Still LOVE Mayor Pete....but I switched Tuesday

[phandancer917]

Sen. Warren was always my 2nd choice, but her performance Tuesday night (ESPECIALLY calling Bloomberg out on his NDA bullshit!!!!) moved her into the Number 1 Spot on my Election playlist.

She would OWN Trump in debates!

Election Avatar Reset and Warren is now my Candidate!


Lastly -- I do not understand how any woman (or any human) could support Bloomberg after his responses to the NDAs. I want to defeat Trump, but do not want to hold my nose as I do....

1. I already caucused in Iowa, and it was a "heart vs. head" thing for me,

as the same two candidates were at the top of my list. Attended both of their town halls in my area the weekend prior to the caucus, and that made the choice even more difficult, as they both came off so well. Ended up going with Pete in the end, and maybe it was a case of me "playing pundit".

I was still totally thrilled with what Elizabeth did last night, and want to see her in this race for a LONG time, to give the maximum number of voters the opportunity to cast a vote for her.

18. Warren/Buttigieg 2020

Let's break a couple of barriers, shall we?

And, hello, fellow Iowa resident. I moved to Iowa City about three years ago, and am enjoying everything but the weather.

[grantcart]

26. The only barrier we should worry about is the intelligence/ethics barrier

To focus on any other aspect of a Presidential candidate doesn't enhance them but diminishes them.

For that reason I would absolutely rejoice over a Warren/Buttigieg ticket.

[jayschool2013]

36. THANKS!

[Mountain Mule]

41. Warren/Buttigieg would be my DREAM ticket!

[denem]

44. In 2028 President Buttigieg is sworn in age 46.

That works.

[hangaleft]

46. Personally, I like the idea of a Warren/Castro ticket

But Warren/Buttigieg sounds pretty damn good, too!

[jimfields33]

2. Pete was second. Warren is now my second.

[defacto7]

3. Good luck.

Elizabeth is great!

[phandancer917]

4. So is Pete!

I really, really like his attitude and poise. However, I have to admit that the President's job rides on the shoulders of other people. Mayor Pete simply does not have the network of knowledgeable people...YET.

This guy WILL win this office someday and if he DOES win this time -- he will adapt and do an amazing job!

Plus -- need some class to polish up the image of the 1st Spouse.

Kind of cool that is either of my top candidates win -- we will have the first - First Gentlemen!

[defacto7]

6. Look up James Buchanan!

His live in companion was called First Gentleman by the WH staff.

[Wednesdays]

49. Eh?

William Rufus King died in 1853, four years before Buchanan was inaugurated.

[defacto7]

50. I'd better read up but that's not what I've read.

The name of his partner wasn't mentiond as I recall but I do remember the person who moved into the WH with him being called First Gentlman by the staff with discretion. I'll check it out. Thanks

[Kaleva]

5. Hillary owned Trump in the 2016 debates but...

[Tweedy]

21. Yes, but not like Senator Warren did last night

And Mayor Bloomberg is a self-made billionaire who is not a sadist, which earns him my vote should he somehow recover from last night.

Why?

Because the current occupant is a sadist, a sexual abuser, a thin skinned complaint manufacturing machine, an unindicted co-conspirator and a serial bankrupt, who walks, talks and acts like a confidence trickster.

Senator Warren will eat the GOP's "alternative facts" for lunch and breath righteous fire 🔥 full of verifiable FACTS back.

And she will bait & bait & bait the narcissistic president into debating her.
What's he going to say? No, I'm scared of the woman? Bawhahaha!

[Kaleva]

23. Sounds reasonable to me.

[ms liberty]

29. And he would not stalk Liz around the stage for long.

I've always thought Hillary was too nice to him when ithat happened. It was creepy; I wanted to deck him.

[grantcart]

28. She was better than Trump but she failed to relax and let the country

See her wonderful creative intellect and great sense

[maddiemom]

35. No Puppet. YOU'RE the puppet! (Most stellar reply in debate history).

[IronLionZion]

7. I do not understand how any woman (or any human) could support Trump after his responses

There is a lot about voters that many of us will never understand.

[Evolve Dammit]

19. It is amazing. Some women love to be disrespected apparently or at least don't mind it??

[IronLionZion]

25. Some chickens would vote for Colonel Sanders if they got some sweet tax cuts

“You can't keep snakes in your backyard and expect them only to bite your neighbors. You know, eventually those snakes are going to turn on whoever has them in the backyard.”

― Hillary Rodham Clinton

[joost5]

34. 💯Truth.

[Evolve Dammit]

39. That's a great quote! I do marvel at Drumpf's female supporters who know he views them as

objects; either grab-able or to mock. And they seem fine with that??

[Ingersollman]

8. She's

going to do it! Stick with her. I voted for her yesterday. It was one of the most satisfying votes I have ever cast, knowing how well prepared she is, and how ready for the job she is.

[KPN]

42. I have the same feeling. Her performance last night

will put her front and center in this race as it was last fall. Elizabeth is far from done and may just go all the way.

[marlakay]

9. A lady just called in to radio show

on SiriusXM and said she was from Tennessee and that they have early voting. She was planning on voting for Biden, wasn’t going to watch debate but wanted to check out Bloomberg before she voted.

She ended up calling Elizabeth’s campaign and donating money and going to vote for her. She thinks she has the fight we need to take on Trump along with being smart yet compassionate.

She sounded my age 60’s and I am thinking Liz must have won over a lot last night.

[MoonlitKnight]

10. Welcome to the persistence

President Warren will get it done.

[not fooled]

11. Congratulations

Agree with the positive comments about Mayor B's temperament and future, but Elizabeth has the knowledge and experience to do the job now. She's not afraid and cares about helping the most people, which will show the Grand Canyon divide between her and red don.

And, she would shred him in debates, or at arm's length through the media if he refuses to debate her in person.

[Laelth]

12. Fair enough.

I will be happy with either of them.

-Laelth

[mvd]

13. Elizabeth was once my first and still a strong second

She got a Black Lives Matter endorsement today that was important. It will be interesting to see how her debate affected her polling.

[SidDithers]

14. No way does Trump participate in a debate during the 2020 campaign...

He'll make excuses, claiming he doesn't need to debate a challenger.

Sid

[johnthewoodworker]

15. Ditto.

[Chemisse]

27. Exactly. No matter who the contender is. n/t

[kimbutgar]

40. Then we should get that "he is a coward" and really get it going on social media

I know he’s shameless but we can chop off his balls by calling him a coward for not debating his opponent.

[KPN]

43. Exactly. He will come up with a defense though -- another

bone spurs for the cowardly narcissist.

[Scalded Nun]

16. early voted today for Liz!

[EveDibb]

17. Most exciting vote ever.

Just voted for Elizabeth Warren today in Ohio.

My daughter voted for Warren.

Next week on super Tuesday I get to take my 80 year old mother to vote for Warren in North Carolina.

[blm]

32. Voting Warren n NC, too.

[Bradshaw3]

52. Good for you!

We need to get everyone out to vote who can. Great that you are going all the way to NC to do it.

[SunSeeker]

20. Trump will never debate her. I doubt he'll debate anyone.

He's a fucking idiot, but he's not that stupid. He knows she'd tear his arms off and beat him over the head with them, like she did wiyh Bloomberg.

[packman]

22. When I heard Bloomberg, I heard Trump's echo

- Disrespect
- Evasion
- Hiding tax returns and "promising" to release them
- Saying his tax returns were too complicated for immediate review or scrutiny


This guy wears the same cloth as Trump,- not my choice

[Crowman2009]

33. Not to long ago he was also Drumpf's friend.

[LittleGirl]

24. She killed it last night

I am wavering again. I can wait until Super Tuesday and decide for sure by then.
I wish we all could vote at once and do elimination votes again before November.
This scattered primary is crazy stupid.

[zackymilly]

30. She handled Bloomberg last night and she can handle Trump.

I'm starting to like Warren more and more.

[LittleGirl]

47. been a fan

for a decade. When Jon Stewart interviewed her on the Daily Show in 2008 or 09, I was so impressed. I wished she had run instead of Hillary.
So when she announced, I followed. But I'm wavering because she did so poorly in NH and Iowa.
I hope she comes on stronger now and I can vote with confidence for her.

[aikoaiko]

31. I got off the fence and chose Warren, too.

[JGug1]

37. How Women Could Support Bloomberg?

How can you possibly say that after the numbers of women who supported and STILL support Trump. Bloomberg's baggage is heavy but NO ONE has accused him of sexual assault. Not quite so for Trump. Yet, he still has a ton of support from the MAGA women.

[kimbutgar]

38. I just donated money to her today

Last night I saw she is the one who could really kick MF45’s ass in a debate and make him lose it on stage.

Go Warren!!!!

[AngelicaHora]

45. Warren and Buttigieg are so much better than the others

They've got the detailed plans, the temperament, the wit, the charm. It kills me to see these three old men topping all the polls. We're sabotaging ourselves as a party.

[musicblind]

48. Depending on what happens in South Carolina and Nevada

as well as what the polls look like for my state on Super Tuesday, I'm thinking if switching to Warren or Buttigieg.

I still really like Biden and hope he can pull out that win in SC so I can vote for him and feel like I'm picking the person who can best beat Trump.

But if he loses both badly and doesn't stand a chance in my home state, I'll probably switch to the next closest candidate that does stand a chance who I also think can beat Trump.

I guess that's a long post to get to the point of saying I'm starting to consider Pete after his debate performance last night, and Warren, too.

[Bradshaw3]

51. Great point on his answer to the NDAs

Showed he hasn't learned a thing, on that topic or any other. He still has that same mentality, which would be a big loser come eletcion day whe we need the votes of women disgusted with drumpf.

Welcome to the persistence!

[saidsimplesimon]

53. yahooooo, welcome aboard

[lapfog_1]

54. It's time for a few in the moderate "lane" to drop out

Pete, Joe, Amy, and Mike (and even Elizabeth) need to have a meeting and flip coins or whatever to decide the single candidate to carry the flag forward.

Otherwise they will watch the delegate majority go to the one candidate that cannot possibly win in November.

Even if that majority of delegate isn't enough to put someone in nomination in the first ballot, it will tear up the party if the nomination goes to someone else by appealing to the super delegates.

And if he gets the nomination, we will lose the Senate, lose the House, and give Trump a landslide (electorally speaking).

[still_one]

55. You don't understand how any women could support Bloomberg. There were quite a few who supported

Trump

Why?

[phandancer917]

56. Yes -- I cannot explain that either.
