    I would like to think all the serious Democrat contenders would beat Trump, but this is starting to look like the Dems are about to mirror the 2016 GOP Primary clown shown when they had 18 candidates.  If you’ve got all these people running and trying to do anything to stand out, plus a base in an angry populist mood, they’re just going to try to one up each other with red meat nonsense and the best carnival barkers will rise to the top.

    Hopefully the Dems will just ignore about 12 of the people likely to run, limit cable news debates (i.e., glorified wrestling promos), and keep things from getting out of control.  If they end up choosing someone because they “out-Bernied” Bernie, or because they were the angriest and loudest, I think Trump would be right back in it.

    If Biden runs, he'll get the nomination, IMO.

    I didn’t see the vids of tomahawk chops.  That’s clearly a racially insensitive taunt.  Like I said, it’s unsurprising (indeed, inevitable) that someone in the crowd was being a dick.  

    There are many videos out there now providing context for what happened and looking at them all, it appears that the first reaction was the correct one: the kids were being racist little shits.

    So are you calling them out for wearing MAGA gear?  Because that clearly happened and, yes, it’s annoying and indicates I’m unlikely to agree with them on any political issue.

    But merely because they proudly display idiocratic political views doesn’t mean every fucking thing else they do is a racist act.  

    What about tomahawk chops? Mocking traditional Native American dances?

    I'm saying, I want the Democrats to lose. Nominating Harris will help with that outcome, as opposed to say...Beto or Biden...so I'm all for it! Yay Harris! Harris2020!

    Harris would beat Donald Trump.

    So will hillary clinton.  Why do you think Harris will mop the floor?  What is she equipped with that DT should fear?

    Have you watched her Senate hearings? She's outstanding. She can handle anything Donald Trump throws at her and return in kind.

    Kamala Harris isn't worried about Donald Trump.

    I think that Harris and Booker are going to run to try and elevate their star status and I think it is going to backfire incredibly.  Maybe even toss Warren in that category too.  It just isn't the right time for either of them.  They'll be put in the same corner as little Marco.

    Say what you want about trump, he might not have known policy and he might have been pandering to a far right base, but he absolutely hit Hillary with perfect jabs and some haymakers during the debates that did more damage than knowledge on any subject could overcome.  That's what the dems are fighting against.  It isn't about who knows the inner workings of the EU the best or how to handle trade with china.  It is about who is made of teflon and who doesn't stumble when they get hit.  Booker, Harris, and maybe even warren will absolutely start stuttering the second they are punched.  Or they'll pull a Mitt romney and hit back but in a way that is seen as bitchy and petty (like when mitt wanted to bet $10k on a policy position).  I know people will say that Trump's hits are petty and bitchy and it is true.  But in a fight it is always the second punch that gets caught and punished, never the first.

    Kamala Harris will mop the floor with Donald Trump.

    And why can't the Democrats come out and say exactly that? "The President created the crisis at the border with his family separation and denial of amnesty policy. He chose to let DACA expire. He chose to shutdown the government. Why is it incumbent upon Democrats to give into his demands when he created this entire situation"?

    A whole slew of them were on television yesterday saying that.
