My mind is made up. Elizabeth Warren. Sent a contribution yesterday.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Yonnie3 (a host of the General Discussion forum).

She is “a good and decent person”. Beyond that, she is brilliant, caring and energetic, and loves this country.

just how UNREACHABLE cons are.

I like her big time, still supporting Kamala but ready to switch if it is needed.

For all candidates, the first horse race that counts will be the Primary. She has my support. Of course, the winner of the primary will receive the nomination to run at the top of a Democratic Ticket.

I am leaning toward Mayor Pete Buttegieg. Young with good fresh ideas. Going to wait for the debates.

6. She's got a lot of good ideas, but her "Economic Patriotism" junk she started

a few weeks ago is a bit much for me. We have enough Nationalism and America Firtism now. And Sanders supports that junk too.

I really prefer a woman as the nominee, so it’s looking like Harris. Haven’t totally written men off if one of them has best chance to win come next spring.

10. Did you have anything specific to back up your claims?

Any examples you can point to backing up your claim? Not just your opinion of them, but specific examples.

Sanders is far from a nationalist & he tried to get us out of the war in Yemen but Trump is in the way.

7. Back in 2013, she was running for the Senator of Massachusetts

The then Senator of MA., named Scott Brown, badly underestimated her.

He spent the entire campaign mocking her as "Professor" Warren. He thought that the word "professor" was a negative. He evidently thought that being intelligent was a negative. And he may have thought he was running in Alabama. (With apologies to intelligent Alabamans.)

She kicked his ass and became the Honorable Sen. Elizabeth Warren of the State of Massachusetts.

I'm still undecided. But I love her, I love her ideas, I love her intelligence, and I love everything she stands for.
