I like Yang's Universal Basic Income. I think that will help solve a lot of problems.
Ojeda has an interesting idea about capping the wealth of our Washington representatives but I doubt he could get that passed. Still an interesting candidate.
Tulsi:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/11/tulsi-gabbard-run-president
-2020-democrat-hawaii
Iraqi war veteran, she met secretly with Assad. Maybe Mueller should look into that.
"Gabbard has also drawn criticism for secretly meeting with Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, during a 2017 trip to the war-torn country. Gabbard opposes removing Assad from power."

She's an excellent candidate in my opinion....Smart, articulate, and a very experienced prosecutor. I've seen a number of interviews with her over past few months and she's very impressive in my opinion. In particular, a recent C-span interview where she was speaking at a law school I believe...

Former Attorney General of California. Every time I've heard her speak I came away more & more impressed. I wouldn't mind seeing her on the the ticket as either candidate for prez or VP.

I've never been a huge fan of hers. She is definitely left of me, although she is definitely highly intelligent and we'll spoken. I'm not sure how much appeal she'll have to the independents, although if she faces the dumpster fire that is Trump it might not matter.

We haven't evolved enough.
I like her. Smart and a little sassy.

I can hear the right desperately searching online for something.....anything at all, to hate about Kamala Harris. “Surely there must be something, and I’m going to find it and pretend to hate her for it.” Just watch.
In the next couple weeks, Fox News will find it, create the talking point, and we’ll see it regurgitated here by the usual sheep who can’t articulate for themselves. It’ll be such a coincidence, that Goob and Mule will miraculously share the same frustrations as Fox News, at the same time!

They hate her already, and don’t even know why. I can’t wait to see the posts by Goober, Mule, and BIGV - all together in unison, spouting the same talking point provided to them by the media.
So what did you dig up boys? What insignificant factoid will you latch onto so you can pretend-hate her? How much time until you post it here? When she gains steam I imagine.

She actually is bi-racial.....So I suppose the Fox news crowd and the right will seize upon that as being a serious flaw.
What I think i find most appealing about her is while certainly a bit sassy (which I like in a candidate), she's at the same time calm and even slightly reserved. I think that is because she's very intelligent and doesn't talk merely to talk but think's deeply before she speaks.
I would say an example of this was in her questioning of Cavanaugh some months ago...While many politicians in such panel discussions ask prepared questions verbatim right off a sheet of paper, she, on the other hand showed her experience as a prosecutor in the way she questioned and listened to Cavanaugh...Her style of speaking and interaction reminds me slightly of Barack Obama.

Chain - I thought yesterday about her questioning of Cavanaugh, but I didn't post about it. Glad that you brought that up. My read is the same as yours. Glad you posted it. I'd like to see her as part of the ticket moreso than Warren or Gillibrand.

You're welcome....I agree and have said previous that I want no part of either Warren or Gillibrand on the ticket either as Pres. or VP....They both can do good things in the Senate. Even more so should the Dems gain control in of the Senate. And for the record, Gillibrand is one of my Senators....I'm a fan of hers, but think she should stay in Senate.

bigv,
Can you expand upon your reasoning why you make that statement about a Woman President"? Who are the "we" that you personally refer to? We doesn't include me.
You say you "do not believe we are ready for a Woman President". So - when do you think we will be ready? 10 years, 20 years, never?
I'll bet you $100.00 that Bernie won't be the nominee. Are you in?

She seems confused and blows where the politcal winds shift. I understand that she made it her personal mission to have truancy become criminal offense in California, clogging up the courts with low income minorities. If she is such a hard liner not sure why she is a democrat and opposes the Wall and Trump. ____________________

Ah...Stormy Daniels. Trump had a fling with her after his son was born & then paid hush money to make the story go away prior to the election. We can see why purists like goob & the Evangelicals would vote for her.

Well Goober, it’s because people can be different from one another.....even people among the same political affiliation. I know this comes as a shock.
As for opposing Trump and his wall, even you can understand the value of distancing yourself from a soon-to-be disgraced President working for Russia. You and your ilk might be ok being associated with scum, but any serious professional would be foolish to brand themselves with it. Even Guliani just said he’s afraid of what his tombstone will say. You really don’t get this?
