will never be the same again. Now other countries are trying to interfere as well. People will start to mistrust our whole electoral process, which is one of Putin's objectives.

If we don't get republicans out of power, we'll never be able to fix anything.

marshaled military to fight Ebola, and has spent some years educating himself on medical research possibilities for cancer moonshot program. He seems well informed on coordination needed to pull together human talent for medical innovation, what resources are available, and he will undoubtedly choose great health team, be able to mount international response too. He knows who to call, how to negotiate through the channels.

I think it's a toss-up between Biden and Warren, with that experience from the inside giving him the nudge. I have confidence he'd move fast to put the right people in play to get it done.

(I still 'voted' for my candidate, here, though).

But given any Democratic presidential nominee, the Dem or even the 3rd party over the Dump.

Edit to add: I chose Elizabeth Warren over Joe Biden because although Joe would have the on the job experience, I would suspect that DJT has done such a wrecking ball on the place it might as well be starting from square one, and Elizabeth Warren pretty much created a new government department from scratch and that's before being a senator.
