Here are some potential democratic Presidential candidates for 2020.
Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York
Sen. Kamala Harris of California
“Any Democrats who want to be the nominee need to stand on the right side of this,” Stamp said. “Even if they don’t say ‘abolish ICE,’ they can’t not address it.”
Angel Padilla, policy director at the grassroots group Indivisible, said ICE “terrorizes communities” and that Gillibrand’s move “demonstrates where the progressive base is.”
Since it’s very difficult to run against a sitting president, desperate candidates could take desperate strategy to boost their chance.
“Abolishing ICE” helped the 28 year old Latina to upset the #4 Democrat Joe Crowley. I guess many ambitious democrats are taking notice and rushing to the movement. NY senator and MA senator are much more progressive on this push than CA senator, probably because Crowley is in NY, and they are very familiar with this surprising win.
If these wacky progressives run , Trump will be re elected. He won on immigration and is just carrying out his mandate. The US is a nation of laws . Illegal immigrants are not a protected class except in SF.
I bet Elizabeth Warren will get the Democratic nomination. She will lose to Trump.
With the Cali primary moved from June to March’s "Super Tuesday, many candidates are going to be coming (finally…) to the Golden State to campaign. During 2016 I attended a Bernie rally. Pretty interesting to experience - the passionate crowd, the unedited stump speech, etc.
If Candidate X were to come to your town in the next few months, would you take a day off to attend? If so, who is your Candidate X list?
Full disclosure - I’d attend another Bernie rally. The rest bore the living scat out of me.
I don’t support Bernie, but really really hoped we’d see a Bernie / Trump general election during the 2016 cycle. That kind of radical “A/B” choice would have been interesting to see. As I think Jefferson said, “every so often a little revolution is a good thing” - a paraphrase at best. Unfortunately Bernie was thoroughly boned by HRC’s cabal at the DNC as we have come to find out. It’s going to be Biden and Harris as VP. (blegh… Harris is such a terrible person, but Biden has to balance the ticket)
Still I’d go to a Bernie rally only for the “event” it represents. A deadly serious Socialist/Communist running for POTUS who had a chance (2016) and may still in 2019. I support nothing that Bernie is peddling, but I absolutely admire his commitment to his cause. One could only wish for Bernie’s level of honesty in all of the 2020 candidates.
Bernie is a gadfly and bullshit artist. He has absolutely no specific plans on how to achieve a socialist utopia. He just parrots 60s rhetoric. Not an original thought in his head.
He, and those who support him, need as much disinfecting sunshine spotlighted on them as possible.
Trouble is though that most of the 236 other candidates quietly support every program The Bern does. I like that Bernie is vocal and clear about “theft of other people’s money” rather than the majority others in the disingenuous Left. Give a forum to the radicals like Bernie so that the cowards that won’t go “full Socialist” can see how goofy, and anti-American, their ideas are in the open court of public opinion.
This is straight up amazing. Bernie is always attacking Amazon as paying starvation wages. Amazon’s minimum wage is $15/hr, and Amazon warehouse associates get paid overtime. Bernie makes his people salaried, so there’s no overtime. They figured out they were making less than $15/hr.
