although Trump's response to Syrian chemical weapons were slaps on the wrist and failed to deter Assad

It wasn't a defense of Assad. It was a condemnation of our lies to get involved. (some you seem to have bought into)

There are no wrong answers. I'm just curious if a lot of CD Democrats are on the same page as each other and what that is or if there isn't a consensus on this fresh face issue.
I think the poll mainly means most Democrats aren't interested in seeing Hillary run again, and I agree.

I don't really know who the "fresh face" might turn out to be, but I would like to know more about Andrew Yang. He's an entrepreneur, and he has some interesting "outside the box" ideas. Some, I like, even love. A couple, I really dislike, or at least have reservations about, but at least he's showing some creativity in trying to address problems too many are ignoring.

Actually, I think "fresh face" means someone under the age of 70.

His ideas probably won't come into play for another 20 years. Still time for him.

There was a bit of talk that Colorado Gov. Hickenlooper was being groomed to run and he'd fit the mold of "fresh face" but the DNC has lurched so hard/far to the Loony Tune Left that a white male like Hick doesn't stand a chance now.

How is helping those on the bottom rungs as opposed to Wall Street constantly a loony idea?
