Curious where folks stand on this. Answer only if you are a Dem or a Never Trump Independent/Republican. Assume Dems nominate Warren, Sanders, Biden, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Yang, or Booker. Is there someone on this list you would NOT vote for if nominated.
I did not expect the anti-Yang contingent. So let's try this with a compressed list. Same rules as above, only the possible Dem nominees are Warren, Sanders, Biden, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Booker, or Castro. Is there anyone on this list you would NOT vote for if nominated?
Ok, one last poll. You live in a swing state. You are a Dem or a Never Trump Independent/Republican. The nominee is either Warren, Sanders, Biden, or Buttigieg. Given these circumstances, is there anyone on this list you would NOT vote for?

The interaction Joe had with that voter in Iowa was just a real, human interaction. He wasn't some MAGA plant. Or a troll sent by another campaign. He was just an Obama voter who likes Warren, Buttigieg, & Yang...and not Joe. And Joe blew it. nypost.com/2019/12/05/man…
We're so used to everything being scripted these days. Every TV news panel is set up with people paid to deliver a particular script. But real human interaction on the campaign trail breaks those scripts by introducing real humans who don't fit the molds we expect.
I mean, f*cking news flash, some guy who isn't on Twitter all day doesn't have all of the facts straight about what happened with Hunter Biden in Ukraine. Why is anyone surprised about that? What he's expressing is this--it looks super fishy and everyone knows it.

In honor of Donald Trump's most recent work of soaring oratory--his nostalgic ode to the good old days of single flushers--I share this big league speech he gave in Billings, Mt back in 2018, modeled on Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. medium.com/@sethcotlar/da…
This was the speech in which he referred to himself (for the first time I think) as "your all-time favorite President." It was also the debut of "plaid shirt guy" who was standing behind him. nytimes.com/2018/09/06/us/…
Here's the original upon which Trump patterned his speech. abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/speech…

Yeah....not so much.
The Confederate flag largely disappeared after the Civil War and only became a staple of Southern political culture as a symbol of opposition to integration in the 1950s and 60s. washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-ca…
And if there's any question about why the Confederate states seceded, here's how they put it in their own words.

The Democratic field is effectively #Biden, #Warren, #Sanders, #Harris, and #Buttigieg

#DemDebate2
To clarify, I'm going by poll averages over the past few months. I don't think the debates have materially changed the dynamics of the race or altered the top tier.
That said, I think Biden's recent downward drift and Warren's rise will continue.

#Biden slumps, #Buttigieg soars, tied with #Sanders and #Warren, #Harris next in benchmark #Iowa poll thehill.com/homenews/campa…
Critical point here is that the MSM is claiming that #Sanders "came within a handful of votes" of #HillaryClinton, when he lost in a landslide of 4M votes, 1k pledged delegates (not SDs) and a dozen states.

This false narrative harms #Sanders--it's meant to highlight how badly he's doing in 2020 and prop up #Biden. But Sanders is actually doing better than in 2016. There are just more players. And Biden is being replaced by a younger centrist, #Buttigieg.

Response to #Biden skipping the California Dems is scathing.

Biden's "refusal to show up only reinforces the idea that he’s an elitist and he is more interested in collecting big checks in CA than being in genuine touch with grassroots activists."

#Buttigieg and #Warren took Biden on.
Buttigieg said that "the riskiest thing we could do is try to play it safe.... In these times, Democrats can no more promise to take us back to the 2000s or 1990s than conservatives can take us back to the 1950s.”

usatoday.com/story/news/pol… …
#Warren: “Some Democrats in Washington believe the only changes we can get are tweaks & nudges.If they dream at all, they dream small.Some say if we’d all just calm down, Republicans will come to their senses. Our country is in a time of crisis. The time for small ideas is over.”

#Warren, #Harris and #Castro had previously called for #impeachment weeks ago.

More Democrats Are Calling For Impeachment After #Mueller Said He Could Not Clear Trump buzzfeednews.com/article/paulmc…
A week ago both #Beto and #Buttigieg had joined the impeachment calls.Today #Booker, #Gillibrand and others added their voices for impeachment and #Sanders said he would support whatever Pelosi chooses to do, but said it seems time to examine the issue.
The outlier among the frontrunners is #Biden, who took a wait-and-see attitude. In his
statement, #Mueller declaratively punted the ball to Congress.
