Reality Check…..
Donald J. Trump IS the President of the United States….
Most Americans would vote him out yesterday….
But?
The VAST majority of Republicans are SOLIDITY behind him….
Joe Biden leads the Democrats running for the nomination and beats Trump in more places that any of the other’s run-in against him…But?
There will be another Democratic debate next week….
Then there will be FOUR MORE debates before the first nomination contests actually begin…
All the while Trump will be impeached and then will NOT be convicted…
Someone see a problem for Democrats in this?
Yes…
Trump WILL be locking his party and supporters votes during all of this while Democrats attack each other in a effort to be King of the mountain (There will be no Queen…)
And Yes….
A LOT of Democrats are NOT happy, and worried about their party not rowing together to get what they want…
The past three years have not been easy for the political fortunes or the emotional health of America’s Democrats. To the extent they feel optimistic about anything, they have been waiting for the 2020 election in the way inhabitants of a storm-ravaged city might look toward the end of hurricane season — as an opportunity to restore order not just to their fractured physical world, but to their battered psyches.
Why, then, even with the potential catharsis of impeachment proceedings against President Trump underway, do so many feel so awful?
“My big fear is that we are not coalescing around one candidate, and I don’t know in the end if there’s enough people who will come out and vote,” said Mac Macnair, a Democrat who lives in a deep-red county in rural Georgia. “Four years is as long as I can go, but eight years — we won’t even have an America left.”
Ms. Macnair, a former teacher in her late 50s, was in Greenwood a few weeks ago to listen to her preferred candidate, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., speak in a college gym. She was excited to hear what he had to say. But she was still fretting about the state of the party, and the state of the nation, at the end of 2019.
Yes and in 2016 the Republicans were tearing themselves apart over Trump ,who after all this so called “disunity “ won the election.
This is pure tripe.
What psi you suggest James?That Democrats, who disagree with you ,just fold up in the name of some mythical “unity?”
This tommyrot comes up every four years and is just as ridiculous now as it’s been in the past.
Dumb, stupid and silly but of course ,very “jameslike.”
I present a picture from a piece here…
The ‘fact’ is Trump runs unopposed ….
The good thing is Democrats tend to come together in the end…
And Trump will be an even stronger reason to do so…
Yes and that’s the point.
The party out of power almost always has a spirited contest for the nomination .
What’s new?
And of course you’re being disingenuous.If you believe what you say above?Then what was the point of this whole post ,which was suggestive that something unusual was going on here ,and complete with “someone see a problem here?” Over a normal part of the American political process.
This post was pure junk and you know it.
I’d rather Democrats be “nervous” than complacent.
The latter didn’t work for us in 2016.
The irony here is that James is saying that the Democrats must come together – even though he has been more critical of three of the top five Democrats in the race than anyone I know who self-identifies as a Democrat.
I will support the Democratic nominee against Trump even if my preferred candidate fails to get the nomination. And frankly, this shouldn’t be a difficult decision for any of us. For the most part, Republicans are evil. It seems to be only a difficult decision for James. (CG isn’t here, but He has already pointed out how his preferences for policies such as increasing the budget deficit, relaxing environmental restrictions designed to reduce carbon, opposition to healthcare for all, and opposition to Palestinian human rights will offset any opposition he has with regard to anything Trump or his cronies has done.)
