Truman was the last decent Democrat to be in the office

I wish we could find a good Truman democrat, instead we have fascio-socialists/communists that are anti freedom

True. I really liked what I've heard from her. Sadly, because of the lack of numbers she won't have the opportunity. Ideologically, I definitely favor the more centric candidates.

I commend anyone who is bilingual, especially those who move here. What I see when the candidates speak Spanish is blatant pandering, which isn’t fooling anyone.

Biden is beginning to make a fool of himself. I say that not as a dig, but his age, or whatever it is isn't doing him any favors. I watched an interview clip of him a few weeks back and he rambled on about something for 3 or 4 minutes and didn't say a damn thing.

Go home and enjoy the grandkids, with all due respect.
I do agree with you and the other posters. Several of the other Democrat candidates are too liberal for more centrist voters. Who is the right candidate? I don't know. Elizabeth Warren is looking pretty impressive overall.

The next debate could be back to two nights. Candidates have the same criteria as they did last night but several more weeks to get the needed polling data. The ten from last night are all in, of course, since they qualified already. Tom Steyer has qualified now for the next one. Gabbard is not that far away.

Wall Street and the swamp is simply terrified of Warren. At some point they will throw billions, if needed, into advertising to smear her.

When you determine the 'winner' of a debate, there are all kinds criteria. Beto gained the most net favorable ratings, and personally I think Beto won this debate. Looks like he canned his advisors and became himself again--the guy that excited Texans in the senate race.

The numbers:

she smears herself with no help necessary

2003/4 she wrote a book, arguing AGAINST paying the tuition loans..against free tuition...against open immigration

16 years later she has done a complete 180......not 40 years later, not 30 years later...16 years later
