    I've found being smarmy is more effective than rage.

    Probably but I still like her. She's stand a better chance of beating Trump than Warren, imo.

    Huh? How can a person polling at around 1% have a better chance at beating trump than someone polling at over 20% and that's just in the democratic party That would be like saying Zach Collins had a better chance than Lillard from the Blazers to be league MVP last year.

    I know it seems crazy but I think unless Warren moves some to the middle and she has time she will not go over well in many States. Now in the Dem party the flavor of the month is free medical and I think when you states that millions of Americans would need to give up their insurance they are happy with it could hurt her.
    I just think both Klobachar and Gabbard both would appeal more to those that are more moderate.
    When it comes to politics Im always looking for some middle ground with candidates and ones that can relate with more than their base.

    Well, your opinion is defying logic as Gabbard has very little chance to even be the democratic nomination. I have nothing against her as she seems to be a sharp lady, but Warren has a much better chance in my book and the democratic election will likely prove that out as she hasn't been moving in the polls at all and certainly doesn't have near the following of candidates like Biden and Warren. I would put Mayor Pete significantly ahead of her as well. Now she might make for a good running mate, but that's likely the extent of where she stands in the next election.

    I haven't even gotten that far yet, but pretty much any of them would be better than what we have. I'm tired of the lies, divisiveness and all the childish personal attacks that come from this idiot in the White House along with his obvious objective of enriching himself and his buddies.

    Free health care for all may not be popular at this time but it is the right thing to do.

    im not saying its not, but taking way solid insurance form those that want to keep it, is the wrong thing to do.
    I favor both Lanny, we need medical care assistance for those that need it, but also give people choice to purchase.

    If they would offset it with free cell phone & cable coverage for all, it might be more enticing!
