I think she may be the most intelligent of the bunch, but I don't know about competent. Obama was clearly one of the most intelligent--at least in the academic sense--presidents we have ever had, but he was too much of a narcissistic, self-absorbed, arrogant a-hole to be able to work with others, and he had zero experience doing so. He had no concept of the kind of give-and-take that is necessary to get things done in the real world. As a result, he was unable to get much of his socialist/communist/collectivist agenda passed, thank God. Looks to me like she suffers from the same problem.

Maybe. But Biden is clearly losing it. Sanders is cranky. And others in the Senate seem to dislike Warren. Warren is also so far left, she won't get much done except by executive order.

I think the Bern is done, Sloe is on the plane crash emergency slide to oblivion, I don’t think even black folk like knee pads.
So, we’re left with Warren, I guess. Trump can give the whole Fauxcahontas thing a good run, but then he needs to let it drop.
Let her run around with all her 5 year “plans” like Mao did, and she can tout her fake HahVawd bona fides.
I mean, who else could possibly be more deserving of that prestigious spot?
I don't particularly like him, but what makes you think Bernie is done? He seems to be gaining support from what I've seen anecdotally, but I'll admit I pay little attention to polls.
Elizabeth Warren has supplanted him as the alt-left candidate of choice. His campaign is DOA, it's only a matter of time. He should drop out after he doesn't win New Hampshire, but I imagine he will be too stubborn to do so.
He was exposed big time after the first debate of basically only having 3 talking points which he plays on repeat. It worked last time because it was just him vs. Clinton, but his message doesn't stand out anymore with 20+ other candidates all saying the same thing, and then some.
I'd admit that he's been better since the first debate, and experienced a slight bump, but the shift in support from him to Warren already happened, and I doubt they'll go back. There's no reason to, Warren is much more high energy.
You underestimate the feverance of his supporters.
I think it will be Warren, but Sanders has a chance. Biden might even avoid embarrassing himself so much he gets knocked out.

His so-called fervent supporters are ~15% of the democratic base. The rest that voted for him in 2016 were those that just wanted something different other than a run of the mill neo-liberal. That demand has obviously been met with the 2020 field.

I will repost this again from our local paper the other day. Angela was in town to stump for a mayoral candidate:
Quote:Angela Rye, the CNN commentator who clashed with Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland a year ago, called Strickland a racist and a “Dixiecrat” during a Thursday luncheon in support of Memphis mayoral candidate Tami Sawyer.
Rye said she didn’t know Strickland personally, but she didn’t like him and that when she thought of perpetrators of racism and bigotry, she thought of him. She offered few specifics of why she thought he was racist or why she had compared him to an offshoot of the Democratic Party that espoused white supremacy and seceded from the party during the 1948 presidential election.
zero evidence of racism. Just yell it really loud and a lot of folks will believe it.
No doubt this b*tch is crazy....
This nut job is upset that he said "these folks." Maybe he should have said "some people" instead.

That’s her schtick. She puts every word you say under a microscope and then accuses you of everything under the sun. She’s a very hateful and unhappy person.

You should hear some of her long form interviews on foreign policy and civil liberties. She’s a hell of a lot more Ron Paul than Obama. It’s why Ron Paul’s casting his vote for her on Super Tuesday.
Some of you act like the RNC didn’t play these same bull **** games with Ron and Rand. Anyone who challenges the military-industrial complex and the surveillance state gets axed. It doesn’t matter what party you caucus for.

My favorite Ron Paul moment was during one of the debates in 2012 and they began talking about tax returns.. Everyone was saying they've gotten theirs back and was throwing numbers out there.. They excluded Ron Paul.. When they asked him a question, he was cordial and thanked them for excluding him from the tax return talk because the amount of money he made in a year didn't touch what some of them were talking about what they paid in...

Everyone seems to know a better way Trump should say things. I think he’s doing quite well since he says a lot. He has answered more questions in 3 years than his predecessor did in 8. He IS the most transparent president EVER!

President Trump is the ringmaster of a three-ring circus. The Democrats have no one that can come close to competing with him in this context. Anytime that they start to gain any attention at all in one of the circus rings, he deftly switches attention to a different ring. All the while, the media runs around all three rings like a bunch of clowns.
Yes, he's doing quite well at what he does.
But, for some of us, America is not a circus. We deserve better.

I'd vote for Hillary in a heartbeat over anybody in the democrat field. At least there is a nonzero possibility, however slight, that Bill might talk some sense into her.
