Pritzker Rebukes ‘Do-Nothing Democrats’ who ‘Lack Guts, Gumption’ Over Trans and Immigrant Scapegoating Following 2024 Losses

By Nancy Thorner –

And now there are five Democrat presidential 2020 contenders left:  Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Michael Bloomberg and Tulsi Gabbard.

UPDATE: Since this was published Monday morning, Bloomberg dropped out. Now there are four Democrat candidates.

Socialist Bernie Sanders must be feeling  quite confident in his Socialist bid to be president, because even before yesterday's Super Tuesday took place he'd made a big campaign move.

Just before the biggest day of the Democratic 2020 primary campaign – when fourteen states held nominating contests to pick who they think should square off this fall against likely GOP nominee President Trump and where people headed to the polls all across the country from Virginia to California, and Tennessee to Texas- Sanders hired Podesta protege and Mrs. Clinton’s Faiz Shakir to manage his campaign.

Mr. Shakir is Muslim; his parents are from Pakistan.  Before joining Bernie Sanders' campaign he was the national political director of the ACLU.  He is also a Harvard graduate that worked for John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi.

Vermont's Sen. Bernie Sanders undoubtedly has momentum as a Democrat presidential candidate. His campaign manager Shakir,said he raised a record-shattering $46 million in February. Bringing his overall haul to a staggering $167 million; reportedly from grassroots supporters of his anti-establishment Socialist platform; claiming their average donation was $21.

If the likes of Bernie Sanders wins the White House, the US government will be populated by bureaucrats that never worked to produce any needed physical products and never signed a paycheck. They will have no knowledge of what it takes to run a business and will run a nation of 300 million people. Bernie's mantra takes from the rich and gives to the poor. That policy has been tried before and what was the result? Everybody became poor.

Sanders has yet to explain the massive size and scope of his spending and tax proposals, which, depending on the estimate, would cost $50 trillion to $60 trillion over the next 10 years. That would roughly double the size of the federal government, an unprecedented increase outside of wartime.

In a statement, Sanders' Muslim campaign manager Faiz Shakir said fundraising doesn't necessarily show who's going to win primaries, but it's an important indication.

Meanwhile, rival Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who's yet to place above third place in the four early-voting states, reported a $29 million haul last month, her campaign manager, Roger Lau said in a memo that Warren still has a path to the nomination.

What now unites the Democrat Party is their hatred of President Trump and their unwavering desire to remove him from office. It remains to be seen if Sanders will remain the front runner beating out Biden & Bloomberg.

Should Sanders eventually be the Democrat candidate to go up against President Trump will the Democrat faithful voters come out to support the Socialist Sanders on November 3, 2020? Unlikely.

Biden was helped on the eve of Super Tuesday when the Democrat establishment and Amy Kloubacar and Pete Buttigieg endorsed him as the Democrat war horse (or hero) with the intellect to defeat Bernie Sanders.

In that both Amy and Pete advised their delegates to throw their support to Biden suggests a payoff, either by Biden's campaign or by the DNC, which is terrified of what Bernie Sanders at the top of the ticket could do to senators and House members seeking re-election in November.

So now the Democrats are left with Sanders, Biden, Bloomberg and Warren – plus Tulsi Gabbard. The next two Tuesdays are sure to give more indication of who Donald Trump will face in November 2020.
