| They think Donald Trump has a chance against us? |
For many, the 2016 loss was based on the concept that Democrats "handed" the nomination to the wrong person. They wanted Bernie or someone with a little more "spark" to go up against Trump and his thunderous personality and boisterous campaign. Others believed that they picked the "right" candidate, but that the candidate just ran a horrible campaign. It was her race to lose, and she managed to lose it.
I happen to believe that 2016 and 2020 are not remotely connected. In 2016 we were just finishing the second of two terms of a reasonably popular (especially popular with the media) liberal President. The country was doing "better" but nobody was very comfortable with the economy and plenty of other things. The question was about status quo, security of picking a known quantity, or going with an outsider who is looking to "drain the swamp".
In 2020 we have a much different question to answer. Things economically are more secure (and probably will still be come next November). But we have anything but a "status quo" going on in the Trump kingdom. In some ways, a Joe Biden becomes almost the "status quo" of going back to a degree of normality, while Trump still almost plays the outsider looking to retain his outsider role for four more years.
This whole concept can be further enhanced by an argument that the entire Trump Presidency has been sort of upended by investigations, Special Counsel, etc. There is a feeling from many Trump supporters that a reelection may be more of a reaffirmation and an allowance for him to actually be President, which he hasn't really been able to do so far. The argument might be valid to say that he needs a second term, just to really be allowed to play out much of his first term.
Ultimately, neither Biden or Clinton are or were particularly good candidates. Both have lost multiple times, and that sort of thing happens for a reason. That being said, perhaps Biden (and his 76 years) might be the best that the Democrats have to offer this time around.

Well, he's more likeable than Clinton.
On the down side he's more creepy.
His Ukranian Deals during his days Under Obama and his threats to with hold aid unless they did work with his son is coming out.
Biden admitted the Stock Markets are soaring, but, Biden told those Union Workers none of it helped them.
When ya lose Bill Maher.
"Russians were engaged in a systemic effort to interfere in our election; that the Trump campaign welcomed it, embraced it, built it into their plan, made full use of it, lied about it, covered it up, and then obstructed the investigation into it; and, if we had any doubt before about this president’s fitness for office, there is no doubt remaining: he is unfit for the presidency.”
Maher then pushed back. “But this was our big gun. Now it just looks like you’re stalking him,” he said. “I think in the eyes of the people who don’t follow it that closely, which is most of the country, here’s the thing about Bob Mueller: he’s the last thing in America that left and right agreed on. Left and right basically agreed, this is a guy of honor, this is an honest guy, an honest broker, whatever he says goes…The fact that he was like umm…If you couldn’t impeach before, how are you going to impeach after? Or should you?”
If the Democrats remain untied after the nomination process, the numbers indicate the President is in danger.
Side topic is the President and the Democratic leaders seem to have come to terms on the infrastructure improvements, totalling more than two Trillion dollars.
Trump is a lot more creepy than Biden.

Joe Biden is touring Iowa today... So get ready for media coverage with lots of tight camera angles from half-full Bingo halls and Ramada conference rooms.
Joe Biden lied to the Members of teamsters local 249 .
I looked up their Pension Plan, it has a 85 % holding in Stocks.
Those workers have seen a Yuge prick in those holding.
Live feed Roger.
"Side topic is the President and the Democratic leaders seem to have come to terms on the infrastructure improvements, totalling more than two Trillion dollars."
Really, how does Speaker in Name Only Polosi pay for it?
Without tax increases, can be on fuel, that tax hurts the low income people like you and Denise the worse.

"The Conference Board said Tuesday that its index of consumer confidence rose to 129.2 in April from 124.2 in March, continuing its rebound from February’s plunge. Economists had forecast a rise to 127.1."

Hey kids....There is no such thing as “government funded.”
Gasoline is over $4.009 regular here.
64% oppose Trump's move to build a wall;
On asylum, just 30% support stricter rules.
Fake news polling
Again today disjointed Roger will not be answering questions about the topics he brings here, nothing past a spam cut n paste.
1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol– that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than our–selves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

All you have on Trump is his locker room bragging to bunch of other guys.
Meanwhile, there's art on Biden. Lot's of art of nonconsensual touching and hair sniffing.
CS is right.
Look at this Stupid Asshole.

Actually you have about 4.5 billion years to the mother of all global warming.
And no, humans won't be able to do anything about that one either. (Except leave.)
I've decided not to worry about it though.

Talking about something...
Actually doing it...
Yes, there is a big difference.

Look for Buttigeig to fall in with 9, Harris to then say 8, booker to argue 7.5, etc...

The left's utopia is in meltdown
