Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumWish we could elect E. Warren. Not sold on Beto.
He seems too cute by half. I'll vote dem in the general. But personally, E. Warren is a one woman b.s. deflection machine, and I love that. I trust her completely. I fear she's not a big enough draw in the general. But she's smart and real and heartfelt and I adore her. 😎
Bernie is great, but we need to win.

(11,088 posts)He will win if he got the nomination and raised 6m in first day. He has promise if he makes into the general.

(11,088 posts)My candidate notwithstanding, Beto is in a good place in almost all the places he needs to be as a winning general election candidate.

We need a fighter to go against Trump. Not someone always apologizing.

(16,396 posts)ORourke wasnt elected to Congress until 2012 so it would have been impossible for him to vote for Obamacare in December 2010.
Also, while the TPP is a big issue with fans of the junior senator from Vermont, it had broad support from Dems including President Obama. Ill take his judgement over yours any day of the week.
Try harder.

(6,457 posts)I wish there were more coverage of Inslee. He inspires confidence and ability to solve a lot of the problems created by the Trumper team.

(1,736 posts)Inslee does a nice job of bridging the usual divides with clear communication. So does Warren.
I guess we need to keep speaking up for these great candidates!

(14 posts)is that I'm not at all confident she has what it takes to go up against Trump. I think she would be a great president, but she has to get there first. She went for Trump's bait with the whole "Pocahontas" thing, ended up looking ridiculous, and had to apologize. That whole episode didn't exactly do much to make me believe she's the one that can take it to Trump.
