We all know they are pandering to a certain base but they can't be ignorant enough to believe that it will get them elected, right? At this point in the game just go ahead and ink in President Trump for another 4 years.
The game of chess Trump is playing anointing Bernie and Biden as the "ones to beat" is pretty genius. This party is literally going to tear itself apart over the next year.
They already have one of those in that booty guy...Pete Buttigieg.

Beto released his and his wife's joint tax returns. The most recent was for 2017. Their charitable donations amounted to around 1/3 of 1% of their income, not exactly a tithe. Even Mrs. Malabar and I contributed more in actual dollars than he did, and we made far far less.
The average American family contributes around 2% only. I'm willing to cut any candidate slack as long as they contribute more than the average family.
Beto claims he contributed more, but didn't report it on his income taxes because he does it for the good, not for tax deductions. I don't believe it, and even if true, it's kind of convoluted ethically.
All that said, he's trying to unseat a candidate who hasn't shown his tax returns at all. In all likelihood, Trump only contributed to his own charity, and we know now that was a fraud.

All that you know is only what you've been told.

When asked about that at a press briefing, he claimed the press briefing (a form of campaigning) as an example his unreported charitable contributions. LOL.
Beto did that or Trump did?
Looks like Uncle Joe is gonna get sucked into the vortex.
The fake media is trolling Joe with polls showing him as the leader.
They know they'll get a nice ratings bump every time more evidence of Joe's predatory "personal style" surfaces.
A penny for your thoughts, Creepy Joe.

Dude, I don't care for Biden, but that's the ultimate in cherry-picked out of context photos. Congratulations, you found a picture of him looking down from talking to the girl next to him. Can't you find a picture to support your case in any of the dozens of documented incidents where he actually has acted like a filthy old man?

I see creepy but I guess Joe is just mentoring the young lady. My mistake.
Sleepy Joe enters the race.
Why would you volunteer to do this to yourself at this age?

Who would have ever thought that
not wanting to grant terrorist' who plant bombs in front of 8 year old children the right to vote would set you apart from a crowded field?
I’ve decided to throw my hat into the ring as a Democrat candidate. My campaign slogan is:
“Impeach Trump. No borders. Everything is free.”
How do you like it?
What’s that? It’s taken? By 12 other candidates?
(sigh) Never mind.

Clearly Joe has gone full-on fascist after all those years of working with Republicans.

What you are forgetting is that the message is much more sell-able when he is inappropriately rubbing you while telling you.
Well, I can admit when I'm wrong. Joe's campaign has lasted longer than 3 minutes.
