In reply to the discussion: Rogue donors (wealthy Democratic progressives) NOT ready for Hillary. [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)34. Gives me hope! Thanks for posting!
I like both Elizabeth Warren (time for a woman and a very, very strong personality to boost her campaign) and Bernie Sanders (experience and understands every issue, very fatherly).
If they both run, I will have a tough time choosing between them. If neither of them runs, it would be sad, very sad for our country.
We don't have a lot of income, but we send very small amounts to both candidates. If they both ran, it would be hard to pick which to vote for, but it would bring new issues into our debates and the American public would hear a refreshing point of view for the first time since 1972
