17. Warren cant win because people dont like to be told "I know what you need, you dont"

Sat Dec 14, 2019, 03:11 PM

Dec 2019

When large numbers of people with insurance say they like their plans and they hear Warren repeatedly say "No one likes their current health plan", they bow up.
Not to mention the FACT that none of her revenue plans raise nearly enough money to fund all her proposed programs.

Trump should be easily beaten. But polls show its NOT going to be easy. And its not because of racism or Russians. Democrats HAVE to realize that & adjust to what changes the majority of the US will accept.

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