but she's really not well liked anywhere else. Her endorsement would be a liability on the national stage.

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

Thanks! UncleNoel Sep 2019 #33

I think Biden said it first and introduced this idea right out of the gate--that we are in a struggle emmaverybo Sep 2019 #55

"Nothing would fundamentally change" trotsky Sep 2019 #2

Good old "Clinton would be worse than Trump" Salon LongtimeAZDem Sep 2019 #38

Yeah, how dare they quote Biden's words. trotsky Sep 2019 #44

Well, just becauae she's the enemy of my enemy doesn't meant she's a friend. lark Sep 2019 #3

Agree totally. oldsoftie Sep 2019 #11

omar shut up and sit down Rene Sep 2019 #4

She has a right to say how she feels. n/t zackymilly Sep 2019 #6

Should she "go back to where she came from" too? bullwinkle428 Sep 2019 #7

Yeah, no obamanut2012 Sep 2019 #13

Right, and go back to some shit-hole country? pangaia Sep 2019 #19

Biden wouldn't say anything of the sort BeyondGeography Sep 2019 #26

My current list of most likely to generate large accomplishments. TidalWave46 Sep 2019 #5

Did she endorse anyone or is she just against Biden? George II Sep 2019 #8

Post removed Post removed Sep 2019 #36

She has some worries in her own re-election Peacetrain Sep 2019 #9

im pretty sure that is a safe blue district JI7 Sep 2019 #12

We don't know yet if there will be a primary challenger. George II Sep 2019 #14

No she doesn't obamanut2012 Sep 2019 #15

No way. Scruffy1 Sep 2019 #18

In that case I would think she WOULD, in fact, support Biden..if she wants their votes.. pangaia Sep 2019 #20

She won that district by almost 4-1 FBaggins Sep 2019 #29

I used to live in her district. BlueWI Sep 2019 #46

Her district is very, very blue. The only person that can beat her is another Dem. Blue_true Sep 2019 #47

We need a primary challenger pronto PhoenixDem Sep 2019 #62

I think a primary would put some perspective into her head. Blue_true Sep 2019 #64

The entire "squad" should be defeated in primaries nt PhoenixDem Sep 2019 #80

That "moderate" Republican is a batshit RW loon The Velveteen Ocelot Sep 2019 #52

The more you find out about her, the less you think she needs to be the voice of the party. oldsoftie Sep 2019 #10

I am sort of in the same place. She can be thoughtless in how she talks about stuff. Blue_true Sep 2019 #48

Like The Who sang "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" redstateblues Sep 2019 #51

I like her a lot. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2019 #16

Things like this Lulu KC Sep 2019 #17

Omar's rejection of Joe may give his campaign a boost. oasis Sep 2019 #22

I completely agree - it will most definitely help him - thanks Ilhan! Skya Rhen Sep 2019 #37

I agree Green Line Sep 2019 #43

I think we need experience above all else going forward bucolic_frolic Sep 2019 #23

Joe is fortunate that Omar is against him. Her district may love her comradebillyboy Sep 2019 #24

I think that a liberal Dem in her district can primary her. Blue_true Sep 2019 #49

good luck with that, she is locked in for reelection Celerity Sep 2019 #63

Have you read about Gabbard's opponent? She IS NOT locked in for reelection. Blue_true Sep 2019 #66

good luck with that, Kai Kahele will end up like Sherry Alu Campagna and Shay Hodges Celerity Sep 2019 #67

LOL. We're see. nt Blue_true Sep 2019 #68

DU has a search engine, the same bullshit was said for years about Gabbard Celerity Sep 2019 #69

I don't make wagers. I am not a gambler, never have been. Blue_true Sep 2019 #71

feel free to hold me to it Celerity Sep 2019 #72

I you prove to be wrong, you will just be wrong. I would expect you to stay on DU. nt Blue_true Sep 2019 #74

I have zero doubt I will be wrong, thus my boldness nt Celerity Sep 2019 #78

It is fine to have bold progressive ideas, but what chance have they in becoming a reality. olegramps Sep 2019 #25

Medicare for all is not like current Medicare. roody Sep 2019 #56

Yes, I understand that. The problem is convincing 170 mil to change. olegramps Sep 2019 #57

It is wrongheaded to come out AGAINST one of our candidates instead of blm Sep 2019 #27

Agree. SharonClark Sep 2019 #40

Did she come out "for" someone? NT TidalWave46 Sep 2019 #28

Look for Omar on fox - and her Q recognition will rise to Omar's benefit. empedocles Sep 2019 #30

Oh, whoopeedo. kstewart33 Sep 2019 #31

agree. Anybody know which POTUS candidate she's endorsing? onetexan Sep 2019 #32

It's "very clear" from the polls that he's the right choice. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #35

OK...but will she still be in office in 20...her approvals are down. Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #39

She draws way too much unneeded controversy to her. Blue_true Sep 2019 #50

I think she may face a primary. Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #58

It would not surprise me one second to see that happen. Blue_true Sep 2019 #60

Good; every attack from the far left helps us pick up the moderate votes needed to win LongtimeAZDem Sep 2019 #41

Crap like this pushes me closer to supporting Joe. tritsofme Sep 2019 #42

So is she not committing to backing the Dem nominee? 5starlib Sep 2019 #45

Fortunately the Squad has kept a lower profile. Someone has let them know that redstateblues Sep 2019 #53

Who is the "we all" she speaks for? We all want progress yes. I'd also like to have a president emmaverybo Sep 2019 #54

Omar also called Pres Obama a "..pretty face who got away with murder.. " Cha Sep 2019 #76

I did not know that. Thanks for the info, Cha. Seriously discrediting. And, no, backtracking won't emmaverybo Sep 2019 #83

Good for Omar Tarc Sep 2019 #59

I like her but she's wrong on this one MustLoveBeagles Sep 2019 #70

She did call Pres Obama a ".. pretty face who got away with murder.." Cha Sep 2019 #75

Oh dear MustLoveBeagles Sep 2019 #77

Yes she was.. and I support her against that Cha Sep 2019 #79

So much has happened in the last 6 months that I tend to forget some things MustLoveBeagles Sep 2019 #85

"Ilhan Omar Backtracks After Calling Obama a "Pretty Face" Who "Got Away with Murder" Cha Sep 2019 #73

Imagine this won't be well received by fellow dems following her other comments in the past FloridaBlues Sep 2019 #81

So another one who can tell you who she's against but not who she's for. Just "exciting".... Hekate Sep 2019 #82

I do not listen to her for wisdom or political finesse, though I would defend her right to express emmaverybo Sep 2019 #84

Agree with your measured response Hekate Sep 2019 #87

Her and AOC of "The Squad" still haven't learned to stop attacking other Dems. brush Sep 2019 #86
