I'm so impressed by the lack of platitudes. It is all about values + issues leading straight to concrete solutions...and relatable.

Wow! Senator Professor Warren* rocks.

One never knows but it looks like the Big 3 are Biden, Warren, And Harris.

It will be interesting how Joe suddenly flipping on the Hyde Amendment after first saying he was still fine with it plays. Once he started getting hammered on it he is suddenly against it after reaffirming he was still OK with it. In the end him getting on board is welcome as women’s rights are under assault.

I am eager to see the Debates, Warren should do well because she comes out earnest and ingaged with her takes, she has been there as a regular Mom undergoing some of the struggles regular folks can relate with.

I've loved Warren's patriotic fervor, and can-do pragmatism, since she first began rattling the banking industry. And she does have that fire due to enduring life in the trenches for a spell. What a contrast to the undeservedly privileged Mr. Dump.

This shows just how vulnerable Drumpf is, we have a whole slate of great candidates that can and would defeat him in 2020.

No one candidate is the "one and only" that can defeat Trump. The "electability" argument is clearly becoming a moot point since sooo many democrats can and will defeat the orange clown.

Let's all get behind the candidate we feel best represents our VALUES in the primaries.

What a great feeling to actually feel this way -- undecided about who I like best because I like several or more of our candidates so much. Don't think that this has ever happened to me before.

Though still, the only one actually beating Trump in TX today is Biden, by 4.

Could be who was polled. I think the larger the # of under 30 voters, Beto would do better.

The under 30 voters (my son is one of them) are torn between Beto and Bernie. Many of them were hoping Beto would run for Senate against Cornyn. I'm WAY past 30 and I was also hoping Beto would try again for Senate. Cornyn actually has weaker support among TX Republicans. Cruz's father is the Talibangelical Sr. pastor of a megachurch in Irving, so Ted has the rabid backing of all the Rapture-ready zealots here.

Trump with 46 percent and former San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro at 43 percent.
In the Trump-Biden matchup, women back Biden 54 - 39 percent as men back Trump 50 - 42 percent
