McGovern had a lot of really popular positions while Nixon's were a mixed bag, but said popularity did jack to help McGovern in the end. On top of the economy, we were in the middle of a war, we know how that works with presidential elections, and Nixon did a great job making McGovern appear weak despite the fact that Nixon literally did nothing in WW2 while McGovern was a legit war hero who flew 35 bombing missions, among many other great things.

ThinkerX Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 3 hours ago, larrytheimp said: Ok, how do the Dems win the Senate? Under most conditions, as has been pointed out, it'd be an uphill battle at best. However, my entire point - overlooked in the sound and fury - was that it's not so much about the democratic party winning the Senate, as it is the Republican party behaving in such an abhorrent manner that a significant portion their normally reliable voters stay home in disgust, giving the democratic senatorial candidates realistic chances to win. Sort of like how Clinton lost to Trump - utterly disgusted democratic voters stayed home in multiple states. (The main, though not only issue being repealing the ACA, costing 20+ million people their insurance, causing havoc throughout the rest of the insurance market, calling this chaos a good thing, and laughing about it - which at least some are stupid enough to do.)

Although it isn't so much Hillary's voters stayed home, it's also that they voted third party. So for there to be a shift those people need to vote Dem.

Undoubtedly in terms of fundraising. I just think his phase has passed. Maybe I'm wrong, but I really can't envision a 37 year old mayor getting the nomination. He's already won, though, in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martell Spy Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Quote Former Vice President Joe Biden is leading the crowded field of Democratic presidential candidates, with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren in second place, according to a new poll out Thursday. Biden tops an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll with 26 percent support, followed by Warren at 19 percent and Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Bernie Sanders of Vermont each at 13 percent.

Kalbear Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Another interesting bit of weirdness - more people who have Warren as their first choice don't have Sanders as their second - they have Harris. More people who have Sanders as their first choice don't have Warren as their second - they have Biden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
