THAT's why I wanted Senator Warren, but knew we needed Biden. Nothing sticks to him. And this is a very, very desperate shit show.

And it has nothing to do with the quality of candidate. People are still very, very sexist.

that enthusiasm evaporated. The same people who said they would vote for her because of her progressive policies suddenly changed their minds, Warren used to be a Republican was too much like Hillary and other vague complaints. Popular when you are doing your job well, suddenly unpopular when you are running for president. The usual.

read the platform Hubert Humphrey ran on in 1968.

That was considered the mainstream of the Democratic Party back then.

No. He’s not. Neither was Hillary. Neither was Obama. Their views are not far left by any sane measurement.

Everything with him always has to be the greatest or worst “ever in history” How does this rhetoric work on anyone with even one working brain cell?

But keep flinging shit at the walls, Donald. But your fast-food based diet ensures that none of it will stick.

I do think Biden will be more lo the left than has been the norm for recent Democratic Presidents, and that is a good start.
