2020 Presidential Election: let the jockeying commence

Meanwhile the Dow is over 27,000 today. If the economy continues at this pace, the dems do not stand a chance.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see them intentionally try to cause an economic downturn somehow just to to blame Trump. No idea how they would do that, but it wouldn't surprise me.
 
All that would have to happen to hurt the economy (at least on the surface) is raise the Fed Reserve rate. That would choke off economic activity. That is probably why you have heard Trump telling the Fed Chairman to keep the rates low.

Now, long term, the rates need to be allowed to float so that they represent the true consumer value of consumption vs. savings. Right now the Fed has turned the dial past what is natural. The effect is that the loan market looks like there is more savings out there than there really is. Which means business investments are eating up real capital for goods/services that are not profitable (i.e. less preferred than other goods/services).
 
So it looks like healthcare will be a top priority for the Democratic primary. It's amazing that nearly a decade after the so-called "Affordable" Care Act was passed, the Dems are allowed to speak without shame on this topic. They want to propose a major overhaul of a system to fix the last major overhaul they passed without a single Republican vote.
 
¿Qué pasó Beto?

Been noticing quite a few new 'Pete for President' bumper stickers on Subarus
He seems to be gathering some momentum

Cruz isn't Beto's father. He's his Daddy.

Poor Beto. Everybody but him knows it's over. I guess he's hanging around for a possible VP slot. If Buttigieg gets it, he might want a pretty, surfer boy as a running mate.

He won't. Beta is ruined.
 
I think white male politicians are going to find that you can't get anywhere being a Democrat SJW. Notice Biden and Sanders both pushed back on the idea that they had to apologize for their sex and race. Sanders actually said people should be judge on their merits. He doesn't have any but the rhetoric worked. O'Rourke descended deeper into the SJW cave into oblivion. He basically de-personed himself as a politician.

He called the US system racist and then it came out that his family owned slaves back in the day. He done.

Well since George Washington owned slaves lets retroactively forfeit the revolutionary war. Sorry England, will you take us back?
 
Bernie raising his staff hourly rate to $15 per hour after complaints surfaced that he wasn’t following his own “living wage” mantra.

Of course, he needs to cut their hours to pay for it. Feel the burn?

And yet people will still say the minimum wage needs to be raised. This is exactly what will happen to many businesses. They will have to cut hours.

Morons.
 
The minimum wage is a classic example of what should be a state and local issue. We shouldn't have a federal minimum wage.
 
I would prefer it to be a supply and demand issue.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner. There are 2 huge problems with minimum wage laws.

First, they are lies. The real minimum wage is $0, not whatever number a lawyer writes in a bill.

Second, they lead to increased unemployment.
 
What am I missing? Or don't understand?
Republicans assert raising the minimum wage by law results in loss of jobs or hours
Bernie and the other Dem candidates campaign for $ 15.00 hr minimum wage.
Bernie gets caught not paying his own staffers $15.00 .
When they complain he raises their hourly wage BUT as predicted in a post above he cut their hours.
Bernie Sanders admits he will CUT the hours of staffers who are not getting the $15 minimum wage | Daily Mail Online

How stupid is he ? Will the other candidates continue to call for the increase?

It isn't that he is stupid. It's that many of the people ranting about needing $15/hr. are stupid. They are stupid enough to keep voting for Democrats.
 
Bernie is like socialists all over the world. The laws they make aren't for the socialist party elite. They're for the dumbasses who voted them into power in the first place.
 
I don't like Socialists
I don't like corporate a-holes
I don't like religious zealots
I don't like arrogant atheists
I don't like racists
I don't like race-baiters
I don't like borrow and spend
I don't like tax and spend
I don't like politicians
I don't like activists
I don't like Trump
I don't like AOC

It's not how stupid he is; it's how stupid his followers are. They believe in the feel good rhetoric.
