I’ve always been a fan of James Carville. Brings a lot of common sense to his thoughts. I agree with him on Bernie. Increasing the numbers of voters doesn’t guarantee anything. Hell, Hillary won the popular vote, and lost the election.
It does when last time neither candidate won a majority of the voting population. If 'did not vote' was a candidate they would have won in a landslide.

As an independent this has crossed my mind. At this point I do not know what I will do. Hoping Bernie doesn’t win the nomination so I do not have to make this decision.
What do you think about the democrat caucus system? My wife was completely turned off by it. I think the system where you have to discuss/argue with people rather than just being able to privately cast a vote for who you want gives the radicals too much control.

I think a lot of people like you and my wife want a sensible, middle ground democrat rather than people who are so far left. However, the caucuses make it difficult for people like you to get what they want.

I think the caucus system is archaic and 2020 will hopefully be the last of it. I’m with your wife but the choices are slim. Bernie and Liz are way too far out there for me. I like Pete and Amy but neither one of them is electable. Then you have the billionaires, Mike and Tom. Both have the smarts but historically owners do not make very good employees. So that leaves Joe. Has his time passed? He’s never been a good national candidate and hasn’t really shined in any of the debates. That said, with all of his foibles I think I’m going to give him a shot when I vote on Saturday. I guess we’ll see.

How about Tulsi Gabbard. I think she would make a good moderate Republican.

I like Tulsi. Definitely has some interesting ideas. That said, she is not electable. Let’s not forget that a Mike is a closet Democrat. I had already left NY when he ran but I would have voted for him as a Republican as I did Rudy. He just doesn’t have a very good likability factor for a national election.

Not sure why Pete and Amy are not electable. I think either could be. My wife likes Amy for the most part.

I think Joe seems senile myself, but he definitely has some charisma.

I like Tulsi just because I've seen the MSM go after her. I see it as a big point in her favor. I don't like her politics but I think she seems like she has a conscience. I trust her not to do anything crazy that would really damage our country.

I liked it when someone on Fox News said M4A wasn't possible because they believed the actual price for epipens was 600$, lmao.

This is why it won't work...
The Urban Institute, a center-left think tank highly respected among Democrats, is projecting that a plan similar to what Warren and Senator Bernie Sanders are pushing would require $34 trillion in additional federal spending over its first decade in operation. That’s more than the federal government’s total cost over the coming decade for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid combined, according to the most recent Congressional Budget Office projections.

This ^ I think Joe has lost his fastball and I really think he might be a couple cans short of sic pack.

Out of the dem nominees, I think Amy is the most sane and logical choice out of the democratic hopefuls. She appears to be very middle of the aisle, and I think that is what we need. Someone that can work with everyone and is not to far left or to far right.

Problem she is an unlikeable narcissist.

Agreed. If I were to pull a rabbit out of a hat. She’d be it. But she’s wayyyy to normal for the New Democratic Party.

Anybody see the resemblance in the democratic debate to a classic Saturday day night live skit?
