She's definitely a team player. She's a loyal Democrat who wants to BUILD and GROW the party.... not someone who seeks to diminish, denigrate, demoralize, destroy, smear, tarnish and weaken the party for their own purposes. I cannot abide any candidate who thinks they are entitled to destroy-and-rebuild the party in their own image... no matter how popular he (or she) thinks they are.

The thing is... if someone seeking the Democratic party nomination is someone who engages in the kind of talk that promotes negativity... well, I think it's important to remember that negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages party support and voting for other Democratic candidates... and that just makes it easier for the GOP and Trump and Russia to steal elections.

Senator Warren is someone who always impresses me with her conviction, her passion, and her demeanor. She's someone that I could listen to intently and be motivated by. Other candidates don't have a demeanor that captures my attention, other candidates fail to inspire me, and some of them downright annoy me (I guess that's to be expected... but it doesn't make them any less annoying and nerve grating).

In any case, what I'm trying to say is that Senator Warren is a candidate who's rising to the top for a reason. I could totally support her without reservation if she's our party's nominee.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

The DNC did nothing to help Hillary in 2016 nor could they have if they had wanted to. StevieM Aug 2019 #21
Absolutly right. The NYT has always smeared Hillary... comradebillyboy Aug 2019 #23

re: "The DNC did nothing to help Hillary in 2016" thesquanderer Aug 2019 #35
The emails, hacked by Vladimir Putin, showed no such thing. StevieM Aug 2019 #42
Do you have some reputable links to back up your perspective? thesquanderer Aug 2019 #45
Elizabeth Warren didn't actually site any actual examples. StevieM Aug 2019 #47
Still, I give more credence to Warren's opinion than that of an anonymous poster on the net. (nt) thesquanderer Aug 2019 #50
