(37,648 posts)1. 2 females (the country hasn't even gone for 1 female in the 2nd banana seat yet)
2. 2 "coastal elites," as regarded by middle Americans (many Americans have a view of the Dem. Party as representing the two coasts, and not representing the rest of America, much less relating to them or understanding them)
3. 2 fairly unknown people, nationally.
4. One of them has no executive experience (Warren).
5. 2 Senators (Senators have a hard time getting elected as President; lots of fodder for attacks, and being in the Senate is a group effort, not executive experience)
6. 2 Senators who have reputations of being left of moderate. They represent the same constituency, I think, which is not the majority of the Democratic Party.
7. 2 Senators, neither of whom brings to the election a state or geographic area that isn't going to vote Democratic, anyway.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
