US Election 2020

[Sean Hayden]

Why don't you run for office Tero? What's the worst they could say about you, you're addicted to Amazon?

[Tero]

Running the first time is probably the biggest hurdle for any politcian. After winning, it gets easy. You only have to sell your soul.

[JimC]

Given that we don't have one, atheist politicians only have to pretend to sell their soul...

After the event, a screaming, red-faced Biden reportedly continued to share his inspiring vision by informing a group of unwitting Iowans that he could beat their asses with one hand tied behind his back.

however, nationwide Sanders is not there yet

[Scot Dutchy]

Who is bothered? Really?

[Tero]

We are. It will be one of those awful George W Bush moments when Trump wins over Sanders in a recount. Courts and governors will decide close votes. I have no family members without work or insurance, so we can easily last 4 years under Biden with current health plans. The republican after Biden, even 4 years later, can no longer destroy what healthcare we have.

[Scot Dutchy]

A great way to live? I mean...

[Tero]

Survival! We'll eat tomato soup and crackers till we get a Democrat back. Maybe a little fresh celery with that.

Siiux City had American Eagle flights

Iowa's biggest airport is in fact...Omaha.

Warren fell off a cliff huh?

[Tero]

Warren is hanging in there but since she is kind of presidential material, she will not be picked for VP. I never really was impressed by any VP. A bunch of losers and a few that were OK but not charismatic.

Biden campaigning in a watering hole in Iowa

you go there by tour bus

Pete B is next door in the metropolis of Cedar Rapids, which has some 9 Starbucks stores. Counties that have ZERO Starbucks stores are known to be 80-90% republican. In the middle of the USA here. In California, a Starbucks has much more power, just one store marks a vast Democratic stronghold.

The senators can jet there easily for a weekend, a major airport in Iowa
