    The Democratic Party Is Culling the Field Too Soon

    Candidates should be focusing on retail politicking in Iowa and New Hampshire. Instead, they're wasting money trying to meet arbitrary debate requirements.
    And then attacking each other, instead of trying to achieve the common goal: get Trump out.

      IA and NH may not matter any more. The only reason they ever mattered was the money waited for the results before committing. But now everybody knows that they are wildly unrepresentative of the Democratic electorate (way too rural, waaaaaaay too white) and so not indicative of success in the nomination, so the money doesn't care what happens anymore. SC is the first primary that matters for D, now.

      Obviously IA and NH are still clutch for R.

        Makes sense. Yang has the perfect solution for a Silicon Valley left-ish tech bro.

        I have to admit it's very attractive to me.

About the most optimistic forecast for Dems in the Senate would be maybe 53 votes, and that's if they take ME, CO, AZ, IA, NC, some other upset (GA?) and then also retain AL. Whoever the Dems have as Prez will have to deal with that reality when trying to pass legislation.

            Of course but it's fine to elect a far left President. Whoever is in the office will need to make the compromises necessary to get legislation passed. No duh. I prefer to have a Prez sincerely committed to good policy and significant change. She'll push for the better angels of our nature. If she doesn't get it and she has to settle for a watered down Clinton-era or Obama-era waystation, so be it. But she'll be pushing for Good, not trying to preserve the status quo so David Brooks can keep his Aspen summer home.


            The holier than thou crowd is now perfectly set up to play the "Dems Sold Us Out AGAIN" card when UBI or M4All doesn't make it through Congress without being watered down via political compromises. Then they sit out the 2022 mid-terms, GOP makes gains, and the cycle renews itself.

              Not for us they don't.

              And anyway, blacks voted at the same rate as whites in 2012. There's a lesson in this which everybody but the DNC has figured out.

                Probably so, but I knew Perez was a horrible idea. I just hope whoever comes out at the end can crush the orange idiot.

                    Umm..Kep, your Clinton obsession aside, this is exactly what happened in 2010 and 2014. If you want all the socialist goodies you pine for, that means Dems showing up for every election, not taking the mid-terms off. A lot of good Dems went down in those years in the Senate, seats that we really could have used right now.

                    I'm getting the feeling that at some point in the past you put the moves on Hillary at one of those Beltway Cocktail parties that you attend as a guest of Mrs. Kepler, and she blew you off! Maybe you tried your luck right after the Lewinsky scandal?

                        No one has earned a spot on the "should be there but won't" list. The top 4 candidates give you everything you need to choose from and everybody else is either a one issue candidate, a loon, or has failed to catch on thus far.
