US Politics: He Predicted a Trump Win in 2016. What’s His Forecast For 2020? | NYT Opinion video

He Predicted a Trump Win in 2016. What’s His Forecast For 2020? | NYT Opinion

Right now, polls say Joe Biden has a healthy lead over President Trump. But we’ve been here before (cue 2016), and the polls were, frankly, wrong. One man, however, was not.

The historian Allan Lichtman was the lonely forecaster who predicted Mr. Trump’s victory in 2016 — and also prophesied the president would be impeached. That’s two for two. But Professor Lichtman’s record goes much deeper.          Continue reading →

U.S.– Bigoted pasts return to haunt top Democratic presidential candidates seeking black votes

02/20/2020 – 11:09 pm

 — By MOHAMED HAMALUDIN

Corey Booker, Kamala Harris and Deval Patrick’s exiting the race for the Democratic presidential nomination leaves only white candidates, some carrying baggage that diminishes their appeal to African Americans.

Joe Biden claims the African American vote because he was Barack Obama’s vice president. But, as a Delaware senator, he vehemently opposed busing, saying in a 1975 newspaper interview recently unearthed by The Washington Post: “The real problem with busing is that you take [white] people who aren’t racist, people who are good citizens, who believe in equal education and opportunity, and you stunt their children’s intellectual growth by busing them to an inferior school. … I do not buy the concept, popular in the ’60s, which said, ‘We have suppressed the black man for 300 years and…in order to even the score, we must now give the black man a head start or even hold the white man back.’”            Continue reading →

Impeachment aside—Is everything all right with a Democratic field so White – By Yvonne Sam

01/06/2020 – 12:18 am

 — By Yvonne Sam

Candidates of color out of the presidential  race by the restrictions, rules and norms in place.

On December 19, the day after President Donald Trump was impeached by the House for abuse of power, the Democratic presidential candidates held their final debate of the year at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. On the stage were Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar, along with Mayor Pete Buttigieg, former Vice President Joe Biden, billionaire Tom Steyer and entrepreneur Andrew Yang, the only non-white contender.  Visibly absent from the lineup was Cory Booker and Kamala Harris who regrettably is completely out of the race, although former President Barack Obama  recently said that women were better leaders.  https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/17/us/politics/democratic-debate-labor-marymount.html

U.S: The black vote is not monolithic but there is too much at stake for divisiveness – By Mohamed Hamaludin

12/12/2019 – 12:33 am

— By MOHAMED HAMALUDIN

When the next Democratic presidential debate is held on Dec. 19 at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, at least six white candidates will be on the stage: Joe Biden, former Vice President under President Barack Obama; Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Indiana; Amy Klobuchar, Minnesota senator; Bernie Sanders, Vermont senator; Tom Steyer, hedge fund manager; and Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts senator. New York tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang, who is of Taiwanese descent, qualified on Tuesday.

Those likely to be absent include New Jersey Senator Corey Booker, an African American; former housing secretary Julian Castro, a Latino; and Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, a Samoan native. For a joyous moment, the candidates reflected the diversity of the party.    Continue reading →

US ELECTIONS: Too many Democrats are running for president in 2020. But there’s an easy fix – commentary

11/27/2019 – 9:25 pm

None of the four top Democratic candidates poll consistently above 30% – ranked-choice voting, however, can determine who people actually support

Democrats in Iowa will caucus in early February, barely two months away, and finally cast the first votes of presidential nomination season.

There’s an elite tier of four candidates: former vice-president Joe Biden, South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg, the Vermont senator Bernie Sanders and the Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren. None of them, however, poll consistently above 30% in national surveys. Many Democrats see one or more of them as too old or too inexperienced; too far left or too moderate.

11/11/2019 – 12:35 am

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s expected entrance into the 2020 race is being interpreted by many Democrats as a clear challenge to former Vice President Joe Biden‘s moderate presidential bid.

USA: Democrats: Generational divide in Wakanda has potential to dethrone King Joe Biden – By Mohamed Hamaludin

09/26/2019 – 12:21 am

In U.S. Democratic presidential campaign, generational divide in Wakanda has potential to dethrone King Joe Biden

By MOHAMED HAMALUDIN

Joe Biden is the overwhelming choice among African American voters for the Democratic presidential nomination but with the nominating convention still 10 months away, that may change. News reports have indicated that they are focused on electability, especially older voters, but that some younger ones are looking for other reasons to support a candidate and a “primary within the primary” is taking place, as Errin Haines of the Associated Press put it.

African Americans are about 13 percent of the population but nearly 24 percent of Democratic primary voters, compared to about 40 percent of whites. When they stay home, they affect the outcome of the primary and the general election.          Continue reading →
