Anyone else excited that we are already fighting over two presidential candidates?

Just like in 2007/08.

It's fun for me. Anyone else feel the same way?

And yes, I am dreaming. I hope (and believe) that we will get a candidate (Warren) that fights for us, and not one that only fights for herself (Clinton).

I think she would be better than Hillary...


And I am done with Clinton's and Bush's and Clinton's and Bush's anyway-


I think there is a cool dude running Maryland right now, maybe you should start recruiting him!

will be nominated.

Especially a senator who is very articulate, but with no executive experience and no foreign affairs knowledge and understanding.

The sooner you and other supporters will understand it, the sooner you will save yourself disappointment and aggravation.

As she chose, she is on various financial committees. Moving to a foreign relations committee would be a good first step.

Anyway, we've got a minor affair called a midterm election coming up. The fact that many here apparently only see the next presidential contest, for which there are no candidates at this time, attests to the really big problem Democrats have getting the voters to the polls during midterms.

That's a real problem.

Clinton, like every modern Dem before her, desperately needs someone to have to be better than...besides whatever toad the GOP runs.
