    I've seen many posts on different boards (and here also) that someone basically took the opinion that "If we had just talked to Uncle Ho post-WWII he was looking for someone to back him up". I'm sure he was.

    Uncle Ho was an avowed commie from the 1920's! Die-hard. Given the post-WWII "Great Anti-Communism Campaign" of our government there was no way in Hell that Uncle Ho was ever going to be welcomed by us with open arms.

    Most of the schmucks who push that "kinder, gentler Ho" view have been Howard Zinn-ite Closet Commies themselves, or propagandized by the Zinn-Brinkley school of "People's Historians." These people also studiously dismiss the Venona Intercepts and other evidence that between direct plants and fellow-travelers Soviet Commies were interfering in our government bureaucracy almost as soon as they finished setting up their own murderous regime.

    Okay, seriously, what's going on here?

    Bernie is praising Cuba, we all knew that. Now Biden is saying he is running for Senate and that 150MM people died in the last 12 years from guns. And what the hell is a "first time home boner"? Bloomturt getting slapped around is fun, but then he gets flustered and admits to buying house seats? Are they just f*cking with us now?

    Supposedly, sleepy Joe won SC:

    They will support anyone they think can beat Trump, and literally don't care what their policies are, or even if they know what planet they're on, etc. Trying to convince them X Dem is a poor choice due to Y reasons, has no impact on those with TDS.

    Why some black voters support Biden is a mystery to me. I'd like them to name a single thing he's done for black people in his entire political career. More black and latino voters support Trump than many realize for polls show as they know they'll be attacked and disowned for that, so they tend to be keeping a low profile. I can say in the small sample I know, will Vote Trump, especially if Sanders ends up front runner. They really don't like Sanders.

    Really doesn't matter who gets the dim nomination, Biden, Sanders, Bloomberg & Hillary... None have a chance at beating Trump. Polls can't be trusted. If Sanders doesn't get it the Bernie Bots will make a mess of the cities, at least they said so. I think quite a few that are saying they are voting the dem ticket will pull for Trump in the booth.

    Why not Biden? Because Chris Wallace and Chuck Todd are so alike...

    They have a chance.

    The odds are on Trump's side today, for sure. Mainly due to the economy and the bungled Democrat attempts at a coup, which only helped him politically. But there is a wildcard: coronavirus. The Democrats and Left are already trying to lay blame with the Trump administration. So far the public isn't buying it on any large scale. But if the coronavirus death toll, and its economic and other social disruptions become too massive, it could reach a tipping point where the public becomes scared enough that they're looking to government for answers. In those crisis type situations, the Left has an advantage because they're promising more direct aid and government intervention, which sounds appealing if you're in dire need.

    You can count on it that whoever wins the Democrat nomination, the Lefties will all fall in behind them. And if coronavirus causes dire enough circumstances, the nominee will have an opportunity to exploit that and play on people's fear. Fear is an excellent political tool, and historically those who can exploit it skillfully do very well.
