There is one man who I would love to see as president and that is representative Seth Moulton from MA. A veteran who puts country first. He's very involved at the local level and also nationwide because he finds qualified veterans and urges them to run for office. He's not crazy about letting illegals in. He's practical and decent.
I'm amazed he hasn't been run out of the Democratic party by now. The swing to the left by the party has left sensible, moderate Dems without a home. I could have voted for Jim Webb in the last election-seemed like a man of courage, conviction and dedication to this country. Instead he was ejected from the party.

Simply repeating your statement does nothing to clarify the point you're trying to make. Or perhaps, there never was one.

Lindsay Graham said Biden would be hard to beat. What don't you understand. And this thread is about what democrats might run. And please don't patronize me...not called for.

I understand what you said. What I'm asking about is the point you're making.

You brought up Graham and stated his opinion. What conclusion were you intending for me to draw from this?

I was just stating a fact. Why are you harping on this.

Your post neither refuted nor supported my sentiment. So I can't figure out why you replied to me.

Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat. He is a spoiler.

So yet more members of the Wall Street elite and the billionaire class? Are we really a democracy in your opinion? Or an oligarchy? This is the question we have to ask ourself.

Bernie and Warren are as "radical" as John F Kennedy or Franklin D Roosevelt. Their policies are wildly popular among the American people, especially independents. There is nothing "middle of the road" with people who promise to serve a corrupt billionaire elite at the expense of the working class. 40 years of wage stagnation for the typical worker should tell us what that leads to.
