Top 15 Democratic presidential candidates in 2020

[polychronopolous]

If Biden would simply say "we only deported those who entered that country illegally.  We were upholding the law.  If elected, I will push for reform".

Simple, no?  I think a comment like that would help with independents too.

I think that is the preferred statement as well but for whatever reason that small but very vocal far left segment has alot of these candidates shook.

The truth is it was those more moderate Democratic candidates in '18 who were able to eek out those tight House races and give the gavel back to Pelosi.

It's just the whole Twitter paradigm that were are in the midst of. Seems to blow things way out of proportion.

Well, I don't have a fix on a clear front runner yet. Whoever ends up being Trump's challenger will get my vote. I've said this before, but i hope it is not another old fart. In my opinion, the supposed top three, Biden, Warren and Sanders are too old. Buttigieg is right behind them in the polls. I like that he's a fresh face with a younger outlook. I doubt people are ready for a man and his husband to move into the White House, however.  

Mayor Pete...really. A guy that is 37 and is totally unqualified to be VICE President let alone President.

He's a politician and the biggest election of his life he got 8500 votes. Eight-thousand...five-hundred votes.

Being gay is the last of his problems. He's never done anything but run as a token and his town was poorly run to boot.

He needs to actually do something and try in a decade or two. We don't need another Obama empty suit.

Typical.... You think people give a shit that he's gay and that's why he won't become president....
How about... He's completely unqualified??
Literally his resume has virtually nothing to signal that he can run the Free world.

Bloomberg makes it official. He's 77 and thoroughly despicable when he opens his mouth. He's a billionaire, can't wait to hear him apologize to Bernie and Warren about his success.

Seems more and more that Biden is losing his patience and popping off at the mouth.

-Can't have it both ways. Some folks complain about career politicians bringing more of the same. Other's like yourself actually want people with political experience.

Did you vote for Trump? He had zero political experience. There are those who think he still has no valid experience as a politician. Being a bully and obsessive tweeter doesn't count.

Obama was an empty suit? He was a U.S. senator from Illinois from 2005 to 2008 and an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004. That's 11 years of political experience prior to being twice elected President by popular and electoral vote,  serving from 2008 through 2016 without any assistance from Putin and Russia.

Is that why he's on video telling Putin that he'll have more to work with after the election?

Prime has what a great many DemocRats do.  Selective Damnesisa.  It’s bites them in the butt every time.

Prime my young friend,  it’s called “writing”.

I think he is running because he’s afraid one of those two will win and take all of his money.😂

Bloomberg would be the first Jewish President.

I don't think the nation is ready for that.

Since when does sucking dick and being mayor of South Bend make you ready to be the leader of the free world?

True, but Trump has life experience. Mayor Pete is bragging on a debate stage that he has no money and no experience but plenty of feelings and woke-ness. I guess in the new era of opposition investigations from the time you are your party nominee a total dark horse with no past is best.

Obama was groomed in a softball district and voted on nothing to speak of purposely. The dems take on POTUS is that person is to carry out the party wishes not be their own person. They despise the executive branch centralization of power.

The Democrats should continue in the Obama tradition and nominate Elijah Cummings.

Obama was a part-time state senator and served as a U.S. Senator for less than two years before he ran for president.  He has the weakest resume of any POTUS in history IMO.  Before he announced he even admitted he wasn't qualified to be POTUS.

He banged white old dudes in a bath house, smoked crack, and spent years fighting release of records of his birth - if that counts at all.

Obama was a part-time Senator because like Oregon, Illinois has a hybrid part-time legislature. 26 states have hybrid part-time legislatures. He was a U.S. Senator from January 2005 until November 2008, when he was elected President. He was a U.S. Senator for 3 years and 10 months. If you are saying running for President consumed much of his time after announcing his bid for President in February 2007 campaigning, this is very likely true.

Regardless how little political experience Obama had when he was elected President, he had more experience than Trump, since Trump had 0 experience.

The 2020 Donald Trump presidential campaign is an ongoing re-election campaign by Donald Trump, who took office on January 20, 2017. Trump began his reelection campaign unusually early for an incumbent president. In other words he is using his time in office to run his campaign. This mean he has only been working part-time in his current position.


Legislatures in the Gray category are hybrids. Legislatures in these states typically say that they spend more than two-thirds of a full time job being legislators. Although their income from legislative work is greater than that in the Gold states, it's usually not enough to allow them to make a living without having other sources of income. Legislatures in the Gray category have intermediate sized staff. States in the middle of the population range tend to have Gray legislatures.

Obama had more "political" experience but hardly any real world experience.  He never owned a business.  He never had to hire and fire employees.  He never created a single job.  He never worked as an executive or in managerial position in the private sector.  He knew essentially nothing about either running a business or how our economy works.

Go take another look at his background.  It's actually kind of frightening how little experience that man had. 

Trump, on the other hand, was one of the most successful businessmen in American history and had created tens of thousand of jobs before becoming POTUS.  Night and day difference.

Business experience is valuable. However, I was under the impression we were discussing political experience. Are you changing the goal posts?

I never said "political" experience.  You did.  I'm talking about experience that qualifies someone to be president.  You don't need "political" experience to be qualified for POTUS.

In my several decades of experience, I have noticed that the main difference between the parties is this:

Democrats (liberals/socialists) are more concerned with the political differences between "left" (them) and "right" (Republicans).

Republicans on the other hand, are more concerned with the difference between right and wrong.   More often than not, we want that which is right.  Note that I say "more often than not" as all too often the Republicans have been infiltrated by RINOs.  Disgusting creatures which should be on the endangered feces list.

The proof of my words is in this "witch hunt" the DemocRats have been at for a few years now.  Fuck them and their noise.

-Want what is right? Who decides this? Not everyone agrees about what is right. Just saying....your perspective seems a little biased. Is that right?

In the 60's some leftists demonstrated against the Vietnam war. Was this for political reasons? If someone truly believes there is a climate crisis and speaks out about it, is that politically based or belief based.
