(29,219 posts)We have a weak field... that's why SO many jumped into the race.
It is going to be difficult to see us uniting behind one candidate this year... especially if no one has the delegates sowed up before the convention.

(8,155 posts)I sometimes wonder if having such a charismatic candidate ruined our future races because now everyone expects the same level of popularity. That's not possible and I don't expect it.
Nevertheless, Sanders is showing broad appeal and is hugely popular. Several other candidates show promise. But none of them (Sanders included) are going to perform on the same level as Obama.

Just sayin. Nobody this year is pulling in the crowds, especially young people and minorities, like Barack Obama did in 2008.
We need another Barack Obama.

(567 posts)Walter Mondale drew crowds as large as Obama. Every where he went literally 10's of thousands of people showed up. Crowd size means nothing.

Place was maxed out, totally packed, with thousands coming to the arena floor at start, the president tweeted. Thousands more outside that were not allowed in per code. Energy was really great to see.
A minute later, Trump tweeted a photo of the crowd at the rally, and demanded that his followers Look at the tremendous overflow at packed arena in New Hampshire last night.
