While
technically not decided yet, the 2020 primaries for the major party candidates are
more or less over, even if Biden, the only candidate left in the race, still
hasn’t gotten all of the delegates he needs to yet. I will talk some about what
has happened thus far in the race while talking about the results of it and
whether or not something could change with either party. I will also share some
Daily Kos articles of varying importance since they are a bit outdated to put
on my own facebook page where I was wanting to put it on originally.
Let’s
start by talking about the Republican results. It shouldn’t be too surprising that
the guy in the White House got an easy win. But you may not have known or
remember that there were people besides Trump that were in the race on the
Republican side. There were four people of varying importance, one of whom is
not worth mentioning and is trying to get a third party nod now, even though
this should be against sore loser laws. Former Congressman and governor Mark
Standford was in the race, but dropped out before Iowa. Former State
Representative from Illinois, Joe Walsh, dropped out after the Iowa primary. I
was planning to vote for him at one point. Seriously. The only other major
person was Bill Weld who dropped out only after Trump got all the delegates
needed to secure the nomination. Bill was lucky enough to get one single
delegate in New Hampshire. The RNC had no problem rigging the race against
those who aren’t Trump. They openly did this too.
Bill
Weld may not have done that well in the race, but people did keep track of the
race and that he might have done better than a lot of other people did or could
have. Here’s a link to a story about his time in the race.
Let’s
face it: Trump doesn’t care about if the election is fair or not this year. He
didn’t want to admit that Russia hacked us in 2016 because it would make him
look bad and undermine his win. He also would help them do what they need to in
order to help him win again. And it violates his oath of office as it is
treason. Russia will probably try to strike us again.
At
least Joe Walsh, one of the people who originally supported the guy in the
White House has since turned on the man and will refuse to support him. Thanks
Joe for joining the never Trump crowd and be sure to stay here until the end.
Here’s a link to his new side.
For
some reason, the guy in the White House was wanting Bernie Sanders as his
opponent. This did not happen in the end. It might be a good thing. But why did
Trump want Bernie to be his opponent? Simply put, despite the polling saying
that Bernie would beat Trump, Trump still felt that he had a better chance
against Bernie. He even openly told Republicans to abandon their party’s
primary in open primary states, especially when they didn’t have one. Here’s a
link to a story about this:
Meanwhile,
the Democratic race had tons of people in it, but they all dropped out over
time leaving only Biden left. I hated how Elizabeth Warren’s campaign failed
the way it did. So many people thought that it was too late for her and they
were sadly right about that. I won’t go into the failures of all the
candidates. While I wanted Bernie Sanders to win, I understand that he did a
lot of things that brought his campaign down like his 30% comment or other
things that did not make as much news as it could have. Don’t believe the
narrative that things were rigged against Bernie as that is as patently false
as that thing on Trump’s head. For whatever reason, people wanted Joe Biden to
be the nominee. I don’t think that he was a safe source (nor do I believe that
such a thing exists, especially after the 2016 election where Hillary Clinton
was the so called safe choice), but I will be voting for him unless he somehow
isn’t the nominee.
One
of the more high profile candidates in the Democratic race who left the race
before the first primary happened was Cory Booker. He may not have done as well
as many of us were wanting him to. But I don’t think that his failure relates
to the reason mentioned here.
There
was a lot of niceness in the Democratic primary, despite how it might have come
off to some in the debates. Still, when people looked for their friendship
outside of when they had to face each other, they were able to show that even
after these fights on stage.
Sadly,
not all went well in the first state. There was a good reason why, based on
info that came out later about it that you may not have known. While it was a
disaster, it might not have been just one that the Democrats did as people
might think.
It
only makes sense to get rid of Trump at this point. I don’t know what is wrong
with all of the people who support him still despite all the terrible things he
has said and done. The rest of the world outside of Russia and maybe North
Korea hate Trump.
What’s
also worth noting is that even some Republicans are now turning on Trump. In
addition to what Joe Walsh has said, others that you may not have heard of as
much but are still as important to the political world as other Republicans
have endorsed Biden.
It
is also worth mentioning the allegations against Biden. It a moment that was a
bit funny, Trump brought up his own allegations when asked to talk about
Biden’s. Trump strangely felt that someone other than him was falsely accused
of something, going as far to imply that it was false, these Biden allegations,
if only because his worse ones are believed to be false (by him) as well. The
woman who accused Biden, Tara Reade, was not vocal any time before this, at
least, not with her current allegations, at least. Unlike Christine Blasey
Ford, Tara’s story has changed a lot and these links help prove more against
these claims of her.
There
was another accusation that was made against Biden, but it barely made the news
just to how unlikely it was to have happened. I mean, can you read this link
and say anything that was credible in this claim?
Going
back to Republicans against Trump, there is one called the Lincoln Project that
is called Mourning in America. I have a link to a story about it and a video of
this ad itself. We need to remember that Trump is not what a real Republican is
like, but Lincoln is.

As
we look forward to the election for president this year, don’t both with any of
the third party candidates or trying to put Bernie Sanders as a write-in. It is
effectively Trump versus Biden now. It only makes sense to vote for Biden
for president. Unless the Democrats are somehow putting forth a different nominee
in the end, then Biden is the candidate to vote for. He will be quite a great
president. And if Trump somehow isn’t the nominee, then still vote for Biden or
the Democrat running for president.
