[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea who is likely to get the nomination in 2020, but Sanders and Warren supporters are delusional if they think either one of them can win a general election, even against Trump.

[b]The vast majority of Americans are absolutely not going to vote for a "Socialist,"[/b] and if even you don't think that's what Sanders and Warren are, I can guarantee you that's exactly what they will be in the eyes of the electorate by the time the GOP is done with them.  [/quote]
I am not sure how many people you think are required to make a "vast majority" but at least 90%, of Clinton voters have already decided to vote for the Democrat, even it's Karl Marx himself.  There are probably another 5% or so of Trump voters who hated both Clinton and Trump, but would vote for almost any other Democrat.  "Socialist" is just not the kiss of death it used to be.  On the other hand, Trump has lost enough voters in some swing states to make his path to victory even narrower than 2016. [/quote]

Yikes, those are some big assumptions you’ve made! This is too important to make decision on assumptions. Warren is simply a joke to most Americans. I’m sorry, but it’s true. Sanders had his moment, and lost. Time for new blood. [/quote]

I dont think Warren is a joke to most Americans. Most Americans are not Trumpers. I do believe that Warren serves a purpose against big businesses and banks. I hope she doesnt run for POTUS. I agree with you in that we need someone under the age of sixty with new iand great deas. [/quote]

She is definitely running. And I HATE saying this but I just don't think people *like* her enough for her to win. I don't think she has that magic charisma. (I could be wrong. I often am.) This is not to say no woman could take it. I think there are women who could. The person I am personally most rooting for right now is Amy Klobuchar. I'd love to see her as president, and perhaps Beto as VP.[/quote]

Warren, as far as I can tell, lacks the requisite talents for fighting and for bringing people together. She's ok on policy, certainly a move up from before, but that's not enough.[/quote]
