I worry that the Democrats will retake the Senate in two years, possibly the House as well; and then there will be gridlock for another two years and probably a Democratic president in 2020; and I certainly hope, for the sake of my retirement, as well as the future of this country, that it isn't Warren.

Then again, I thought that Hillary would win; so my political judgment is not necessarily great.




That's what they were saying they year

Warren's chances of winning the Presidency are not that high. Besides being a far leftist, she is just very annoying and unlikeable overall. Agree with the assessment of her voice -- it's even more annoying that Hillary's (which I didn't think was possible). Like Hillary, she has no redeemable qualities whatsoever. Unlike Hillary, she won't necessarily have all the major institutions backing her so her journey to the WH will be even more difficult.

All leftist policies are bad, but those who achieve electoral success (like Obama) have favorable personal characteristics that voters are drawn to. If there's a candidate to be concerned about, I'd say it's Cory Booker. As a tried and true leftist, his policies are as bad as those of anyone else on the left. That said, he does have other good qualities: well-spoken; good-looking guy; articulate; comes off as reasonable/sensible/etc.

No, there reaction is that we need to change, and they will do everything in their power to make that happen. They do have control of most of the media, so it has always worked for them in the past. This year was different because people no longer trust the media. I wonder if they can ever regain our trust?

The Democratic party is a very STRONG party, they won the POPULAR VOTE, don't let the corrupt NEWS MEDIA cloud your opinion.

Warren is a female, she can't win, the "good old boys" will not VOTE for her! Tim Kaine, please DO NOT run in 2020, you're weak and clownish. Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, please DON'T think about running, TIME has passed you all by, "Can the Bern" and "Say Goodbye Joe."

The Democratic party is, at least for now, not in a strong position. They do not control the WH, House, or Senate (after 20 JAN). At the state and local level, they're doing even worse and have most of their power concentrated in deep blue states that are facing the highest rates of population losses to domestic migration.

Not sure what you're getting at by attacking the corrupt news media, but it's the corrupt news media that does its best (and abdicates its duty) to prop of the (supposedly strong) Democratic party. The NYT hasn't endorsed a GOP Presidential candidate in 60 years. All the institutions back the Democratic party.
