And, outside of Jon Bel Edwards, I could say the same of the opposition.

You could but that wouldn't make it true.

GOP: Who cares? Ainsley Earhardt.

Dems: Sherrod Brown. Save Ohio; save the world.

Did not answer. Let me rephrase, who would/should the Ds nominate if neither Joe or Bernie can run?

I know the answer you are trolling for is "Hillary". You're not going to get it.

I believe it, because the Democrats are great at falling on their face in the home stretch.

I'm not going to get worked up over it until the official announcement is made.

Hell I like Amy and think it is an awful choice. All she brings is being a lady. She has no coalition, no swing states and no issues she helps with. That would be a disaster.

I also don't believe it so...

I don’t even give a **** anymore. He can name Mitt Romney vp for all I care.

Trump needs to go. I’ll be thankful to have the opportunity to vote against Trump.

The only thing I can think of is that she adds this to her repertoire, then run as a moderate Dem presidential nominee. While I don't *mind* her, I think Warren is still too divisive to win the presidency.

I don't see Warren as "divisive" in the least. She's for protecting consumers and curtailing the power of large international banks and financial firms. I judge those to both be popular positions with large majorities of Americans.

We cannot choose our candidates based on the 25% who watch Fox. They will by definition hate anyone their masters tell them to hate. Those people are done. The rest of the country is worth paying attention to; not them.

I'm discounting the MAGAs/etc. They're gone.

I'm looking at the undecided/middle/non-Bernies/AOC/Squad types. I think they think Warren is still "too left."

Maybe. I hope not. But the EC skews so conservative who knows.
 
Re: Democratic Challengers 2020 - 12: The End of the Beginning

Warren seemed like the least divisive candidate out there among those with a shot.

Amy was toying with a shot, she lacked national recognition, like Warren has.

That being said, I agree with your general assessment. Each candidate had a "major" (stress the quotes) weakness, given the state of the country today. Bloomberg was just buying his way in, Bernie is way too far left, Biden sounds incoherent at times, Warren/Amy were women, and Pete is gay.

Is that fair? No. But, that's the way it (still) is.
