re: #133 Hecuba’s daughter

Democratic voters are same but the Bernie cult is as fanatic and devoted as the Trump cult. Bernie could win by carrying 15% of the voters and driving the rest out.

But maybe not. I had lunch yesterday with a non-political friend who had a couple comments about 2020 — she cannot understand how intelligent people support Trump (and there are many in her husband’s family) and she really likes Mayor Pete.

I just think you are overestimating his appeal. If he doesn’t win Iowa and New Hampshire. He’s finished. He won’t win Nevada and he’s not winning South Carolina. Plus you have more states that have switched from caucuses to primaries, so that hurts him too. Plus I think more people are seeing his weaknesses. Look at this way, I know plenty of people who supported him last time that want someone else. I don’t know anyone who supported Clinton that now want him. We’re not going to have the same cast of characters as we enter the primaries.
