Am I going crazy or did you say this yesterday too?The fact the Dems are pushing Obama out so quick is telling.
Panic setting in early.

I wouldn't say its a panic, but there is a growing sentiment that none of the current field would beat Trump the way an Obama like figure (or similar) would have beaten him. The Dems are still looking for that person with the election less than a year away, which is increasingly complicated by the fact that Dems are more factionalized now than in recent memory.The fact the Dems are pushing Obama out so quick is telling.

To be clear, that growing sentiment is to be found among big donors, not Democratic voters in general. Voters are about as happy with their choice of candidates as they've ever been.I wouldn't say its a panic, but there is a growing sentiment that none of the current field would beat Trump the way an Obama like figure (or similar) would have beaten him.

Obama coming out this early.
The Dems must be scared.
nonsense.To be clear, that growing sentiment is to be found among big donors, not Democratic voters in general. Voters are about as happy with their choice of candidates as they've ever been.
I'm sure Sanders fans are happy. Beyond that, the rest of the Democratic Party (as in the majority of Dems) don't seem particularly elated about having identified "The One" this cycle.To be clear, that growing sentiment is to be found among big donors, not Democratic voters in general.

If the voters want what Bernie and Warren are saying, then Bernie or Warren will be the candidate. If they're not, it's because the majority of the voters didn't want what they were saying. The jury is out on that one.I read the post you linked.
It seems most are not too happy with Obama's intervention.
The voters are tired of the same ol stuff.
They want what Bernie and Warren are saying.
But you cannot do that and please the corporations.
That is what this is about.

What a lovely poem.I read the post you linked.

The corporate candidates get a lot more favourable air time.
the best you can do?What a lovely poem.
That’s got nothing to do with what @nimic saidThe corporate candidates get a lot more favourable air time.
Also there are a lot of independent voters up for grab.
I interpret this as they are happy with the amount of candidate choices, not they are happy with having identified the one person they think can beat Trump. The verdict is definitely still out on the latter.
What does that have to do with Democratic voters being or not being happy with their choices?The corporate candidates get a lot more favourable air time.

The liberal media does not go out to find fault with corporate candidates.What does that have to do with Democratic voters being or not being happy with their choices?
btw It is not about "the one".I interpret this as they are happy with the amount of candidate choices, not they are happy with having identified the one person they think can beat Trump. The verdict is definitely still out on the latter.
Which wouldn't be addressed unless the Dems find "the one" who can beat Trump and actually implement policies.btw It is not about "the one".
Its about real solutions to what people are facing.
Again, what's your point? I didn't say that Democratic voters should be satisfied with their candidates, but that they are. Which they are. You called that nonsense, so I assumed you had something to say about it (and not whether or not the liberal media gives more air time to the corporate dems).The liberal media does not go out to find fault with corporate candidates.
Free air time for them.
You would think so, but the Dems are fractured and factionalized at the moment, which is precisely the sort of thing that Trump is relying on for next November - one of two angry Dem factions who are sulking about not having their candidate become the nominee, and as a result staying home to pout about it.There's no question in my mind that none of the current candidates have managed anything like the momentum Obama had going in 2007. He was a once in a life time candidate (at least in a short life time like mine up to now). The closest is Bernie with his supporters, but Obama didn't have nearly as many detractors within the dems as Bernie has. (I say all this despite being critical of him now)
But then it doesn't need Obama to beat Trump. Worth remembering even the non-charismatic Hillary only just about lost against him too. It really shouldn't be rocket science to beat him whoever the candidate will be.
Absolutely agree, if either half of the democrats starts sulking Trump won't even have to put up a fight. I'm just hoping 3 years (4 years then) of Trump will have been enough to concentrate minds on both sides. Might just be wishful thinking on my side.You would think so, but the Dems are fractured and factionalized at the moment, which is precisely the sort of thing that Trump will need next November - one of two angry Dem factions who are sulking about not having their candidate become the nominee, and as a result staying home to pout about it.

When you say 'the one' you are being sarcastic. Come on.Which wouldn't be addressed unless the Dems find "the one" who can beat Trump and actually implement policies.
