    I think he wants to turn Microsoft into Trump steaks, Trump Air, Trump Water and Trump University. Sears would be a colossal upgrade.

    Bye bye Joe!
    You got to go!
    Make room for Harvard's first minority woman hire.

    Oh goodness! It wasn't just Harvard!
    "Harvard wasn’t the only university facing pressure to hire minority faculty. The University of Pennsylvania also reported Warren as a minority hire when she taught there."

    Not my first, or even 25th, choice as I’ve made clear elsewhere.

    Are you implying I got the idea from those shows? Sorry, I've never seen a moment of either.

    I've heard pundits claim that Biden may be hurt by all this negativity directed at him but I think that with this impeachment inquiry it just might just give Biden a boost.

    It's really hard to know. I think it depends a lot on how he responds.

    It depends on too many variables for me to accurately predict. I feel more comfortable predicting the possibility of life somewhere out there in our Universe than I do on what's going to happen with Biden.

    I would not count out either Biden or Sanders. If Sanders comes back roaring it might even help him; he can use his illness as a departure point for talking health care. Biden has been in public life for decades. He's done a lot of things I don't like but corruption is not one of them. He did not become a millionaire in the Senate, unlike, say, Mitch McConnell. The Trump fans, of course, consider every tweet Holy Writ. If he tweeted the moon is made of green cheese they'd all buy Wonder bread to make moon cheese sandwiches. But they aren't voting in Democratic primaries.

    Where I think this would hurt him is that his selling point has been electability. He might not be most exciting but he can beat Trump. Now we can expect a nonstop barrage of "crooked Joe" and chants of "lock him up". The New York Times will dutifully write front page stories about Biden's credibility, mentioning in paragraph 51 that there is no evidence for charges. Four years ago, a majority was actually convinced a pathological liar and lifelong conman was the most honest and trustworthy candidate!

    Warren is not surging by default. She has risen steadily every month; as people know more about her they like her more. She has "a plan for that", all in comprehensible language. She has raised a ton of money from small/medium donors. And she has thousands of committed volunteers ready to put in the time to get out the vote. Also, she is first in second choice poll. So as candidates drop out, their supporters will look for an alternative and Warren will get a lot of them. So it's not like Biden & Sanders are self-destructing and she's the only one left.

    im really intrigued by the Dem candidates because they don’t seem like fucking morons with five brain cells. That’s exciting.

    Sanders is toast but I hear that Buttegieg is showing signs of life. Now, that would truly be a miracle, but realistically I don't think he stands a chance either.

    What are you saying? Are you saying the Trump even has five brain cells? A man that doubles down on his public blatant briberies?

    Sanders is leading certain polls in certain states. NH primary poll being one that isn’t exactly insignificant. He’s not toast, he just doesn’t get any love from the establishment news outlets you watch. Buttigieg is definitely toast though (thank god).

    Biden is horrible, he is such an establishment hack. He is only leading because of his relation with Obama and the fact that most people dont really know the other candidates. As the field narrows and people learn about the others, he is bound to fade.

    Warren and Sanders are very similar candidates to the average person. They even seem to work together well and refuse to attack each other. I really like both of them and I feel at some point they merge their support into one or the other. The obvious choice would be Warren since Bernie is older and has more health issues.

    Mayor Pete and Harris are the candidates the media wants. They are both just progressive enough to not rock the boat to much but be very enticing to the old democrats who want to feel progressive.

    Everyone is still sleeping on Yang. He just feels like the 2016 Bernie at this point. He will finish in the top 3, book it.

    Yang is my favorite so far but he doesn't have the fire to debate Trump and take down his bluster...in my view only Warren will have the ammo to destroy Trump in a debate...Bernie might have it but not sure his heart is up to excercising the adrenaline it's going to take to bring down the great pretender. Joe doesn't do as well when he can't smile his way through a debate..Warren isn't going to smile at all.

    Truly funny that anyone thinks Americans will vote for socialism now that Trump has restored the economy and most Americans have seen their personal wealth increase dramatically through Capitalism in a couple years.
