It has been an interesting week or two for the democrats. Biden struggling Warren soaring Sanders probably falling out of favor due to health concerns, as Warren makes hay while he rests. Harris, is she still in the hunt? Mayor Pete may be the VP nominee in the end.....or even the actual nominee. Cory Booker, is he even still around? When was he in a political headline involving his campaign? Everyone else is pretty much backgound noise unless something really blows up soon. I really expected more out of the contestants at least til the end of January.

Trouble is she may come in third or forth in her home state of California......not a good thing.

edit: if she were smart, she would get out soon, and mobilize her voters for one of the other leading candidates. she won't do that, though, if I am guessing her right.

If some think the border wall along the southern border is long, wait until they see the border wall along the northern border.
In the same vein..... a little dated, but still holds true.

IMHO...and I'm an old, white woman....Warren is going to lead sooner or later. Think it would be a BIG mistake to choose Beto as a VP, mayor Pete would be much better & still isn't from the east coast which will be a +! The only other VP that might wake up a bunch of this country might be Stacey Abrams...but I'm not sure 2 women could win nation-wide.
Beto has been making too many radical statements. It's bringing attention to him, but not the kind he should be wanting.

Beto never had a chance. Just too green to be POTUS. Possible veep candidate as he could help swing Texxass based on his showing against Cruz. Maybe secure more Hispanic votes along the way. If Beto is the VP pick, who would be the actual Presidential candidate? If it were Warren, would it help the entire ticket? Probably too radical. If it were Biden, I think he would take Mayor Pete over him. Safer and better choice in the fall election. Same for Warren. Sanders would be interesting. Would he go with a female rather than a male choice? Has anyone ever thought who Sanders would have on the ticket? I do not think anyone has ever thought about his pick this year or 2016..... To have conversation about possible VP choices seems a bit premature to me...Think it is still Biden's to lose and personally believe he can get down and dirty and loud best with the Donald...but that is me.

she is tied with Biden, has all the momentum, and leads in the first two primary states.

I agree,, that one reason she won't make it. this has not been a reason for me to vote for or against someone since I realized that voting for someone I dislike is no way to end up with a government that represents my personal interests.
I wish everyone would do precisely the same.

Now I am not even sure who you are referring to. Are you talking about Klobachar and Harris? I don't think they have been disrespectful. They just want to come at the problem a different way.

And,,,, I am call a troll!! Yes indeed you are. You referred to legitimate candidates for the office of Vice President of the United States as "little girls". That is disrespectful, and trollish. The response in the form of a question was perhaps a bit trollish as well. However with tongue planted in cheek it was a literal reply to your statement. "Little girls" would be approximately six years old, or so. AOC?
