Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

1611, King James Version of the Bible, Book of Proverbs, 16:18.

Which of the remaining candidates remain humble, true to their principles, solid in their belief systems?

No, "none of them, they're all politicians" is not an acceptable answer.

It's such an elite group, truly. Every one of them is so bright, such impressive resumes. If Trump can ignore subpoenas and kneecap the rule of law, can't we run all six? I mean, no one really follows the Constitution anymore, do they? If Moscow Mitch doesn't, and Trump doesn't, why do we have to?

In my view, Sen. Warren is winning this night. She is simply cooler under pressure, clearer with her responses (from decades of teaching I think). Pete has more ideas and Amy is not following up her NH speech very well. Biden has come to life which is good to see. Bernie has great theory and ideas, but details on his policies are a bit thin.
