Yes and the Republican Candidate had quite a few flaws himself (like being the least like candidate in history for one). The difference though is that he had a base that loved him, while Hillary didn't. I had the same attitude as you 4 years ago. I liked Bernie better, but kind of wanted Hillary to win because I thought she'd fare better in the general election since she was more "moderate". Looking back though, Bernie did far better in the primary than Hillary with white, working class males, and he could have gotten college kids to turn out. I think he would have won all the states that Hillary won, and probably would have taken Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin as well which would have swung the election.

Yeah, perhaps not "good character" doesn't always turn out the base. In fact on The Republican side the opposite proved to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mano Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 As for Harris, the weed comment is, as mug stated earlier, is nothing. I have liked the little I have seen of her, but to be honest I really don't know that much about most of the candidates at this point. I would wager that I would prefer all of their characters over that of the sitting POTUS once I get to know them a bit more.

I don’t think it would stand up in court. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/former-president-becomes-vice-president/ Above pretty much says it is an undecided issue, and if it ever came up would likely have to go to courts for an answer.

SalinasSpartan Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Man, Kamala got roasted in the comments section of the full interview on YouTube. When I watched the interview the video had more dislikes then likes, which is hard to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonkee Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 We all want this wonderful common sense moderate with charisma but we're in the primary. A dem is going to have to go decently left to get through to the general. You may get a more moderate candidate in the end but you won't right now.

Joe from WY Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I'd vote for Tulsi before I voted for Trump. I'm a huge fan of hers. But I wouldn't vote for Kamala or any of the other extremists who're chasing the nomination crown. I'd vote for Biden too maybe, but he hasn't declared yet. I've hated Kamala since she was DA in San Francisco and sent more people to prison than Caligula. That said, this rap gaffe makes me wonder, does Kamala also walk around with packets of hot sauce? Or did she in the mid-80s while listening to Snoop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie probably had the most character out of any real contender in 2016 (I'm including Trump, Cruz, Hillary, and Bernie here) and also was probably the most dangerous one to me policy wise. Well he is a character, that’s for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
