    Which is far to the Right of the country and the rest of the world.

    But she's a progressive and Tulsi is not, according to Ana Kasparian and TYT.

    Warren Holds the 'Center'
    I like Warren's total commitment to the middle & working classes, who've been left out of America's economic growth for over 3 decades. It's past time for someone to care about them again. They've been a crucial part of everything America has produced during that time. Now they need to benefit from their efforts. The wealthy & super wealthy certainly have.

    Yeah ok. Warren laughs at Bernie's argument for democratic socialism.
    Warren doesn't support Medicare-For-All.



    Warren says she will take corporate money in the general. She's compromised.

    Warren Will Forgo Big Money Donors In Primary But Not General Election: "I Do Not Believe In Unilateral Disarmament"

    Well I originally thought that Biden was a sure thing but after his disastrous last couple of weeks I've modified that.

    I think Warren might take the top spot from him, we will see how she does on night 1 of the first debate.

    The DNC lumped her in with easy competition so she should do well.

    Dems are not concerned what the rest of the country or the world thinks.

    As a registered Democrat, I respectfully disagree. Democrats are VERY concerned about how everyone feels & thinks. We want to retire Trump back to his tower, take control of government, & lead the nation to a new vision of sanity. We can't do that without support of the American voter. You are the key. We DO CARE.

    Warren always seems to me to be on the verge of full blown pms.

    'Dizzy Lizzy' Warren "holds the center"...? Oh, really? Of what? The middle of the bottom of the 'national underwear'? That's where all the brown smears appear....

    Hasn't she already made a big enough fool out of herself and all the poor, deluded, desperate people who are attracted to frauds like her...?

    Warren is entitled to her own personality quirks. The really nice thing about her is her total commitment & high energy she's willing to expend toward helping the middle class reassert itself in American society. She has good ideas, ways to accomplish her goals, and the knowledge & expertise to make it happen. I like her. :)

    Disagree all you want, but when it comes to our primaries no commited Dem cares about what the non-Dems think. We will choose our own candidate to defeat Trump, retake government, and make necessary improvements so that the Trump insanity can never happen again.

    I can vote for any of the Dems over Trump. I favor Biden, Warren, and Buttigieg in that order. Sanders is way down the list, though I certainly would support him as the candidate.

    I was thinking of the election when writing my post. I agree with your commentary. My personal top choices for the Democratic nominee are: Warren, Buttigieg & Harris, in that order. But, like you, I'd vote for ANY Democrat over Trump. :)

    I think we will end up with Biden and Tulsi, but what do I know?

    The video was removed but in it Warren was arguing for a centrist approach to achieving universal health coverage i.e. through the for-profit system.

    No, Horhey, this is about Trump and nothing else.

    But you have to believe she will follow through. Her record says she won't and she's already said she will take corporate money in the general election. This means she's compromised.

    The difference between independant leftists like me and the "blue no matter who" crowd is that were trying to change the system, recognizing that Trump is just a symptom of corruption and not the cause.

    You're just trying to win the next election. Every Republican President is portrayed as uniquely evil. Both parties are bought by the same corporations. Tulsi Gabbard put it this way:

    Is that suggested as a strength or a weakness?

    Right now Andrew Yang is my #1 pick because he is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to being OUTSIDE of the Establishment. His ideas are well thought out and he has the math to back them up too.

    As a realist I know that the Dem Establishment is going to demand that one of their people is on the ticket so I will take Warren or Harris over and above Biden.

    You’re not going to get any of them...... a certain Mayor P will get there first.

    Doubtful IMO because Warren is probably the PREFERRED Dem Establishment candidate after Biden so both of them have a better chance than Mayor P does at this stage.

    You don't have the votes, and the msg from the progs does not resonate with a majority of the party.
