Who is the face of the Democrat party?

[Neveragain]

Moving ahead, who do you see as the leader of the Democrat party and possible Presidential material for 2020?

If Sanders can keep his momentum he could take 2020.

If Sanders can keep his momentum he could take 2020.

He will be 79 in September 2020. I doubt it.

Probably Warren, and she'll lose.

If Sanders can keep his momentum he could take 2020.

What momentum? He practically became a nobody overnight the minute he threw his support behind Hillary.

If Sanders can keep his momentum he could take 2020.

Cruz sent him home with a pudding pack. Bernie is done.

Hey, the topic asked the question. That is my answer. With everything that has happened I think the democratic party will wise up and back the person the people want, not who they want.

David Brock is angling to be the face of the democratic party.. :lol2:

It won't be Sanders or Warren. It'll be this guy right here:

So what you're saying is you can't elaborate on this momentum that you think Bernie has that's going to take him all the way to 2020.

I'll try again though, even though you'll just give some faggy non-answer:

Could you please elaborate on this momentum? Last I heard he got annihilated by Ted Cruz and then CNN cut him off for calling them fake news.

Bernie is very vocal and active in the party right now. He has the recognition factor. Coming out of this past election I think will motivate people into not repeating the same mistakes. If he is who the people want in 2020, which is not an insignificant amount of time from now, then he could take it.

Your boy Cruz is a backstabbing lying little shit. You should be proud.

Bernie will be 78. You'll be lucky if he hasn't keeled over by 2020, nevermind get the nomination. And if he did he'd get destroyed. I'd be surprised if he even tried to run in 2020, assuming he's still alive.

You offered a suggestion and they very reasonably pointed out why your suggestion would probably not come to pass. How is that being cunty?

He's deflecting his cunting onto everyone else because when Backlash has a problem with anything it has to be someone else's fault.

I doubt Sanders wants back in the spotlight. He'll still continue to play a role though. Tulsi Gabbard is a strong contender. Warren will try I'm sure but she's the liberal version of Sarah Palin so I don't really see her going anywhere. Hillary? Michelle Obama?

Not my boy, I think I have stated many times I'm a Rand Paul supporter.

If it makes you feel better, I'm sorry Cruz mopped the floor with Bernie's broken ideas.

Cory Booker is just Obama light without the charisma, he has zero chance, someone mentioned Tulsi Gabbard, she is probably the one shining star on the left. As retired military I respect her, not sure I would voter for her, but I at least respect her.

Gabbard has some pretty weird ties to Syria (http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/tulsi-gabbard-secret-syria-trip-233762) that raise a lot of questions.

Cory Booker may not be as good of a public speaker as Obama, but he is still pretty charismatic imho. But he is a vegetarian...

I think the biggest mistake that Democrats could make would be to put someone from the Clinton/Trump/Bernie generation in the lead. Y'all motherfucks had your turns and fucked it up. It's time for some new blood. I'd love to see someone like Jason Kander at the forefront.

There is listening and listening and listening. If you could see past all the trolling his does you and PB probably actually agree about a number of things on a fundamental level. The most basic is that you both want everyone treated fairly. A lot would likely say equally but to treat them exactly equal would be to deny people the very differences that make them all special.

I'm Hindu, and obviously I'd love to see Tulsi to become President on that basis alone, but meeting Assad didn't help.

I have no problems with vegetarianism, but that combined with the constant unfounded rumors that he must be gay since he is unmarried are unlikely to play well in many parts of the country. I was mostly joking but a lot of people couldn't handle a married, meat eating light skinned black man as president so I can only imagine how much people like Parkbandit and Tgo01 would freak out about it.

I'm a guy. (character's a guy too) And that's correct - I don't rate Tulsi as my top pick for the presidency, but if she were to become President, it'd mean something extra since she's Hindu. (well, that, and I know her personally.)



Well I'm pretty sure what Kembal actually said is that she would love to see this specific person become President on the basis of what religion they are alone, so...thanks for your input, I guess?

To be clear, I know all 4 Hindu Congressmen/women personally, and have raised funds for all 4 of them. I don't consider all 4 Presidential material.

Donald Trump answered the question before you asked it..


Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump taunted Democrats by telling them "Pocahontas is now the face of your party" -- his insult of choice for Sen. Elizabeth Warren -- during a meeting with senators earlier this week, sources told CNN.

The President also used the Thursday meeting at the White House to again surface unfounded claims of voter fraud during the 2016 presidential election.

The sources said the Warren moment came up in the context of Trump's impromptu analysis of the state of the Democratic Party. Trump made his comments in what appeared to be a reference to Warren's criticism of Attorney General Jeff Sessions during his confirmation process. Her comments prompted Republicans to invoke an arcane rule to cut her off.

The moment galvanized Democrats and has elevated Warren's standing among progressives.

Trump used his pejorative campaign nickname for Warren -- a reference to her claims of having Native American ancestry -- several times during the meeting, which one source described as "equal parts bizarre and completely awkward."

At one point, Trump said the only reason Warren claimed Native American heritage was "because she has high cheekbones," one of the sources said.

I sort of agree with Clyder.. Warren is trying very hard to become the face of the Democrat Party. Granted, she is best known for making up her heritage to abuse diversity quotas.. but liberals don't consider that abusing.. they view it as showing initiative!

I hope she's put forth in 2020.. and we can all sigh a relief with 4 more years of Trump.

Although, 4 straight years of winning.. I might be sick of winning so much.

This is what is so fucking sad, they claim they need this money in order to compete with Republicans yet despite spending over $1 billion Hillary still lost.

Besides, Sanders proved that you don't need big corporate money to raise a shit ton of money.

Now there pathetic excuse on not reinstating the ban is because they're concerned over the future of their party and need the money! I guess as long as they have liberals like Kembal that defend them at every turn they don't have to worry about what the progressives in the party think.
