Well, in her defense, she did win a rigged primary.

No, I beg to differ. Dems have not yet given up the great fight (even though we know their efforts are fruitless).

I mean come on, Bernie has decided to run on excusing 95% of student loans, and Biden followed up saying the same. You can tell Biden doesn't agree with abortion, but he will sell his soul on that and pretend to support it just to become president for which is would be a national embarrassment. Then we have this Buttegieg, where a black man who raised a knife to kill the police who had to shoot to kill or be killed, who is now defending the BLM criminal; oh, and now Warren wants to pay reparations to gay people who didn't rightfully get tax breaks because they weren't allowed to get married. Kamala will be just like Obama and be kind and generous to only her fellow Indians just as Obama favored his black muslim following. No thanks.

My question is, will the gays have to hand over their reparations to the blacks then?

My god what a farce the new dems have become. Burn that flag losers, just do it and we'll be even more determined to stop you come election time.

I'll be watching the debate, as it will be nice tp see them bashing each other as opposed to just attacking our president at his every turn.

Democratic is a verb.
A 98% chance, was pretty convincing.

No, sir!
Make no mistake. The Democrats fully believe Trump can be defeated, and they intend to defeat him in 2020.

If there's any 'rebranding' to be done in the party, it's going to happen in 2020, not 2024.

The Democrats have disagreements within their party for sure, but they have been working on them since 2016, and their candidates now offer the voters a wider range of policy choices that has been presented to them for many years.

Only time will tell as to who will be the voter's best choice, but they have someone who will be there in the lineup. There won't be any settling for a compromise in 2020. I'm confident the nominee who emerges will be the one who can defeat Trump.

Yeah, Trump is going to lose as badly as the pollsters said he would in 2016.

By popular vote! Which means nothing! He'll win again thanks to the Electoral College, even if he's behind by 10 million votes!

I'm sitting this one out as I'm completely convinced Trump will be re-elected, so I'm not going to even follow the 20 egotist running for President this time.

They still may have a chance if they all throw their muscle behind one candidate! And that isn't about to happen when ego's are involved!

I don't think they will bash each other. I think it will be A) A huge amount of Trump bashing (who can come up with the most zingers) and B) who can most effectively promise free stuff. (BTW, NONE of them cared about any of this while sitting in the Senate or whatever position they may hold.

Google got outted for their search results interference, people are upset that nothing is getting accomplished with all farce of investigations taking place these last 2 years, more and more people are being affected by the current influx of immigrants ect..

The Dems are pigeon holing themselves by not addressing issues with logical plans. Middle class knows that to support these things - they are the ones taking the hit.

I really think the party is foolish thinking that they have enough support to pull off a win without a viable candidate that makes sense. You can only give so much away and these give aways don't sit well with many of us that work but still has tp budget, who helped out our kids pay off those loans ect.. If you took out student loans and decided to get a degree in imaginative thinking - that's on you.

Agree

I.Support the.Candidates ideals and wanting to make a dramatic change. You have to set the building blocks up for that and transition over. Also.you have to reach across the aisles to a.Congress that can easily shift Parties in control.l

That's why I am hoping the Moderates running eventually start to stand out.

Will say I almost would vote for.Warren but can't due to her viewpoint on student debt, Supreme Court views, Medicare for.all, and.tax on the rich. Outside of that I agree a lot with some.of her political.stances.
