I'm basically supporting Elizabeth Warren at this point. I don't buy into the so-called electability issue. John Kerry and Hillary Clinton were supposed to be electable. I'm not afraid to run someone with firm convictions and someone that will take the fight right to Trump. I have no doubt she'll be able to throw it back to Trump.

As for her Senate seat, I hope the legislature in Massachusetts will change the law once again and require the temporary vacancy be filled by someone of the same party.

Electability has always been a fundamentally stupid argument.

I remember after Mike Castle lost the Republican Senate primary in 2010, you had Dick Morris going around saying that since O'Donnell beat him in the primary, she'd do just as well if not better than he did in the general.

That said, I'm not as concerned about Warren's electability as I was a few months ago. I think I would vote for her in the primary if I was motivated to turnout to vote for it, but I honestly don't care too much for any of the candidates running. I am just planning on voting for whoever the Democratic nominee is in November and for Democrats for Congress and state legislature. Fortunately, I live right in the heart of two swing seats at the federal and state level, so it'll actually be worth showing up for that.

I’ve said at least five times on here that a hypothetical Governor Gillum would be the best VP choice Warren could make. But alas, he decided to phone in the last month of the race on the basis of favorable September polls

Why is the Democratic Party so obsessed with these two losers?

Abrams lost.  Gillum lost.  They both lost winnable elections in a wave year.  They're welcome to try again next cycle.  But I wouldn't even say their political skills are above average, much less the prodigy-level talent they would need to make a jump from local politics to the White House even remotely justifiable.

Abrams' performance was actually extremely impressive though. Gillum's...was not.

Yeah, there’s no doubt in my mind that’s Gillum would have won if he had ran the kind of race Abrams did

People in here are so delusional talking about Obama won Florida and gimme races to slag off Abrams and Gillium. Exactly how many black governors have been elected in this country?

The answer is only two.

Douglas Wilder - Virginia
Deval Patrick - Massachusetts

Black candidates winning statewide office especially in the south has always been an uphill climb. To put it into perspective how ridiculous this fact is, two Indian Americans have been elected governor in southern states. Just think about that.



Hardly anyone here is slagging off Abrams. Her performance was indeed impressive. It's Gillum who had no excuse for losing in Florida with the environment that 2018 was in.

Her handling of this healthcare plan and the distracting sideshow with the billionaire feuds has really lowered my confidence in her ability to beat Trump
