In reply to the discussion: Why Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren Will Win the Presidency with Robert Reich [View all]InAbLuEsTaTe
(24,144 posts)grouped together since about early 2014, or soon after Bernie started seriously talking about running for the 2016 Presidential nomination - can't remember the exact date - but, yes, for a VERY LONG TIME. They just seem to be political and idealogical "soul mates," complimenting each other very well on most progressive issues, although I do wish they came out of different parts of the country, rather than both being Senators from the Northeast... though, perhaps, that's why they align so well. TBH, however, I seriously don't think it really matters much anymore, as it once did.
Bernie and Elizabeth also compliment each other very well in terms of personality and temperament... and it helps tremendously that Elizabeth is, perhaps, the most COMPETENT female candidate - notice, I didn't say most QUALIFIED, as that distinction belongs to Hillary - to EVER run for President.
In answer to your other question, as I've stated many times, Bernie is my #1 preference, although I could EASILY throw my support over to Elizabeth for President if that's the will of primary voters and caucus goers... TOGETHER, however, I truly believe they are UNSTOPPABLE, and as I've predicted for all these years, that's EXACTLY what I see happening. I see Joe fading, just as he did in the previous two primary contests he lost in 1988 and 2008. Indeed, together, Bernie and Elizabeth have the best chance of rallying the base, bringing in lots of new voters - especially young ones and those who've never voted before - and uniting our Party following their nomination in a way that will handily defeat that "tRumpster fire" occupying our White House and his RethugliKKKon henchmen in the General Election.
Just remember where you heard it first!!
Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!
