twice. Look at the makeup of Democrats in Congress. The Democrats do fine.

today. she has a good path on the next few tuesdays.
and it becomes a productive discussion instead of a shit show.

if he cared about policy, he would get out of the way.

areas, Believe me, Obama would not have chosen him for his FP creds and advice if he weren’t as smart as Warren in his field of expertise, despite not being an academic.

presidential responsibilities in 4 years and hold that office for two terms. Or she can start as VP and then be appointed to the USSC and then Biden can name another VP, who will then hold the Pres office for two terms. Amy would not be my VP choice. Stacey would not be my VP choice, but surely there's a place for her in the administration.

Regardless of who is elected if they do not expand the USSC we will be spinning our wheels and change will not happen. Biden has said he is against expanding the USSC. We'll find out whether that's true or whether his position is a campaign secret.

about me.

I'd support almost anyone I thought could rid us of that scourge. Fortunately, I think Biden is an inherently decent man.

We must just survive. We might see a woman assume the Presidency yet.

Demography is destiny. This will be one of the last elections ever where the choices are so limited and devoid of diversity. It's inevitable.

but here we are. again.

I am betting it will be a woman

It's great when the best option overall ends up being of a diverse background, but it shouldn't be a requirement

so yeah, sometimes it needs to be a requirement, just to knock down those hidden (and not so hidden) barriers

someone you were "actually enthusiastic about"...I was quite
enthused about voting for Barack Obama, weren't you?

drumpf may actually be doing what he set out to do - erasing every trace of Obama. yes I was so amazed and proud that we elected him. it seems so long ago and far away now doesn't it? one step forward, three back.

I was just a bit depressed this morning.

It DOES seem like forever since Obama's presidency. Don't be depressed, though..It's clear that Diversity has made BIG strides..Could we have imagined a gay man even RUNNING for president ten years ago, let alone doing as well as Pete has?...I'm disappointed about Elizabeth Warren, but I think -- in THIS election, especially -- people are afraid to "take chances"". They see the spectre HRC and think "A woman can't win" and then, again, she has progressive policies, another "chancey" proposition for a very nervous electorate.

We may have to wait until the particular emergency of Trump has passed before we see a real "change" election. That said, I'm confident of it's coming.

in Texas yesterday I voted for a black US Senator, a black US House Representative and a rainbow of other representatives or judges

I think this Old White Man has voted for more "minorities" than "old white men" for several elections

Voting for the best qualified candidate should be color-blind and no Democrat should take that criticism based upon our record of diversity

I too, would like to be enthused again, but I guess my fear for the life of our country this time chose me to go to Joe. The first thing we need right now is someone who can step in and fix this downward spiral our country is in.
