Yeah I knew the third party voting had gone up a good bit. I think if we saw a similar jump up this time it would directly impact the race.Another big factor in 2016 was the 3rd party (Others) vote. It increased in every single state as well as DC. Over 5.5 million more votes were cast for someone other than the 2 major party candidates in 2016 compared to 2012. It will be interesting to see who the 3rd party candidates are in 2020. I figure much of Gary Johnson's vote (4.9m) will return to the Republicans as well as Evan McMullin's (0.8m). Stein has less than 1.5m and there were a little less than 1.2m that voted for Freak.

We would.I bet they would even still run big deficits.
Pete’s service record makes Al Gore look like Patton.I think it will eventually come out that he joined only to pad his resume to run for President. He most likely got preferential treatment for the length and/or location of his deployment. I wouldn't trust that little sh!t as far as I could throw him.
Why are we bagging on a guy who served 7 months in Afghanistan? Pretty low. Attack his policies. He even jokingly refers to his time as “military Uber.” He doesn’t claim to be Patton.
The Independent left will rob a crap ton of votes from the Dems, no matter who the candidate is. If Bernie is the candidate, lots of moderates will go elsewhere. If anyone but Bernie is the candidate, BerniBros will refuse to vote for them. The Dems are in a very bad spot right now with the major rift they have in their base.Another big factor in 2016 was the 3rd party (Others) vote. It increased in every single state as well as DC.

How would any of that be an embellishment? Which of those things has he not done? Battle fatigues, seen the Afghanistan horizon, or held a rifle? Seems pretty low key.Just likes to embellish his prowess in the Afghan theater a bit.
Pete Buttigieg strides past an oversized photograph of himself dressed in fatigues, the Afghan horizon behind him, as he enters a Des Moines arena for an Iowa Democratic Party gala. "In his first Iowa television ad, he holds a rifle and points it toward the rubble at his feet, introducing himself, “As a veteran."
So Bloomberg is the new Joe?
