Democratic Primary Push for White House

[CRedskinsRule]

Once Klobuchar and Buttegieg drop out likely after Super Tuesday, Biden will start collecting more delegates. Bernie will make a showing, but Biden will end up winning. Bloomberg showed in the debates he isn't the candidate that will beat Trump. The question will be how many Sanders voters refuse to vote for Biden in the general election.

The democrats aren't putting a lifelong independent, who is a socialist, on their ticket. It's not happening.

I think I would be against blanket legalization.

Those things can get you and sometimes can creep up on you. Some dumb kid will eat one, not feel anything in 5 mins get impatient and eat like 2 more.

Its basically already legal in Maryland. I think there should be some paperwork and steps people have to go through to get a card.

The State is taxing it very high already almost to the point companies are starting to think they wont be making a profit.

It is making Maryland a ton of tax revenue.

You have pretty much described the same thing with young people and drinking. Make the legal age for purchase 21 then, like alcohol.

Or is this another political mistake in the career of most overrated? Am I missing something?

I think Obama might wait to endorse until the field is narrowed down. Obama should be focused on the big picture, which is supporting whatever candidate emerges from the smoke. Whoever it is, Sanders or Biden, it's going to be a tough sell convincing the moderates or progressives to throw their entire weight behind one candidate.

Should be 21 to drink, and 21 to smoke. Penalize driving while high the same way you penalize DUI, and train officers on signs they can look for to spot someone driving while high.

Add in high taxes on marijuana and you can have an effective policy vs what we have had the past 40 years. It is far too late for this obvious change to be made.

Could you imagine the effect on the upcoming election if Trump instructed the DOJ to stop prosecuting marijuana sales and made a broad commutation of all minor marijuana charges after the conventions. It would be YUGE.

It'd be one of the smartest moves he could probably make and it would immediately boost his minority vote.

So he probably won't do it

Timing would be critical, it has to be after the republican convention to prevent a huge backlash there, but far enough from the election to allow anti-legalization forces in the republican party to take a breath and not skip voting due to that issue.

I actually think he will try something like this. The candidates the Dems put up are white rich and very little holds the african american man to them.

Trump made it a point in his state of the union to recognize men and women of color. He attended a fresh start graduation while the dems were bickering on stage (doubt that made the msm), he has been touting historic unemplyment rates. I believe a grand gesture is coming that Trump sees as a knockout punch.
Remember the line what have you got to lose. If I were Trump's marketing manager, I would have an ad that starts off with the 7 (mostly old) white people fighting about who can get the "black and brown" people's vote, then flash 2015 unemployment numbers and 2020 numbers, ending with Trump saying what have you got to lose.

Buttegieg suspends his campaign. Wonder what happens with the Bernie Bros when Biden gets the nomination.

It was a smart play putting Pence as his coronavirus czar, if Pence fails he can blame it all on Pence, if Pence succeeds he can take credit for putting Pence in charge. And he doesn't have to worry about messaging or Pence saying something he doesn't like because Pence is a Trump loyalist.

.........................that's the way trump works ...takes credit for everything and the blame for nothing.
