After the performance yesterday by the liberals in California at the Democratic Convention, Trump may skate to an easy win.

The welcoming cheers 2020 presidential hopeful John Hickenlooper received when he first graced the stage at California's Democratic Convention quickly crumbled into boos and jeers after he rejected socialism as the answer to Democrats' problems.

"If we want to beat Donald Trump and achieve big progressive goals, socialism is not the answer," Hickenlooper said to a crowd of more than 4,500 delegates and observers on Saturday.
Before he could get finish his next sentence, a chorus of boos along with a sea of waving "Bernie" signs overtook his speech, lasting for more than 30 seconds. The moment prompted Hickenlooper to attempt a smile and eventually break from his remarks to add, "You know, if we're not careful, we're going to end up helping to re-elect the worst president in history."
The former Colorado governor is one of 15 Democratic candidates to address the San Francisco crowd, which is known to be home to some of the party's furthest left progressives.
The moment seemed to pass until Hickenlooper started to speak about "pragmatism."
"We shouldn't try to achieve universal coverage by removing private insurance from over 150 million Americans," he said to growing boos. "We should not try to tackle climate change by guaranteeing every American a government job."

Hilarious and sad. I actually feel for any mainstream Democratic candidate. They now have to contend with the radical leftists who refuse to listen to reason. What a bunch of twits.

RIP moderate Dems

The GOP is a dying organization that can't figure out how to even win a popular vote win. Americans hate the GOP and the pretender precedent.

Good thing you don’t speak for all Americans. Just your fellow trolls.

I suspect this will be hard for you to process, but please give it a try OK?

The fact that 37% of Americans say the country is headed in the right track is a BIG improvement....because before the election, for most of 2016, only 20-25% of Americans said the same

Thank you Mr. Trump!!

He can't hear you he's too busy having a wonderful time in jolly old UK

Look how happy he is!

Yes. He does look very happy. And, so does the queen.

Remember the story about how the Queen drove around the king of Saudi Arabia and scared him. I wonder how she’ll punk the trump.

She already gave him the condensed book. Too bad it wasn't a picture book.

He's what I call a "weak" Trump supporter: voted for him because he was sick of the status quo, encouraged everyone to "give Trump a chance" after the Inaugeration, and generally is very uncomfortable when minority Americans talk about "justice."

Now? He's completely opposed to Trump. He finds him to be despicable, both in his personal conduct and lack of respect for the troops on this Memorial Day weekend. He's excited about Biden, but admits he will likely vote for anyone the Democrats nominate.

I'd say that's the general sentiment among much of the independent white Boomer electorate.

Maybe among the wealthy class, but certainly not among those still working hard and building their 401k...

You're saying a traveling bathtub salesman still working at age 65 is among "the wealthy class"? Um, OK.

I did not and cannot judge any particular person. What I do notice is that independent boomers in my workplace seem to appreciate the labor market we have and the significant 401k increase they have seen since 2016.

Whether they will vote against their interests is to be seen.

Your problem is this assumption. A non-Trump Presidency can still be synonymous with economic growth and investment.

Not if the policies the current crop of candidates are advocating.

True.

Trumps getting re-elected. The only voters responding to the “we hate trump” call to arms are in this forum. That’s not enough lunatic leftists to get Kampala, or Liz, or buttgag, or creepy joe elected. Unfortunately for the dems , trump has masterfully painted them into a corner where opposing trump means opposing economic growth and national sovereignty. Guess what the electorate cares about?
Not sure any of the dem candidates are smart enough to realize this. I know they’re not smart enough to get themselves out of it.

Yes, Your very correct. The Dems don't know there candidates are gonna get ass whooped by master of 3D chess, trump.

^ love when the MAGA brain trust chimes in

Perhaps you should look in the mirror since you don’t seem to realize you’re responding to the jackass liberal troll.

Haha! On point.

Nope , I speak for a majority of Americans. You are the shameful minority backing the liar, fraud and the worst president in our history.

She has, by communists and fascists like yourself.

That's why she's so happy with Trump.

What do you make of the 2018 midterms? Do you think that they weren't quire as good for Democrats as the Democrats and regular analysis seems to think?

Do you think that was an anomaly but the women who voted in Democrats in the midterms will come home to the Republican party in 2020 - and if so why?

You don't need to say the word "borders" or "wall" or "ILLEGALS" because I will just assume that is part of your reasoning. I'd really just like to hear how you incorporate the 2018 blue wave into your analysis.

Not as complex as you seem to believe.

Obama had much more of a thumping in 2010, and still won in 2012.

Same with Clinton if I recall.

The mid-terms tend to have lower participation rates and different dynamics than presidential elections.

You are wrong about participation, as the "poorly educated" often are. 2018 midterm participation was the highest in over a century.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/04/23/trumps-midterm-rebuke-came-most-diverse-electorate-history/?utm_term=.01052bb38f24

Still lower than 2016, right?

"The 2020 U.S. presidential election is rapidly coming into view – and so is the electorate that will determine its outcome.

If these trends continue, it’s a good sign for Democrats; they have a long history of winning over younger voters and women by huge numbers, as well as having a strong hold on urban areas."

https://www.vox.com/2019/4/26/18516645/2018-midterms-voter-turnout-census

"While demographic changes unfold slowly, it’s already clear that the 2020 electorate will be unique in several ways. Non-whites will account for a third of eligible voters – their largest share ever – driven by long-term increases among certain groups, especially Hispanics. At the same time, one-in-ten eligible voters will be members of Generation Z, the Americans who will be between the ages 18 and 23 next year. That will occur as Millennials and all other older generations account for a smaller share of eligible voters than they did in 2016."

Hey Boomers?

Is optimism still high if you think millennials are going to come out and vote in record numbers?

I’m Gen X and couldn’t care less what millennials do or don’t do. They are the laughingstock of the nation.

Will you laugh at them as they head to vote in record numbers?
