Sanders is on the left, but not an emotional, nutty leftists (pardon me to those who are very far to the left, but Sanders gives the impression when he speaks of being just steady and sensible, not ideologically driven).
Sanders gives the impression that he cares about people and is not greedy. We shall see how the general public takes to that. I like him very much and will vote for him if he is our candidate.
I think that Warren has a lot of passion on economic issues that our country desperately needs -- just to get us back in balance, just to restore opportunity and hope to people in the middle and lower class economically.
Both good candidates.
I hope they both or one of them challenge(s) Hillary. That's the only way we will find out where Hillary comes down on a lot of issues. Where she REALLy comes down on issues, how effectively she can argue and support her points of view on the issues. I'm doubtful that she is really effective in this way. Not like Warren or Sanders.
But she polls high because people recognize her name and like Bill as a person.
