Yeah.

I think Warren needs a more “moderate” type to balance her ticket. Bernie would be too much doubling down on SoCiALiSm!!!!

And generally speaking, just field a ticket that’s not so damn old.

Warren now winning in Iowa. That'll be interesting - the format of the Iowa caucus makes results different from polls. The candidates that won't be "viable" - they have a good chunk of voters and they will have to pick their second choice. My guess is that's good for Warren, but I could see an argument the other way

If Democrats can be faulted for one thing, it's holding onto these ridiculous two first primaries. Yeah, Iowa and New Hampshire are these ultra-representative states that will certainly help win the Electoral College. Well, no.

Bernie: 1% tax on couples worth over $32 mil, 8% over $10 bil, “billionaires should not exist”

The Bern lost his marbles the day he came out of the womb.
He's not much more than a Muppets character and is just this/much less frightening to me than Donald Trump is.
Hey - At least Dave Chappelle(?) will vote for him.

Politics aside, Bernie doesn't sound like he could really handle the wear and tear with his health. He should step down.

As it currently stands;
Biden will be hurt by the Ukraine business
Bernie has health problems
Warren has likeability problems
Booker and or Harris better get moving or we could end up with 4 more years of this asshole.

Warren is actually pretty likable compared to most of the other democrats. I certainly don't underestimate her potential to beat Trump. However, I think Yang could be the surprise front runner when it's all said and one. Booker and Harris don't stand a chance.

I'll add that Yang and Gabbard are highly likable online. Both these candidates are dominating Youtube. Should Warren add Yang or Gabbard, I think that would make her much more appealing.

Yeah, Gabbard, what we need is another Putin puppet in the White House.

Would you rather have her or Trump? I don't know where you're getting this crazy stuff about her...

I read this and laugh. Then I realize it's true that the majority of voters in this country don't really give a fuck if someone would make a good President as much as if they like the candidate's personality. I have no idea who "dominates Youtube" nor do I care - but I probably should.
It is a popularity contest after all.

Any time I doubt what you say I am reminded that I think it was you who actually believed Trump would beat Clinton when all signs pointed to the opposite.

My brief pretty much worthless opinion/s.
It's not so much that Warren is or isn't likable, it's that she isn't "exciting".
Yang is a guy who might be an excellent motivational speaker at a conference for Insurance salespeople. Or someone who is brought in for moral reasons to manage a mid sized company. I just don't view him as being Presidential.
Booker and Harris are both electable to me and I would have no problem voting for either of them.
Doesn't mean I want them to be President but I would have zero hesitation voting for either of them over Trump.
Gabbard has less of a chance of winning than Michael Vick would after the dog fighting fiasco.
Mayor Pete is someone I would vote for in a heartbeat - to be the mayor of a small city.
Bernie is nuts. I don't dislike him at all. I just wouldn't be happy voting for him nor would I want him to be my president.
Joe, I do like him. As a person. I believe he is running more for the reason that he feels a responsibility to run than that he actually wants to be the president. Does he really need the pressure and stress? The man has earned the right to enjoy the rest of his life.
Marianne I would like to meet in a hotel bar and then take her up to my room and get high with her. Seems like a cool woman all be it more whack-a-doodle than I care for. I think Dave Navarro might be banging her. I would not like her to be my president. At all.
Castro I have no real issue with but I have no love for him either.
Beto I like. Not to be president. For a guy in his mid 40s he's starting to look like campaigning is already taking it's toll on, him. That's not a good thing.
The rest of the candidates I can't even think of right now off the top of my head. That's a bad thing for me - and them.

I still plan on voting for whoever gets the Dem ticket nomination. Honestly, I have preferences as to who I wish it was but there isnt any of the contenders that I would not vote for in the general election against this fucking incompetent moron. Enough of this childish nonsense.

I disagree with all of the democratic contenders about something, especially things like "Free _________", but after close to half a century of nearly all the profits going to the already comfortable with little to no meaningful improvement for average Americans, seeing that trend stopped and hopefully reversed for a while, would be a pleasant change.
