The top 5 are all "electable"

Let's cull the field after the next debate.

Just boggles the mind

to read complaints about Nina Turner when this is the advice coming from Biden's senior adviser.

Warren was good. Castro was very good.

But the best candidate at this forum was the independent, Mark Charles. (He's Navajo.)

I thought Bernie was not as good as the three mentioned. He arrived almost twenty minutes late and the forum adjourned on time so he only got forty minutes, while everyone else got an hour or more. He spoke from a lectern initially, using his notes obviously, but much of his standard stump speech was only slightly amended to the audience. For the first time in my experience, he looked a little tired.

All of the above were well-received and seem to have their respective strong supporters among the First Peoples, i.e. prominent endorsers, etc. Look at the Twitter hashtag #NativeForum if you want to read/see more (recommended).

I keep thinking that at some point

these comments from the Bidens are going to cause him to start losing support.

Maybe that's just wishful thinking ...

I watched the forum today

Castro did quite well.

No Kamala

Citing a scheduling conflict, Sen. Kamala Harris of California declined CNN's invitation.


Apparently busy fundraising ...

Why not replace her with Jay Inslee?

That ought to send

Nancy tumbling off the fence in favor, at long last

Try

reading into the second paragraph ...

this man's stamina.
