Yeah. Right or wrong, the GOP would rather run against Bernie than Biden. The question is whether they are correct about Bernie's weaknesses or underrate his strengths. The basic reasoning behind moderate candidates being stronger is here: Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 What would really be interesting is if Biden wins and he goes to China, Ukraine, Russia....etc. and gets them too dig up dirt on Trump and all of his kid's activities come out. Link to comment

I get why they're mad. It's stupid Bloomberg can just wash the field with ads because he has unlimited money to get himself viable. But it's kind of a no-win situation for the DNC. You either ignore a guy who's legitimately in contention that a significant group of people want to hear from - and in the process up him up for critique from others - or leave him off the stage out of deference to the initial debate rules.

He can run all he wants to but it's kinda lame they bend the rules to allow Bloomberg(because he is rich and donated a crap ton of money) but then do whatever they can to keep people like Yang off the stage 1 Link to comment

Well...Progressives don't understand what they actually stand for, that is why they are up in arms. If you had a dude/Lady with unlimited cash come in and say "I am a progressive D" They would be totally fine about it (as they should be) I think him and Tom are interesting. I still think Yang gets treated like s#!t for not reason. Link to comment
