2016 Democratic Primary: Who is your candidate

[longship]

9. Opinions are irrelevant at this point.

You can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which hand fills up sooner.

For Christ sakes, half the DUers have Elizabeth Warren 2016 stickers in their posts and she's repeatedly said that she's not interested in national office.

What we have here is not politics, which often grinds away often frustratingly slowly, but a mass delusion that the United States should some how adopt a permanent presidential campaign mode. Therein lies madness, my friend.

Let it rest for another year or so. Meanwhile, there's a pretty damned important election coming up this year. And if there's one thing we should have all learned in 2010 is that midterm election outcomes can have a profound effect on the success of a presidency.

That's why some of us here see this 2016 stuff as misdirected energy and counter-productive.

We cheer on our next presidential candidate at the cost of congress at our collective peril.

Regards.
