      Yeah and their first two picks are Warren and Sanders...just awful.

      edit: followed by Biden...these clowns have no idea what it is going to take to win the Dem Nom in 2020 let alone what it will take to win the general.

        Well Bernie currently being the front runner sounds about right but that's not saying much given that we're still in 2017.

          Bernie will be 79 in 2020...and will still have the same problems he had in 2016. Blacks arent going to just up and decide to vote with him now.

          Lord Nate Silver took Clinton in the 2nd round...thank god none of them are in charge of the DNC.

            I think the 538 people came out and wrote that they were pretty much joking around so no big deal.

            Having said that Handy, you'd better be ducking those lightening bolts after dissing Bernie like that.

              I love Bernie but his problems had a spotlight shined on them against a vulnerable HRC. That wont change.

                How does a guy name Hickenlooper even make this list? Isn't he disqualified just.......because?
                That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                  Honestly, my favorite right now would be Franken. I know he's not running, especially if what's her name runs (the other MN senator), but good lord. Ivy League education and takes government seriously but could absolutely smoke Trump in the debates with his wits.

                    Sanders is not going to get any traction this time around. Either Warren or a younger liberal will run a campaign grounded on those principles.

                    God help us, the Democratic party needs a nominee under 60. Under 50 would be better.

                      Again stats have shown that age was the decider here, not to mention the southern states voted super early when Bernie was essentially unknown and hadn't began campaigning.

                      That said his age is definitely an issue and I'm hoping for a younger progressive.

                                No when it came to Bernie young Blacks didnt support him either. Check his polling numbers in that community they were horrible.

                                Franken said he would run if the party thought he was their best chance. (or something like that) I doubt Klobuchar gets any traction at all.
