Can we have a fresh face for 2020?

38. I haven't picked anyone, but Warren comes across to me

as someone who not only speaks to those who have been screwed over the years, but also as very genuine and empathetic.

The right wing media has already done such a number on her that many people pick up the meme without checking her out. A major part of it is simply sexist.

When I look at those who really seem to embrace what old Democratic values are I see Warren, Franken, O'Malley, Sanders of course. I haven't fully checked out Gillibrand or Kamala Harris (she is pretty new but I liked much of what she did in Cali.)

I believe Warren is in the middle, but just like Clinton the corporate media will do all they can to skewer the public perception.

Whoever it is will not only have to beat the Republicans, but also the Koch brothers and their allies who spent almost as much as the Republicans last go round, the corporate media which gave Trump a couple billion in free publicity and continues to do so (more than republicans spent) and who knows what kind of interference from abroad.

So the Democrat will have a 4 against one fight in 2020. I think we better have a candidate who speaks to workers and small businesses with sincerity and has a track record behind it.

I still don't see Warren as polarizing plus she already has a huge following.

Long ways to 2020. The very best Democrats could do right now is develop a coherent message for this country's workers and underclasses.
