July Democratic Debates - Night Two | The Daily Show

Another summery of the 2nd Nightmare in Detroit!

 

[Wrong Element]

The thing that surprised me the most about last night was Harris not being prepared for Gabbard coming after her. Last week, Gabbard came out of left field to attack Harris's qualifications to be president, and if I knew that just from reading Twitter, how come Harris's staff didn't know? I'm not sure what the source of this friction is, but Harris needed to be better prepared for Damascus Tulsi.

Harris is the one I most want to see coming after Trump, but she's not as good on policy as Warren, doesn't have the consistent POV of Sanders, and isn't a teddy bear like Biden. I'm starting to think her best chance is lying in the weeds while Warren/Sanders and Biden direct their fire on their opposites (think of how Dean and Gephardt tore each other up in Iowa in 2004 and left Kerry as the beneficiary).

This is probably not a universally held view, but Bullock impressed me some and I think he'd be a plausible veep pick in some scenarios (not if Biden is the nominee, obviously).

Harris is an incompetent hack and Gabbard is a fuckin' beast.

If (D)'z were smart they'd run her and take back the moderates they chased and are continuing to alienate into the Trump camp.

With "Gropin' Joe" Biden showing that no other candidate is capable of knocking him off of his pedestal at the top of the Democratic Party hill, these debates are basically shaping up as to seeing which of these candidates will Joe mostly likely pick to be his running-mate next year?

32.0% - Joe Biden - (The two tired old white guys continue to lead the Democratic Party pack!)

16.4 - Bernie Sanders - (Joe can't pick Bernie to be his running-mate - it's not going to happen!)

14.8 - Elizabeth Warren - (Liz remains in third-place; I could see Biden running with her!)

11.0 - Kamala Harris - (Kamala had a bad debate, and she continues to slide downward in the polls!)

5.6 - Pete Buttigieg - (Mayor Pete is the strongest of the "WEAK" candidates!)

3.0 - "Beto" O'Rourke - (Another bad debate for Beto - how much longer can he remain a candidate?)

1.6 - Cory Booker - (Cory had a decent night, but will it help him any in the polls?)

Not the latest poll numbers, Dumpster. But tomorrow may be different yet!

It looks like Liz is edging out Bernie and Joe is losing ground, only +6 now.

Click on the pooling data, don't rely on the box scores.

That's all very true, Jack - it'll be interesting to see the new polls - just as I strongly expect that several of the nobodies (e.g. the "one-percenters") will soon begin dropping-out! I'm truly amazed that some of them have lasted as long as they have! But what REALLY amazes me is how BIZARRE things have gotten!

Case-in-point: Marianne Williamson - we have all seen how the modern Democratic Party prefers its extremism packaged into neatly digestible sound bites and vague platitudes - and the self-help author, representing the “flower children” base of the party, managed to out-crazy the other candidates on the stage, dreamily rattling off positions that left even her most radical opponents struggling to defend their more serious policy ideas to an audience that was clearly hungry for even more crazy.

Donald Trump Jr. watched the debates, and he noticed that when the topic of REPARATIONS for black American descendants of slaves came up, Williamson dazzled the audience with made-up math, “calculating” that the country probably owes them trillions of dollars. But in the interest of racial reconciliation, she said she’d settled on $500 billion, calling this a “politically feasible” amount, because apparently she has no idea what those words actually mean.

Williamson pulled off the same trick when the topic was the Flint water crisis, giving a non-answer composed of social justice buzzwords strung together into nearly cogent sentences that most college sophomores could rattle off from their class notes - and the CNN debate-audience went wild. And when she went even further, declaring that institutional racism is responsible for all of society’s ills, the applause got louder still.

The other candidates will undoubtedly take note of the impact Williamson made with her unabashed insanity, and several will probably try to mimic her strategy, driving the whole primary field even further to the left than it is already. Make no mistake: Marianne Williamson was a clear winner in this week's Democratic Party debates, which should probably terrify anyone who isn’t completely insane.

That's the kinda authoritarianism "progressives" can get behind!!!

It's very funny to read posts about D candidates from people who support the incredible swamp monster, Dickead Donald

Why? Because they are all scummier than he is???

 

[Dumpington]

Here's the very latest from the https://www.realclearpolitics.com/ polling averages:

31.8% - Joe Biden - "Gropin' Joe" is actually DOWN ever so slightly!

16.4 - Bernie Sanders - The other old white male Democrat contender remains in second-place.

15.2 - Elizabeth Warren - Liz takes a slight bounce upwards following her second debate performance!

10.6 - Kamala Harris - Kamala's candidacy continues to fade away...

5.8 - Pete Buttigieg - Mayor Pete remains in 5th-place, still in the single digits.

3.0 - "Beto" O'Rourke - No change for Beto as his candidacy continues to stagnate.

1.6 - Cory Booker - Senator Spartacus remains in the top-seven tier, but only just barely!

Democratic Debate: What Do Independents Think?

While many of these candidates competed for who could out-Democrat the other, the reality is if any of these candidates want to win the 2020 presidential election, they will need to appeal to voters outside their party too -- including the 42% of Americans who self-identify as independent.

So, what did the independent audience think of the debates? We asked our audience to weigh in on who won and who lost the debate and here is what they had to say.

You'll have to click the link to see what the Independents thought.

Not what the MSM told you about the debates.

I think you provided the wrong link. This would be the correct one: Democratic Debate: What Do Independents Think?

I did find the other page interesting to read "The Impending Disaster of California's Confusing Presidential Primary"

Thanks, I don't know how that happened, but ....

It's just about "PANIC-button time" for the Democratic Party!

Since immediately following Trump's unexpected 2016 win over Hillary, the Democrats have felt absolutely CERTAIN that they'd destroy Donald in 2020, assuming that he'd somehow survive the Mueller investigation (which he DID!) But in 2019 that certainly has quickly evaporated as more & more liberals are coming to the realization that Trump will almost certainly remain in office until January 20, 2025!

For one thing, how is it that JOE BIDEN is still leading in all of their polls? Deep down, most Dems liked old "Gropin' Joe" as Barack Obama's loyal running-mate. Granted, the guy SUCKED as a presidential candidate in both 1988 and 2008, obediently stepping aside in 2008 to allow Hillary Clinton to steal the nomination from that old socialist Bernie Sanders (who would have been a disaster!)

Biden only leads in all of the current polls because his two strongest challengers - Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders - are both so far to the left that neither can win a national election. But the entire Democratic Party is lurching left, so much so that many of today's Dem-candidates are even going so far as to attack the sainted Barack Obama (as witnessed in last week's debates!)

Joe currently has his hands on the levers of power, but Liz & Bernie remain in striking range. Kamala Harris is fading fast, while everybody else remains in low single digits! The ultimate winner of the Democratic Party's 2020 presidential nomination is most likely going to be one of those three: Biden, Bernie, or Liz!

Joe Biden is his party's version of Bob Dole. He'll probably win the nomination, but NOT the presidency - he's a terrible candidate. Bernie Sanders, meanwhile, is an angry old man who had his chance in 2016 and couldn't make it happen. While Liz Warren is a far-left liberal cut from the same cloth as Democrat presidential candidates George McGovern, Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis - who ALL got badly landslided in '72, '84, & '88, respectively!

No wonder progressive-left filmmaker Michael Moore desperately wants Michelle Obama to run! It's "PANIC-BUTTON TIME" for the modern Democratic Party!

‘Bingo’: Biden says he’s coming for your guns if you have an assault weapon

During an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Monday, former Vice President Joe Biden said that he intends to ban assault weapons if elected president, and he would accompany it with a national gun buyback program to eliminate as many existing weapons as possible from circulation.

“I was able to get one passed,” said Biden, citing the 1994 assault weapons ban that, while it was never conclusively linked to a drop in crime, was marked by a dramatic reduction in mass shooting deaths. “Does anybody think it made any sense that someone is able to walk into a gun store, buy an assault weapon that has multiple rounds or buy an assault weapon that has 100 rounds … do you want more of them on the street? Do we want to do that?”

All you who bought an AR or AK type, kiss your boom stick goodbye!

To the Democratic Party, murderous killers are the fault of President Trump & the N.R.A. - while conservatives blame the killers themselves and a society that no longer values human life.

The latest poll-numbers showing the RealClearPolitics national averages show that the two old white men currently combine to hold 49% of the Democratic Party's support:

32.3% - Joe Biden - (The candidate of "Grope & Change" continues to dominate the field!)

16.7 - Bernie Sanders - (Does ANYBODY seriously believe that Bernie has a chance in 2020?)

14.0 - Elizabeth Warren - (Liz has dropped DOWN over a point since we last checked!)

10.2 - Kamala Harris - (Kamala continues her slow fade downward towards single-digits...)

5.5 - Pete Buttigieg - (I'm guessing that Mayor Pete is hoping to maybe snag a cabinet post if the Dems win?)

3.0 - Francis O'Rourke - (I don't think that "Beto" will even be offered that much!)

1.7 - Cory Booker - (Cory inches upwards a fraction of a point, for whatever that's worth!)

All you who bought an AR or AK type, kiss your boom stick goodbye!

All grandfathered in, thus the buyback program, AR15's will still be available, only thing he can do is another accessories ban that will be gone as soon as (D)'s aren't in power anymore.

You'll not be getting the totalitarian regime you're hoping for Jack, it's illegal.

Hey StonerBoy, do you currently own an AR or AK weapon?

 

[BotanyBoy]

Hey StonerBoy, do you currently own an AR or AK weapon?

Among a number of other weapons ranging from sharp rocks and sticks to belt fed automatics and destructive devices....why??

How do you use the AR?

 

[BotanyBoy]

How do you use the AR?

Assuming you're asking what kind of activities I engage in with it...

Recreational shooting.
Hunting.
Home/personal defense.
Occasional Somali Safari.....considering a sex trafficker safari this winter.

How many rounds a minute can you fire?

 

[BotanyBoy]

How many rounds a minute can you fire?

Lots of factors involved with that.

But given an AR-15 and standard 30rnd mags...it's going to range between 15-20 rounds per min on longer range/moving targets, wind/weather can slow it down even further and 90-120~ rounds per min. bump firing spray and prey depending on how quick you are with the mag changes.

So let’s call it an average of 60 rounds per minute. How many rounds do you need to pump into an elk before it’s dead? The good hunters I know usually require one.

Probably a shit load if you're using an AR-15.

Be better off with a bow and some good broad heads.

The good hunters I know usually require one.

Yea, because they are usually packing a .30 cal of some kind to shoot an elk.

What's that got to do with anything???
