From Pocahontas to the Professor with a Plan.

No matter which Dem you are supporting, I think we all have to be so proud of how Elizabeth Warren has been conducting her campaign.
So many of the political pundits said her campaign was over because she had “botched” the whole Native American attacks from Trump.
But, she has instead come on strong with detailed plans and ways to pay for so many policies.
She’s made it difficult on the chattering class to criticize her.
Besides being brilliant, She has boundless energy. A wonderful smile. Loves pressing the flesh and taking pictures and interacting with the public.
I’m not quite ready to declare her my first choice (at least until the debates), but I do want to say how impressed I am with her.
She makes me proud to be a Democrat.
Go Liz! Persist!!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I'm very impressed. After the first debate I may consider switching my primary choice, Warren is my second choice right now.

We are so overdue as a nation for female leadership.
Of course, Hillary was robbed.

in the current batch of Democrats. Almost an embarrassment of riches, really. And that's one of the reasons preferences are all over the place in the polls.

i thought at the time that she was smart to let it out there, and that when the campaign got going, that nothing burger would fade.
and so it has.

not that they wont try to beat that dead horse, but the only thing that gets them is- well, yeah, she was pretty much right.

I wish I lived in Massachusetts. As it is, I'm stuck with Rubio and Scott as my senators. Bleck!
