 Alright, so I want to talk about TI because lately he's been on a roll so first of all he exposed Candace Owens for the fraud and political hack that she is and On top of that he recently appeared on The View and he had a really astute political analysis So he talked about the 2020 election and who he believes is the candidate who was best suited to beat Donald Trump And this clip shows me that more so than most celebrities He really does seem to have his finger on the pulse of America and I've got to share it with you because what he says here Not only is it correct? But it's something that the audience of The View desperately needs to hear because they usually don't really get That great of political analysis there But TI said something that made a lot of sense I think and he broke it down in a way that I hope will resonate with their audience So I'm not going to take this as an endorsement of the candidate. He's going to talk about nonetheless. What he says spot on So who do you like now? I mean for me, it's anybody but Trump 2020. Okay Any functioning adult? Yeah, you know anyone who's fair and decent and you know not an international embarrassment Yeah Further is there anyone you think who could actually beat him really right now right now? I think that the only person that I see who has a base that's strong enough to oppose him is Bernie Bernie Sanders He's not Biden has got bigger numbers, but the Bightons. Yeah, I think that Bernie's base is more passionate Hmm. I think they're more passionate and I think that you know, he's the complete antithesis of What Trump represents? Yeah, but I think you're gonna have to have a strong vice president You know because a lot of people see that his age and his health is a factor So I think a strong vice president could relieve some of the doubt that exists. Maybe Amy Klobuchar Or Andrew Gilliam So that was great now it doesn't necessarily seem like he's willing to just straight up endorse Bernie Sanders But consider this ti if you're watching which he's not but if you were to see this He said that in terms of who he's supporting quote. It's anybody but Trump yet Simultaneously, he thinks that Bernie Sanders is the only one with the base strong enough to oppose Trump and that Bernie is the Antithesis of Donald Trump. So if you put these two things together then all signs point to Bernie as the best bet. So why not just make it official? Why not just endorse him? You can perform at Bernie's rallies. There'd be a lot of excitement. Why not if you want to defeat Donald Trump? I mean, you have a large platform a lot of people respect you endorse Bernie But you know not to get too far into that, you know, what he says is great So he talks about how Bernie Sanders has the base to oppose Donald Trump That is absolutely true and what's important about Bernie Sanders is he's pursuing a strategy that other Democrats Haven't pursued in quite some time Democrats have been wiped out because what they've been trying to do is they go after moderate and Republican voters, right? They they visualize the electorate as this fixed block of people who are in the center who are always Undecided who they have to win over and they win them over by going to the right but what Bernie Sanders is doing is he's trying to excite the base because he realizes that in Shifting to the to the right to court moderate voters The Democratic Party has left this space wide open from the left and the left feels abandoned They feel like they don't actually have a party that represents them. So what has happened people have stayed home But with Bernie Sanders, he actually is doing Everything he can to get out non voters people who don't usually participate in politics I mean, I've shared this anecdote before in the program, but my mom she's in her 60s She has never voted her entire life not once although there's one candidate in 2016 that got her to register to vote Bernie Sanders No other candidate has demonstrated to her that they're actually going to fight because her view was looked These people they get an office after promising everything and then they sell us out And it's just she felt like it was worthless, right? And we live in the state of Oregon where voting is easy, but that's how disenfranchise she fell That's how disenchanted millions of people across the country feel with the system So rather than courting Republicans and undecided voters What Bernie Sanders is doing is he's trying to excite the base that exists knowing that Democrats win if they get their base to turn out because when voters turn out as high when young voters show up Republicans lose period. Ti recognizes that and that's what's really important Now I don't agree with everything. So um, Joy Behar pointed out that you know, well Biden's got bigger numbers and I think that Ti made a phenomenal point that Bernie's base is more passionate But on top of that I would argue that Hillary's base or Hillary's numbers were was, you know It was comparable at this point in time in the race. She was beating Donald Trump in head-to-head match-ups Biden Can you imagine like what's gonna happen if Biden's nominee that will suppress the base Democratic Party voters will not be Enthusiastic about voting for Joe Biden young voters will not want to come out and vote for Joe Biden So in the event Joe Biden is the nominee I would predict that Donald Trump would be the favorite it's not a foregone conclusion that Joe Biden would lose because I think that if Obama came out and started to really campaign for Joe Biden and Joe Biden was just hidden away That could make a difference theoretically, but I'm not so sure, you know I think that Joe Biden is the worst-case scenario if he's the nominee Trump has a great shot at getting reelected So looking at the numbers now sure, I think that that's useful to an extent, but you have to understand What facilitates electoral victories for Republicans? It's when the Democrats stay home Nobody's gonna be excited to vote for someone like Joe Biden Who's just another neoliberal who isn't really offering anything to voters now Ti then goes on to make another strong point about how Bernie Sanders should pick a really strong VP to kind of ameliorate the concerns That voters have about his health and his age and I do think that that's a solid point But Joy Bayhard then chimes in with a really weird recommendation. She says oh like Amy Klobuchar I mean, what is it with centrists and Amy Klobuchar? She's pulling at 1% like you want to excite the base, right? You know this right? She's pulling at 1% and then Bill Mars said the same thing. I'm looking closely at Amy Klobuchar She's pulling at 1% why do you think she's a good option? I mean It's painful right these elites are so out of touch and they just hear themselves talk and they never listen to any views that Contradict their own they never hear counter arguments So they just rich-splain and they give Democrats bad advice and it's so frustrating Amy Klobuchar is pulling at 1% nobody wants her to be the VP. Nobody wants her to be the president She's not politically viable. She's not electable stop But a ti didn't have the best option He did float Andrew Gillum and that's someone who Elizabeth Warren is actually Reportedly looking at Andrew Gillum. I definitely supported him over Rhonda Santis obviously in 2018 in Florida and I will say this when it comes to electability I do think that Andrew Gillum is a good debater. I think he's a good campaigner Although I ideologically speaking he's not as good as Bernie Sanders So I think that Bernie Sanders needs to make sure that he doesn't undercut his populist appeal by selecting someone who would potentially You know be co-opted by the establishment and in the general election there were some signs that Andrew Gillum You know was starting to move away from his progressive ideals He did the pivot as strategists would say but if I'm Bernie Sanders I think that you know There's more than enough qualified women to where I would choose a female VP if I'm Bernie Sanders And he already kind of hinted that that's what he's looking at But really, you know, even though my first choice Individually speaking would be Nina Turner obviously if I'm Bernie Sanders I think the smartest choice for me to win would be to pick Elizabeth Warren because strategically you have to understand that Elizabeth Warren She has the support of Hillary and Kamala supporters Democratic Party loyalists for whatever reason they really love Elizabeth Warren So I think in order to unite the party going into the general you pick someone who simultaneously Can bring in centrists who are skeptical, but who your own base wouldn't feel as if you are Sacrificing ideological principles and that person I think would be Elizabeth Warren, but I mean there's a number of phenomenal options There's Pramila Jayapal Barbara Lee Zephyr to each out Nina Turner, of course, you know, Nina Turner is my number one She always will even my number one choice. In fact, I think I support her more than Bernie Sanders But with that being said Andrew Gillum is probably not the best choice But everything else I don't want to discount what Ti said there his political analysis was actually pretty pretty astute pretty spot-on For a celebrity for someone who's rich who you'd kind of expect to be out of touch. So, you know, what he's saying is great I just wish he didn't make it official and just endorse Bernie Sanders. We know you want to Ti I don't know why you're not but Bernie is the one best chance we have at defeating Donald Trump I think that Elizabeth Warren has a solid chance But she's not as sure of a bet as Bernie Sanders would be Bernie Sanders isn't a foregone conclusion I think that he could lose to Donald Trump, but I think that in terms of just his chances He'd have a 70 75% chance of beating Donald Trump just based now where we are So Ti is right and if you want to beat Trump Bernie's your ticket
