Seriously.. I want to see a Democrat elected.. one who has stayed

[Peacetrain]

in the fray and fought the battles the entire time.. not a new one or even an old one who thought...hmmm let me become a republican before I run for the mayor of NY.. and now wants to run for the Democratic nominee.. Lots of people change parties..but when you join a party, it already has a platform and program it is running on. If someone is joining to change our party.. well..no thank you. This is not a slam on anyones personality or good or bad that they had done previously.. just my thoughts on sticking it out when the going gets tough.

I want someone who is in for the long haul, and the tough haul.. because this is going to be hard when we retake the Presidency..

1. Better not be a bash on Warren.

She was a registered Republican for five years before becoming and remaining a Democrat for twenty.

She has walked the walk.

5. Lots of good Democrats used to be Republicans...

[question everything]

16. But at least they are now Democrats

as opposed to the ones who proudly have the I after their names with no intention of changing.

6. She was GOP until 96 according to posts here? And discussing this is not a bash on Warren but a

fair topic IMHO. I have googled and can't really get a clear answer about this...but it makes no difference to me anyway. I vote blue no matter who.

12. I'm interpreting this OP as more anti-Bloomberg than anti-Warren based on this quote

hmmm let me become a republican before I run for the mayor of NY.. and now wants to run for the Democratic nominee..

Of course I could be wrong about that. In any case Bloomberg's run is looking like a trial balloon and may not happen anyway.

2. And some of us want the 2010 version of someone running today.

I won’t bash any of our candidates.
But I do believe some are just not as sharp as they were ten years ago.
I’m not as sharp as I was then either.
Some 80 year olds are the exception to the rule.
Most are not.

3. You just did

[Funtatlaguy]

10. Mental acuity and agility plus progressive values equals Warren.

14. The swing states don't care about 'mental agility'...often it's the opposite. nt

7. OH i disagree I think Warren and Sanders are still very sharp and they are 70+ too!

[Bayard]

4. tRump used to be a Democrat.

I believe so were Ivanka and Jared.

A leopard can change its spots, depending on which way the wind is blowing. Not trying to slam Warren or Sanders.

8. Instead of bashing others ...

Instead of bashing others,
tell us why we should vote for your candidate.

9. Good rule of thumb all around.

[Funtatlaguy]

11. See post 10. And, I "bashed" no one. Didn't even say a name.

[UniteFightBack]

13. I want someone who knows all the world players and who can try to put humpty back together again...

there is much work to do.

[question everything]

15. Agree. And I want a Democrat who wants to unify the country

and the party. Not offering plans that already divide many; not suggesting that other candidates with opposing views do not belong on the debate stage, or are running in the "wrong primaries."
