? Would the economic impact of Bernie winning be worse if the usual gridlock in Congress remains? What would the long term repercussions be?
Great questions. They are complex. My point was just about the initial market reaction to electing a socialists or anti-corporate candidate.

As BYU-haters, we should all be rooting for Sanders'/Warren's free college plan. BYU is riding high on dirt cheap tuition, but if free college is everywhere, there is no need for BYU (if there ever was a need). Like when you make sure a welfare recipient is getting everything they can out of the government before dipping into fast offerings, we could encourage students to go to their local flagship instead of forcing a million students into Rexburg.
Also, why can we not compromise on these things? Why does it need to be free? Why not use taxes to set in-state tuition at a level where someone can work themselves through school? Make it a function of cost of living and minimum wage. Assume part time work during a semester and full time work in the summer. Tie that government funding to a requirement that schools only spend x% of their moneys on admin, staff, and services to try to curb the arms race to the poshest dorms and nicest gyms and most support staff.
Two of the better candidates -- Klobuchar & Buttigieg -- are done.
So what are we left with now? Sanders, Warren, Biden and Bloomberg. Slim pickings..

For all intents and purposes, we're down to Sanders and Biden after Super Tuesday.
