Biden/Harris It's a numbers game.

of both Russian hacking and the "normal" reTHUGlican election operation. I don't see how we can leave that out of any comparative equation.

they supported got the same support from Russia.

The concept that this election is a lock and that the Democratic Party can nominate a far left out of touch candidate is not the real world. If the economy does not falter (and trump is working hard to kill the Obama economy), then this will be a close race.

He is big on tearing everything down to allow every radical idea to be inserted.

while they propped up her opponents ( trump, Sanders,

if other candidates have what Obama does then they will do better.

a result of Russia’s cyber attack, Kerry’s loss highly suspect, and that Obama was a left to center candidate, a pretty centrist president. He was not considered electable until he had the numbers.

We are not lemmings. We do not choose left to center candidates to fulfill some misguided myth.
How some left to centers do have a wide appeal across many voting constituencies in the Democratic Party, among independents, and with swing voters should be obvious. The country as a
whole is not extremely left or extremely right.

The Novelty, or gotta hava gimmick, keep it fresh element does not in and of itself win elections. We did not take a huge risk in nominating Obama. He was the most outstanding candidate for many reasons. He also had a political campaign strategy the likes of which we had not seen before.

To this day, Democrats and independents who identify as left of the party establishment are disappointed that his policies and style of governing were not more progressive and aggressive.

Nonetheless this radically intelligent, charismatic, and decent leader, a centrist by most estimations today, remains one of the most popular presidents of the last several decades.

I think it’s pretty new that three top Dem candidates are seventy and over. Wow, dude, that’s the cat’s pajamas!
