consider that to be a failing. Boldness for the sake of boldness is flawed leadership. Huge waste of energy dreaming up pie in the sky when she could have been working on do-able policy.

She has never given me any sense of what qualifies her to be a leader of a superpower, THE leader
of the free world, to lead the international community, to deal with a world growing closer than ever before to a first nuclear catastrophe.

If she dreams up one more plan, I think I will stop reading anything about her. I notice when she is
not giving the occupy wall street economics lecture and not explaining one of her plans or unveiling a new one, she hasn’t much conversation.

She has discovered the black electorate, but rather late in the day. Now she is outreaching to black leaders. Hey, Liz, they were there all along.

I don’t think the problem in her potentially attaining a wider base is where she gets labeled on the political spectrum, but how wise or foolish her proposals are both in terms of political and financial
capital. I wonder too if she understands all she will have to do to rebuild the broken infrastructure
Trump will have left behind. And will she, between policy designing and implementing, have time to
Work on getting Iran back to the table, broker agreements between Israel and Palestinians?

Does she realize the Republicans want to cut social security while she is giving everyone two hundred more a month? No mention of protecting it as is, first order of biz. Oh, and while waiting to
roll out M4All, Repugs want to cut Medicare and Medicaid. No mention. Big ideas...

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

I voted other. Nothing would change in my opinion of her. She's a close 2nd to my favorite & gaining Runningdawg Sep 2019 #17
