Oct 2019

as if Romney or Nikki Haley are the nominees of the Repuke party.

I doubt Trump will last another year.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

ELIZABETH WARREN IS BEGINNING TO WIN THE ELECTABILITY ARGUMENT [View all] BlueMTexpat Oct 2019 OP

This is all before Trump smears her Yoopy Oct 2019 #1

That's going to happen no matter who the candidate is durablend Oct 2019 #3

BINGO!! InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #9

Because this would never happen to a man. we can do it Oct 2019 #36

You're implying that she will stay just as electable as she is today Yoopy Oct 2019 #43

It took more time to type the "note" TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #2

Almost anyone can win, but especially Elizabeth... and Bernie. Together, they're unstoppable. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #10

Hard to take you seriously with that Bernie comment. TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #11

For real. bearsfootball516 Oct 2019 #34

By your strange logic, all the Biden supporters should give up on their candidate... InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #39

That doesn't make any sense. TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #41

LMAO! You obviously didn't read, or ignored, what I said in response to your post...good try though! InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #47

I would say the same if I had nothing to back up my point. TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #49

Rinse... repeat. Too funny!! I agree with you though, as it applies to Joe. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #50

This! EW if and I say it's still a big if wins the nomination she will need a younger VP Thekaspervote Oct 2019 #56

You don't think she would pick a 79 yo who just had a heart attack? TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #58

You are spot on! IMO, of course. CTyankee Oct 2019 #42

I think that would be great get the red out Oct 2019 #53

Ah well, BlueMTexpat Oct 2019 #13

I read the headline just like I would any other. TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #20

Good for you BlueMTexpat Oct 2019 #23

For the moment. As Yoopy says, but I believe she'll plateau Hortensis Oct 2019 #4

I don't know.. cannabis_flower Oct 2019 #5

Yes. The midterms showed that happening. :) Hortensis Oct 2019 #6

If that's true... Boomer Oct 2019 #7

She is conforming somewhat to FDR's "from within the establishment," Hortensis Oct 2019 #12

It's funny how Warren gets cast as the bogeyman Boomer Oct 2019 #40

I wanted her to run in 2016. She was no bogeyman at all, Hortensis Oct 2019 #45

Agree but don't think the nation sees her as the "stability candidate" offering a return to Thekaspervote Oct 2019 #59

:) Only compared perhaps to Sanders, and I expect that's Hortensis Oct 2019 #61

Perhaps. BlueMTexpat Oct 2019 #15

Everyone knows how the right thinks. It's no protection. Hortensis Oct 2019 #17

You're right. BlueMTexpat Oct 2019 #18

True enough, and we definitely agree it will be very interesting. Hortensis Oct 2019 #31

Here's my hope: that Sanders realizes he cannot reverse the effects of age on his condition and CTyankee Oct 2019 #44

:) I think he hasn't changed his rigid self in Hortensis Oct 2019 #46

Geez, what a self centered old coot he is! CTyankee Oct 2019 #51

:) Message taken, candidate discarded. It worked out. Hortensis Oct 2019 #55

Thank you.. very good break down of the facts Thekaspervote Oct 2019 #57

She's pretty much avoided being BlueMTexpat Oct 2019 #16

As to that point I physically got a twinge when I read this line in the original article pecosbob Oct 2019 #32

It is difficult for BlueMTexpat Oct 2019 #66

This message was self-deleted by its author elocs Oct 2019 #37

Of course get the red out Oct 2019 #54

She'll have my vote! ananda Oct 2019 #14

Mine too!! Either Elizabeth or Bernie (or both) works for me!! InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #48

For me the question is not electability, it's RE-ELECTABILITY !!! Otto Lidenbrock Oct 2019 #19

One step at a time. BlueMTexpat Oct 2019 #21

I was talking about Joe Biden Otto Lidenbrock Oct 2019 #22

Sorry for my confusion! BlueMTexpat Oct 2019 #24

No problem Otto Lidenbrock Oct 2019 #29

More like A++ for Elizabeth & C for Joe seems fair. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #62

Her plans haven't really been vetted as yet. It will start to happen FloridaBlues Oct 2019 #25

Yes, we will. eom BlueMTexpat Oct 2019 #26

The vetting you mention will only increase Elizabeth's support and decrease Joe's... just watch. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #63

We should start gaming out the election lapfog_1 Oct 2019 #27

EW among Dems is not the issue. The problems now and in the past, empedocles Oct 2019 #28

She IS already seen favorably BlueMTexpat Oct 2019 #30

These are the same arguments made for Sanders, Hillary, Obama - empedocles Oct 2019 #35

What electability argument? It was less than four years ago we elected a woman... TreasonousBastard Oct 2019 #33

+1000 Thekaspervote Oct 2019 #60

Shouldn't the Democratic Party's strategy be to win the EC? I mean, that's how you win after all... InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #64

It's been everybody's strategy for over 200 years... TreasonousBastard Oct 2019 #68

If Warren is the nominee, then Texas will not be a battleground state Gothmog Oct 2019 #38

Thx for all your hard work Thekaspervote Oct 2019 #65

After that "he should only marry one woman" quip... polichick Oct 2019 #52
