Yang is much brighter than Gabbard, but lacks command presence. Gabbard is jockeying for a VP slot.
You may be correct that the front runners cannot beat Trump, but there is a ton of runway left to go. The Democrats are still feeling their way around the course, not sure to hit Driver and play for birdie, or lay up and make par or bogey.
Per my posts months ago, Biden has lost a step. Not a knock, but age is showing. He also has a lengthy political record, which will be dissected. Puts him on defense and he lacks the acuity to counterpunch. Just not sure that he has the fight in him that propelled him for 40 + years. If Biden has not yet taken command of the conversation, not sure he ever will.
Bernie is sharp. Has plenty of fight. As does Warren. She is strong and bold and fearless. Don’t count her out.
I go back ‘n forth daily regarding whether the path is moderate center left, or bold and progressive. Contrary to so many friends and family, my gut is the turnout math favors turning the page and going bold and progressive. Not sure the white union worker is necessarily the difference maker. I think the math is changing quicker than we would gather.
Silly me also believes that voters who voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012, yet for Trump in 2016, will vote for the Democrat candidate, after seeing all the noise and corruption and outrage surrounding Trump’s administration. They may even opt for a progressive Democrat (Warren) preaching Medicare for all, as the better choice, but putting a check on their vote, by voting for the GOP candidate for the House or Senate.
Too early to know which direction things will break. Would not be surprised if forthcoming world or national events chart the course for us.
