Harris is best positioned right now, but that's not to say she will be the candidate to take him down. She's got a whole year to slip or flop, and a lot of time for the outrage engineers to break her down for no reason.
I'd vote for Hickenlooper. We could use a No-Drama persona about now. Repubs would have a hard time knocking someone who once worked in the fossil fuel business.
Obama was all about no-drama, but he made no drama feel inspiring. In comparison Hickenlooper is like one of those DVDs you find in a bargain bin at Walmart that looks like a Disney movie at first, but isn't.
That's a wonderful description – made my snow-covered day!
Thanks. Nothing that much against him, he's a perfectly fine bush league politician. I voted for him twice, but look who he was running against. When the contest is between "mockbuster" and "total trainwreck" the first one wins in a purple state.
As much as I am a Colorado partisan who would love to have one of "ours" in the White House, I think we're going to be like the Brooklyn Dodgers for some years yet. Losing and then looking forward the the next cycle.
It is Julián and not Julian.
Who cares. The accent mark means he's too old.
Not too old at age 44.
I care because his name should be spelled correctly. It is way past time for people in the USA to learn how to apply diacritical marks.
I love diacritical marks as long as they don't follow me into the bathroom.
I like them if I know how to make my machine use them.
It's easy enough on a tablet or phone; e.g. on Android you just hold down the appropriate letter and up pops a set of options.
Windows users can get a subset of characters if they are set up to use the US International or other non-US keyboard layout. The AltGr key if you have it, right-Alt key sometimes, and Ctrl-Alt combo otherwise can be held down in combination with a regular key to get certain symbols. E.g. Ctrl+Alt+a (or AltGr+a) will get you an 'á'. Wikipedia has a list – search for 'AltGr key'. Otherwise you have to use the Character Map accessory or memorize the Alt-number pad sequence for each special character (e.g. Alt+0169 gets you '©')
Mac users can use the Keyboard Viewer.
As much as I dislike Harris' participation in taking out Al Franken, I think her slogan, "Kamala Harris — For the People" is very effective. She describes how she entered a courtroom as a young prosecutor many years ago and uttered those words to the judge. That might just play.
Every Democrat nationwide has used that slogan for the last several years. Its straight out of DNC.
Works for me. Better than Make Trump Rich Again.
The slogan has not been used with a prosecutor's credibility.
The good news about Kamala Harris leading the poll is that, this cycle, I get to be accused of being both a misogynist and a racist when I fail to support her candidacy. With HRC, I only got to check one of those boxes. Election season is looking up!
You can also check being a cheeky dick. Instead of being a victim for who you don't like, how about telling us who you would support.
Bernie. Probably Liz Warren. Brown is interesting as a strong union guy, but I think he's probably underwhelming in other spaces, like universal healthcare, that are critically important to me.
Appreciate it. Maybe Bernie can change his spots again and re-register so he can run as a Democrat again. I can accept any of them if they are the nominee but hope that it will be a substantive primary with the media reporting on policy nuances and differences in implementations.
Ready for Hillary?

I think Clinton has slightly less chance of winning the Democratic nomination than Hickenlooper. An article in the Washington Post uses her percentages as a baseline to see which of the Senators currently running is most electable. Their conclusion is that Amy Klobuchar probably has the best chance of the candidates who can be compared this way.
I like Klobuchar. Which is probably why she won't win.
I know that feeling, RandR. I bet on the Titanic against the iceberg — and gave six points
Already, it’s common sense, facts, and decency that challenge trump . . .
Desperate, party of 1, your table is ready…
We will begin by opening our books to 2 Corinthians…..
Slow FOX News day, I imagine. I took a Bible as Literature course for one semester in high school back in 1974. MAGA, donnie . . .
. . . too bad he’s still an illiterate. (I dobut there’s a single state with a “Bible Literacy” course — pesky constitution.)
The Bible as literature was one of the best courses I took at CU.
A part of me wants Tulsi Gabbard to win, just to see how the US responds to her particular brand of hindutva racism and the hilarious shitshow that the hindu nationalist vs the white nationalist would be.
But, realistically, they'll go back to Creepy Uncle Backrubs and nominate Joe Biden to run with the blasé, run of the mill racism that we've been acclimated to instead of a new, weirdo sort of it that no one's expecting.
Paloma muerte….
We all know about her homophobia but tell me about Tulsi Gabbard's racism. And was that included in her apology tour.
She's a hindutva. They're basically like Trump, but for hinduism instead of for white evangelical christians, and they share in his vehement islamaphobia. Narendra Modi, also a hindutva and someone she really, really likes, presided over a race riot as governor wherein several hundred muslims were murdered and stood by and said nothing. She's argued, along the lines of Republicans, that the problem with Obama's foreign policy was that he refused to talk about "radical islam" and, while she's critical of the US military engaging in regime change wars, she is a strong advocate of the US military engaging in mass drone strikes, surgical strikes, etc against muslim countries because he problem with sending the US military in is purely about the effect on US soldiers with no concern toward the effect on the people living where we send them.
Which Russian run disinformation site for useful leftist idiots do you get your information from?
CBS.
That's actually CSBN, Birdie.
I was on my phone and text is really small and my vision isn't the best even with my glasses on.
That seems like an odd accusation when they're simply stating information that's been well-known for some time.
Tulsi Gabbard, the controversial, long-shot Democratic 2020 candidate, explained
Don't you know? Criticizing literally any Democrat, no matter how utterly awful they are, is Russian propaganda.
'Hmm, I could voice my support for a candidate I actually want to win, or I could call Joe Biden a racist. Yeah I'ma do that…'
…Is criticizing people for being racist bad, now?
But by your definition, Birdie, everyone is a racist.
Everyone has actively worked to uphold white supremacist institutions?
Imagine if you will, Late November 2019: a Democratic field mired in too many candidates and not enough charisma to compel anyone to watch the debates. Al Franken returns to SNL to debate Alec Baldwin as Trump…in a skit that effects revenge on Kristen Gillibrand, #too.
The video goes viral, everyone lightens up, and Franken ends up lighting up the Primaries to clinch the nomination in 2020.
Hey, it's a long shot, but if we're going to be making predictions this far out, why not go large?
You are toying now with itlduso's emotions. You know he/she/they is/are still carrying a torch for Al Franken.
Brilliant! Wait, Rinse and Repeat is right.
Actually, my flame for Al Franken burns because he should have never been forced out of the Senate for a goofball picture and some allegations that he grabbed a couple of butts during photo opps. Kind of like why CO Senator Daniel Kagan should not have been crucified for using the women’s Senate bathroom. Neither of those individuals committed “sexual assault” as some on this site have alleged.
My long shot is that the Mueller report comes out with smoking gun, no doubt about it treason on both Trump and Pence. Both are impeached and convicted leaving Nancy Pelosi as the new President.
Back to our regularly scheduled programming…
My long shot is that the Mueller report comes out with smoking gun, no doubt about it treason on both Trump and Pence. Both are impeached and convicted leaving Nancy Pelosi as the new President.
How I would love to see that happen too. But unfortunately, it is probably too much for which to hope. It would be difficult enough to get 20 Republican Senators to flip and vote to convict Donnie and make the Bobble Head president. There is no way in hell they will remove both and install Nancy Pelosi as president.
Jeebus
Stick with the theme
Mueller report… impeach the President, during the hearing, Pence… is abducted by aliens and they get in a car crash because they are holding their phone so they can see the directions on google map… and they all die.
First test of staff line-ups in early states shows Clinton not competing at this point, Biden smiling along, Sanders still trying to figure out who won't be toxic news …
Warren, Harris, Gillibrand, Booker, and a few others appear to be hiring New Hampshire and Iowa staff, plus others in some states. I don't know New Hampshire at all, but the little I know and slightly more I read, the bench of Iowa folks with recent experience and savvy is NOT huge — candidate #10 and others late to the effort will be scraping to finding adequate numbers of competent staff.
New wrinkle is California. Candidates will need 7 figure budgets to compete in California in February. Primary day is early March but because it is a mail-in state and the delegate count dwarfs Iowa and New Hampshire combined, candidates will need to have an organization and presence in the state well before the ballots drop. California is Harris' to lose. If she wins big Iowa and New Hampshire won't matter regardless of how many times Hickenlooper visits them.
If California is that early, maybe it will signal an end to the stupid early primary weighting altogether. Like the first horse out of the gate, it really shouldn't be taken too seriously.
March 3rd which is Super Tuesday along with Texas.
Kind of tells you how clueless Hickenlooper is that he is visiting Iowa like it is business as usual.
Would be easier to vote who WON'T be the Democratic nominee
x Bernie
x Gabbard
x Bloomberg
X Gillibrand
x Bennet
Interesting you didn't include Hickenlooper in this list.
Bernie in 2020 — on the off cha nce he's still alive!
gotta admit, Sudafed, your slogan has a ring to it.
