    Good. I like Pete, and he needs to be out there doing more stuff. Not sure about President, but we’ll see.

        For over 30 years, I’ve been saying that I won’t vote for any candidate who doesn’t support M4A, but I’ve broken that pledge in every election. I will support the pro-M4A candidate, but the next Democratic president is going to have the biggest clean-up job of any president in history, and M4A may have to take a backseat to rebuilding the government, and having the second Nuremburg Trials.

          I think he would get smoked in the primaries. His qualifications are mayor of a small town; head of transportation during high profile, toxic train accidents; and part of the administration siding with the train company’s to break the union strike. At this point, he’s a joke.

    He’s not in the race until he declares victory in Iowa.

    This is a candidate I’m not personally interested in, but at least doesn’t make me question the very idea of the party (e.g., Rahm Emanuel, Gavin Newsome).

    Not interested in a McKinsey stooge, and he was ineffective at best as secretary of transportation.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
