Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumWhy I like Warren (without tearing down other candidates)
I noticed that the debate moderators seemed to want to run their own show and pit one candidate against the other.
And it seemed that they didn't want to let Senator Warren in as they might have.
Of course, they disrespected other candidates in this way as well, but that's not the main point of this post.
I mention that, however, because when TPTB and the media ignore a strong candidate, it might indicate that they don't want her to be heard. Call this a conspiracy if you like but it's a pattern with the media.
I prefer Senator Warren because she seems to match sharpness with experience and consistency.
She's not susceptible to accusations of being too young or too old, or being too socialist or to being too Centrist.
This observation is about the media and the voting public and how I feel they would react to the various choices.
I love them all for different reasons but still pull a bit more for Ms. Warren.
If all of these candidates were in a conference room vying for position of CEO or Director of any organization, I would trust her to deliver on her rhetoric and face less resistance than the others. Not by a large margin but by enough of one that I'd be overjoyed.
I think she and Bernie might have the best chances of beating Trump but I might give her the edge if I was a betting man about this.
Amy Klobuchar is pretty sharp, too, and I think Mayor Pete if he became president would be a breath of fresh air.

(8,000 posts)I don't understand what happened to her numbers. I thought she or Biden would win this thing hands down. It's refreshing to see you being pro-Warren instead of anti everyone else.

(2,193 posts)But I do like Joe.
I personally lean toward someone more outspoken against the system, more solidly to the left of center for our party, but if a majority of voters would come out for Joe then he might be the better candidate to beat Trump.

(8,231 posts)broadest appeal. The Russiapublicans in my life seem to have a 'tolerance' for him and the deplorables said they were 'afraid' of a Biden run.
Dump just got impeached trying to take him down....why??? Because he KNOWS Joe is going to steal those votes back from him in the swing states. Case Closed vote for Joe.
