Go Warren!

[Getting Traded]

I think Warren is better than Sanders.

I'll tell you why Sanders is better. For one, he has never been equivocal about who his constituents are -- the people. Warren has been on the fence about this. She endorsed Hillary, the corrupt DNC candidate instead of Bernie during the last primary. While I would prefer Warren than any of the others except for Bernie, I still question her commitment to Progressive ideals that Bernie has supported throughout his political career.

Why do you think democrats can win Florida? Just curious. I’m asking you to dissuade me from my pessimistic view of the state. Clinton won 200k more Floridian votes than Obama did but got her *** kicked by trump in the state because Floridians got off on trump’s rhetoric.

Quinnipiac has Biden by 9 points. It's a decent poll.

Please, Never Biden, another DNC candidate but while less corrupt than Hillary also less capable. Instead of a tweeter, we will get a man who forgets what he said yesterday. And with his memory failing, it will only get worse.

Interesting. But I’d guess these numbers will tighten up a bit come election time. Florida is almost always close. Although, Trump seems to really excite Floridians more than traditional republicans. He received almost 500,000 more votes than Romney.

If Dems win Florida, that allows them to drop a state like Wisconsin or Michigan.

Again, the path towards reelection is a tough one. Trump has to win all of the swing states, including Florida and the blue wall.

Florida had an influx of 200K residents from Puerto Rico in the last 2-3 years.

I think it's safe to say most of them are not Trump fans.

Also my parents moved to Florida last year - they assured me they're not voting for Trump.

I think this thread demonstrates why the Democrats might have trouble.

This news/commentary anchor considers herself a progressive Democrat...

Once Warren is the front runner (coming very soon) her perceived ability to beat Trump will increase accordingly.

I'll grant she's not as far to the left as Sanders, but she's easily on the left side of the Democratic party.

I like Bernie, I voted for him in the primary last election, but he's not the only true progressive candidate.

On paper, Warren is actually as far left as Bernie (or at least, she was). She supports Bernie's Healthcare for All. She wants to decriminalize undocumented migrants crossing the border and extend healthcare to them as well. She's proposed student-loan forgiveness and other progressive social programs. The thing is, everyone knows these exorbitant government programs are unlikely to pass through the House, let alone the Senate, and she's being warned that these proposals are too far left to get her elected. She may be starting to move a bit back towards the center and make concessions as she tries to win over the DNC. It's enough that some on the left side of the party are questioning whether she's truly one of them anymore. Posing with Hillary Clinton didn't help that perception.

I’m sure this is just a coincidence.

For a Democrat to become president you need a rock star. If you accept the fact that LBJ rode into the WH in 64 on JFK's coattails you're looking at one Dem president since WWII that wasn't a rock star. Warren is about a far as you can get from a rock star.

And her taking Trump's bait on the Native American thing was very disappointing - if she's the pick she better have learned from that.

Her rallies have already proven you wrong

She has incredible self-control as a messenger. Mayor Pete is the only other candidate close to her level in this respect, but he doesn’t have the same following/scrutiny/heat.

I’ve been out of town for 5 days... what concessions?
