It's Biden, Warren or Buttigeig. Biden (god help us!)(and I'd say the same about Warren).

Any of them would be light years better than our current nightmare.... so I'll take comfort in that.

Yep

Ugh. Are you kidding? Two white men??
Pete and Stacey Abrams is a ticket I could get excited about.

Also I actively dislike the entitled Pete. I like Warner but agree - he’s doing a great job where he is.

What's "entitled" anout Pete? He's from a middle class background and is worth anout $200,000.
Does he even own a house?

He's smart and a natural politician, a Rhodes Scholar, much like Clinton. Entitled? No. Gifted? Yes.

If Buttigeig is Democratic nominee, then regardless of who the VP candidate is, he will get fewer Electoral College votes than Hilary Clinton did in 2016. The country is more ready for a woman President than for an openly gay man President. It is just hard reality. Social change doesn't move at light speed just because someone is a white gay man.

You’re right. Everyone who can’t close a statewide election even once should TOTES run for the highest office in the land. Nothing whatsoever is entitled about running for President when you’ve been mayor of a small city.

The obsession in this thread about racial and gender identity, instead of what matters (class politics) is saddening. You all are playing into the 1 percent’s divide and conquer strategy and bickering about what woman or what minority candidate will have the privilege of selling out your interests to the wealthy elite. You should care about what politician will help working class Latinos and black people, not whether the person you elect fits your superficial check boxes.

Someone like Bernie Sanders would actually champion policies that would affect the largest amount of minority voters. Who cares if he isn’t a woman? Margaret Thatcher and Sarah Palin are women... SMH.

I would love to hear the conversation when the pipsqueak mayor if a rust belt town asks a man who helped create modern telecom, was governor of a large state, and is a brilliant US senator to be his VP

The temerity, the hubris, the a$$hattery!!

I am the one who wrote two posts ahead about a woman President before a openly gay President. I will wholeheartedly vote for Bernie or Warren they have accomplishments and they have plans. It is sad that in all of our history we haven't elected a single woman or a single non-christian. We elected one Catholic and on black (actually black-white mixed race) President. In the privacy of the voting booth people vote with their true feelings as opposed what they may say openly. Polls are not to be trusted when a candidate has certain characteristics that are different from the majority (as in the case of Buttigeig or Booker or Castro) or different from past history (as in the case of a woman candidate). Incidentally, for all the progressive ideas being touted by the Democrats (and I am an Independent) and having the greatest diversity of candidates, no minority candidate will even be among the last two or three candidates in the Democratic primary race. Whereas, in 2016 the candidate who finally lost to Trump in the Republican primary race was Ted Cruz (Hispanic, Irish/Italian mixed race).

DEMOCRATS TALK THE TALK BUT DON'T WALK THE TALK.

Are you high?? Source please.

Iowa and NH polls. Warren is fading and Biden doesn't have near the level of enthusiasm as Bernie. Bernie also has way more funds than Warren or Biden.

Sorry to break it to you UMC types, but the working class is fed up and Bernie is going to be the nominee.

I would live it. I voted god Trumo but if Bernie gets the nom I will vote for him.

Actually, I’d argue the opposite is true. Look at what happened to Hillary Clinton. I worry quite a bit about what will happen if Warren gets the nomination. Trump will paint her as Hilary 2.0.

What a farce. Your boy Bernie is the reason we got Trump in the first place.
