And, BTW, Tulsi Gabbard pretty much ended any chance, however remote, she had at the presidency this morning when she completely bombed on Morning Joe when asked whether Assad was an enemy/adversary of the United States. Warren is done too.

Would love to see a Biden/Kamala ticket...

feel like it has the best shot at beating Trump...

Do not want Biden, there are plenty of other people that can beat Trump.

Feel like Biden could actually lose to him. He would be the oldest person ever to be President and there would be a subset of voters that would never vote for someone who would be over 80 during his term in the white house.

God knows I'm not the target audience for the Dem primary, but she seems really smart and capable and normal and from the Midwest and while too progressive for me, not out of the mainstream and generally someone who can beat the everloving #$!&@ out of Trump.

This is not unexpected news but is welcome nonetheless. I really like Klobuchar, for all the reasons you mentioned. Unless something completely unforeseen happens, I would vote for her in a NY minute.

Here's the big question, JH, as you may be in the same position as many learned, thoughtful Rs. Assuming it is Trump vs. Klobuchar, do you actually vote D or do you just sit it out?

I live in DC, so my vote could not matter less. I'm not voting for Trump no matter who the Democrats nominate. Have a hard time imagining I'll vote for the Democrat either, but we'll see how the campaign goes. I didn't vote in 2016, but sort of like the idea of adding my tally to a Libertarian nominee or Schultz if he runs or whoever looks most likely to see if they could finish ahead of Trump in DC.

Probably true a subset wouldn't, but a woman won the popular vote

Anyone who thinks Warren is done is insane. This is a continuation of a non-issue.

Just released a statement on Twitter. Claims to have dressed as rapper Kurtis Blow at a party in 1980.

This is all because of the late term abortion bill which is nuts. If Northam didn’t describe what would happen as clinically as he did then a right wing group wouldn’t have gotten the picture from a classmate who was offended by his defense of the bill.

Dominoes man.

It’s now come out that in a meeting on Monday Fairfax said “fuck that bitch” in regards to accuser. This per NBCNews.

I understand it’s an emotional thing to be put through but you’re supposed to be smarter than that.

Some stones on Herring to call for Northam to resign while knowing this was in his own past as well

would it be a bad idea for Halloween to go in blackface as Fairfax and grope women as they walk by?

Really depends on geography.

As in where you grope?

It's a purposeful misunderstanding of abortion to have people make emotional decisions when voting

Just read an interesting Q&A on that very topic:

Why think that Warren is done? She has not even announced formally, but she cannot manage to get out in front of this "Indian American" thing, and her continuous tripping over it is only furthered by her general ineptitude in dealing with the inevitable trolling. She gets bashed with racist talk and just flounders. Perhaps she should give Virginia state office a try.

Also, she seems a little hypocritical, but then again we have not seen her in Native American garb just yet.

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren: “These racist images are deeply disturbing. Hatred and discrimination have no place in our country and must not be tolerated, especially from our leaders – Republican or Democrat. Northam must resign.”
