In reply to the discussion: Because America Needs an Electoral Left: Why Bernie Sanders Should Enter the Presidential Primaries [View all]brooklynboy49
(287 posts)My first choice is Warren. Sanders is a very, very close second. Primarily because I think Warren would have a credible shot, whereas that scruffy, grey haired SOCIALIST, Sanders, would be dismissed and virtually ignored by the MSM, and that's who most voters pay attention to, not Chris Matthews or Rachel Maddow. I actually think Bernie is left of Warren and a broader range of issues concern him and have concerned him for many, many years. Were it not for the fact that the Republicans and the media are going to tag Bernie a "socialist" and pound home that evil word at every opportunity, causing his premature withdrawal from the primaries, he would be my first choice. I love the guy.
I would fully and enthusiastically support either, I only hope that one or both announce their candidacy. It's time to stop crappin' around with pie in the sky "bipartisanship" and take it to the enemy. And, let's not kid ourselves, we're at war politically. I'd like nothing better than to see a Warren/Cruz contest and let Americans choose the direction in which they want to see the country head, whatever their verdict may be. It's time for a clear choice to be presented to the country and voted upon in 2016. I do not want to see a Clinton/(Jeb) Bush contest where the choice is the evil of two lessers.
