Democratic Presidential Nominee 2020 Thread

[GOTURBACK]

IRS screwed up with new withholding tables. Before employers were withholding more with old tables. If you look at percentages you paid less tax this year generally. You just paid more this year at tax time because of the withholding screw up. I personally don't use my tax return as a savings account or ever expect a return. I pay what I owe and move on. Nothing to see here except a Trump ballooning deficit.

Maybe that is the case for you but like I said for the exact same agi my federal tax burden was $1000 dollars less that is a reduction no matter how you try and skew it.

As a fellow Ohioan, I shudder at that thought.

Simply hearing his voice elicits in me the very same feeling that I suspect that I would experience were I to chew on aluminum foil while shaving my head with a cheese grater.

Same. But I think he might be the next Vice President.

I'm not sure the Dems won't find a way to lose. They have plenty of candidates (to my mind) who have less than broad appeal.

I know several of them trigger my gag reflex.

Less taxes this year. What I was trying to say. Just paid less throughout the year and more at tax time. Still less tax.

Well, they are democrats after all. I don't like coyotes of any color. Always trying to steal something.

I don’t see any difference yet, they’re all trying to out-socialist each other.

Maybe Warren could save us from global warming with a rain dance.

...My question is who the GOP is going to run? Are they going to stay the course with Trump? I don't think he has the numbers to win. 40% won't get him reelected and that's been proven too many times. No wall, no Trump.

Gallup, who is usually 5 to 8 percent low against Trump took this poll:

Thinking about the job situation in America today, would you say that it is now a good time or a bad time to find a quality job? 69% said good. I believe people tend to vote for how they view their current economic situation. Be sure that Trump is going to promote that against more taxes and bigger government.

I think the further left that the current candidates push, the lower their chances are. Every week now, its like a game of how each is trying to up stage each other.

I used to think the leftward tendencies were unstoppable. That people want their socialism and they will have it, all costs, human, freedom, and financial, are on the table.

However, I'm perceiving some revulsion and recoil as the candidates try to upstage each other in their leftwing street cred.

This will be fun to watch.

This is just typical Primary shenanigans for both parties, which is how we get extremists as poor representatives of the bulk fo the party. The strategy will change completely in the general election.

Got to wonder, if someone like Biden gets the nomination, will all the Socialists decide not to vote for him? That would probably spell doom for the Democrats in 2020.
