"SNIP.........

According to Rasmussen:

“Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden are among those touted as serious Democratic presidential contenders in 2020, but three-out-of-four Democrats think their party needs to turn to someone new.”

The conservative polling firm found that seventy-three percent of “likely Democratic voters” believe that the Democratic Party should promote someone new in the 2020 presidential race rather than a Democratic politician who has run in the past. Only 16 percent of poll respondents disagreed with the need for “fresh faces,” and another 11 percent of poll participants had no opinion on the matter or were undecided.

Among all “likely voters,” 65 percent of those Rasmussen spoke to said that the Democrats should find someone new to be their standard bearer in 2020.

Just 19 percent thought that the party should support a candidate who has run previously.

1. Yes, yes yes!

Jesus fucking Christ ENOUGH with the 70 to 80 year-olds already.

We need new blood!

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

7. I totally agree! n/t

[Gothmog]

2. This is a rassie poll

I do not trust Rassie polls

[applegrove]

3. I thought about not posting it because it was a Rassie. But Politicus USA had it up

so I thought they thought it was important too. Good that we talk about this now.

5. I was just about to say the same thing

Right wing poll is junk.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

4. Clinton better not run again

If she couldn't win against Trump the first time, then let someone else try. Running the candidate who lost the first time around is a lost cause and a waste of time. No Bernie either. I agree. We need someone new.

6. Of course with victory within reach,

Dems will walk away from success and pick the dark horses. One of the reasons the minority repug party has been kicking our asses for decades.

11. You do know the repugs have cheated on every election since...

Eisenhower's second term right. except maybe Daddy Bush, Right?.

Nixon committed treason with the North Vietnamese.

Ditto Reagan with the Iranians

W Bush in Florida with Jeb and Katherine Harris in 2000, in 2004 in Ohio with Ken Blackwell.

Trump in 2016 with Putin, Comey, Interstate Crosscheck and on and on and on.

[randr]

13. When up to 40% of eligible voters do not vote

cheating is a poor excuse for losing.

[brush]

14. It's a fact. You're blaming Dems when you should be acknowledging history...

and apportioning the blame to where it belongs instead of ignoring the fact that repugs are cheaters.

How about advocating getting out more of those non-voters instead as winning by a large enough margin as in the Obama campaigns is only way to beat the cheaters until we can get some control to put effective measures in place to stop the cheating.

[randr]

20. I am not "blaming" dems

I am holding them accountable to a higher stsndard. I believe if we wave our flag high enough political skeptics will follow.

15. I interested in knowing WHO you think should be our nominee?

President Obama was very much a dark horse in 2008. It's all about having a message that is sane and working your ass off on the campaign trail.

[randr]

19. Obamas speech at 2004 convention

placed him in the running and gave all other candidates a goal to shoot for. I can not think of anyone, at this time, who holds such an advantage.
My reply was more directed toward the down ticket Democrats currently in office who need our support.
My litmus test will be if they, in anyway, did not do all they could do to oppose the mobster.

8. CNN's Chris Cuomo agrees

he said the other night he doesn't see anyone on the Democratic side right now that will beat Trump.

[RandySF]

9. I kind of like Jay Inslee at the moment

Ok, tell me what’s wrong with him.

[G_j]

10. agreed

such was the case with Obama.

[Nero Mero]

12. Same day: Cuomo expand his lead over Cynthia Nixon to 36%

NY Respondents say they prefer a candidate with experience

16. Sorry, Noxon seems a bit clueless.

A more polished Dem might give Gov. Cuomo more of a fight.

[gulliver]

17. "New faces." We need intelligence, strength, and courage.

A mere change of "faces" isn't going to get anyone anywhere.

[GulfCoast66]

18. Adam Schiff?

I’m loving the guy. Talks truth to bullshit. Does not seem ambitious. Smart as a tack.

Trump would not debate him because he understands the times have changed and would throw out the old rules. Would ask him what Putin has in him that turns him into a puss. ( a term I generally dislike but in this case would be effective).

And Americans are starting to long for a regular person as president.

21. Rep Joe Kennedy, really liking him. Seems a decent sort and good campaigner.
