I appreciate what your saying.. I just see it differently.

I do not see her as dishonest. The whole Native American thing - if she didn’t truly believe it why on earth would she go take a dna test and release it? I’ve told people my whole life I’m 100% Italian, my brother does his dna... and we aren’t. I wasn’t lying, just misinformed.

She faught hard for Wall Street reform and continues to do so. She isn’t the only member of the senate and she isn’t responsible for how other people vote - and gut the provisions she had previously successfully put in place.

Even the thing with sanders... I can 100% see them having a conversation as friends where he sat down and told her a woman wouldn’t be president. Not in a sexist way but as a realist. As a woman, an ambitious overqualified woman especially, that is a bitter pill to swallow. I’m STILL having a hard time swallowing it myself and the presidency is no where in my personal sights. The second I married a felon any political ambitions I had were DOA. The subsequent nonsense that ensued between their respective followers after that is just again, nonsense. The day that story broke I donated to both campaigns and told everyone to shut the hell up.

I’m sorry tulsi isn’t getting the attention or consideration she deserves. That’s mostly to blame on Hilary and the same neoliberal establishment that has been coming for sanders AND warren as well. Plus, she’s a woman. And as a woman I’m having an extremely uncomfortable reckoning with what exactly that means in this country the last couple days...

Lol!

Elizabeth Warren's campaign failed because she is MEAN, Donald Trump claims: President says candidate dropped out because voters 'prefer people like me
  • Trump was asked if he thought sexism was part of the reason Warren had to suspend her presidential campaign
  • He mocked her throughout the campaign as 'Pocahontas'
  • Trump said Warren had a 'tremendous lack of talent'
  • Warren lamented as she withdrew: 'One of the hardest parts of this is … all those little girls who are going to have to wait four more years'

is this something you’re proud of? This is exactly why I think anyone would be better than trump at this point.

I think it’s funny how he winds them up...and I’m not overly fond of blond, blue eyed Pocahontas.

His trolling is at presidential levels, and my favourite all time troll of his is still the time he had the code talkers at the White House and brought up Warren. It’s so classic.

Biden absolutely can not debate trump. Trump often makes no sense but his style will entirely overwhelm Biden..

The debates are going to be a gas no matter what at this point. I cannot see Biden debating anyone in a head to head manner and winning. He may be the first to try and back out of debates or the committees of questionnaires will change the rules of engagement to slow things down for him. Trump and Bernie would be a toxic explosion... so there is that.

Trump is great off the cuff, while Biden is having trouble these days reading straight off a teleprompter.

I don’t think Biden will make it to the election, and I have big doubts that there will be any debate between him and Trump.

It could be ugly. I can hear Trump now, "Do you need some more time Joe? Give him some more time folks, give him some more time," as he asks the reporters to repeat their question every time they ask one. I remember a time when he was lucid but he has really gone downhill and it is amazing that they are pushing him as their best candidate. The coming democratic debates could be epically entertaining, so I will slow my roll on thoughts of Trump and either one just yet.

I think they just changed the last democratic debate to a town hall.. wonder why
Exactly. Biden is apt to accidentally bring a teddy bear on stage and forget why than slay in a debate. We are going to see two old white dudes represent the party where one will be given every advantage possible.

At this point we are at three old white dudes. Every option we have is an old white dude.. one lies like it’s his full tome job and doesn’t even try to hide it, one can’t string together a coherent sentence and the other is branded a communist and has the entire party doing everything in its power to make him fail.. even forgetting all that he has a tendency to just grumble and shout and has a difficult time making anything other then his core message come across clearly.

I agree with his core message so this isn’t a problem for me but for people who aren’t already ideologically in step with him.. it is.

Oh whatever maybe corona will kill us all before we even get to November.
