Democrats are forgetting who their actual opponent really is, fumbling all over the place (IA). And there are still too many of them on the debate stage.
MEANWHILE, Trump has been campaigning on the taxpayer dime for THREE + years (he declared himself a 2020 candidate on inauguration day 2017 so he could). His base is solidified behind him.
Democrats? Fighting each other instead of him. Bumbled the hell out of Iowa making them an absolute laughing stock. The debates don't render a clear leader or viable opponent for Trump.
Economy is good - Trump claims credit but he inherited that from Obama.
Trump has beaucoup more money than all Democrats combined
He's an incumbent - that's an advantage.
He's been campaigning for three+ years (in fact that's about all he's been doing) - WE have been paying for it. Democrats JUST. STARTED.
The Russian-style Trump disinformation/social media manipulation machinery is massive. Democrats have NO equivalent.
Snowballs don't survive Hell and I'm not at all confident Democrats or the United States of America as we've all known it all our lives - will survive this. In fact I'm pretty sure it won't. We won't.
Then, kiss your plans for social security or Medicare goodbye. Nobody's going to have that after 2020. Retirement will once again mean economic devastation and destitution. YET -- MAGAts will vote for this! That's what they're doing when they vote for Trump. They're fully willing to economically DEVASTATE the entire nation to ensure that no "brown people" or "other people" (ie: non-white, non-heterosexual, non-male) have any opportunities in this country economic or otherwise.
The ONLY concern I have (agree with T. Steyer that ANY Dem candidate's healthcare plan will be better than Trump's and the GOP's and that can not be our focus, sadly), is who can KICK. TRUMP'S. ASS. on the debate stage and in the media including social media?
Who? Because I don't see anybody. Bloomberg? Well. If he's the nominee, I'll vote for him. If it's Sanders, we're fucked. The 'Socialism' epithet and all the bad stuff from his past will be trotted out 24 x 7 everywhere, along with "Crazy Bernie". I like Sanders and his ideas, ideals and policies. BUT - I also KNOW what will happen to him if he's the nominee. No doubt. Not one iota.
So...I don't know. I have Biden as my favorite...but I'm not sure even Bulldog Joe can well enough kick Trump's ass.
We're fucked.
