    Don't sleep on Amy K. I think she has a lot going for her, and easily the fewest amount of real "issues"...

    Also, the one advantage she has over the 3 you mention.... she's sort of likeable...

    Nate Silver at 538 - https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/amy-klobuchar-2020-democratic-nomination-kickoff/

    Until (if) Biden gets in the race, shes my favorite...

    Then there is clearly a gun violence emergency. There is a health care emergency, a poverty emergency, a climate emergency, and and homeless emergency.

    I can't wait until a Dem gets into office and declares all of the true emergencies; Then he or she can bypass any nuisance interference from that annoying Congress.

    We can ban guns, feed the hungry, house the homeless, and implement the new green deal, all in a week. Cool!!!

    Who mentioned "check" other than YOU??? I sure didn't.

    TRUMP SAID HE WOULD MAKE MEXICO PAY FOR THE WALL.
    HE REPEATED THAT MEXICO WOULD PAY FOR THE WALL "100%".

    You've been had.

    So basically instead of protecting Americans you want to put them under the jackboot of authoritarian control. At least you are an honest lefty.

    FAR more people are killed in mass murders in the U.S. than are killed by illegals whether they're crossing the border illegally or they're already in the U.S. and have been for decades.

    Yet the bots don't want gun control legislation. How can we take them seriously? We can't. They're just bots.

    I heard a great comment on TV yesterday about him. It was said that if you look at Trump's history you'll see that he is all about destruction. He undermines himself and ends up destroying his own position repeatedly. And he has been working for 2 years to blow himself up with lies and shooting himself in the foot, like "I'm going to declare an emergency. We have no choice!" but a few sentences later it's "I didn't really have to do this. (emergency)".

    I didn't say anything about authoritarian control. It's an emergency! And trump has set the precedent. Now deal with it. ;)

    And in the 19th century, the abolitionists used the slaves as stooges.

    Yep and honestly for a large amount of average voters they don’t know much about politics and it comes down to who has charisma imo. It’s what made guys like JFK Reagan Clinton and Obama successful whereas Nixon Carter Ford Mondale Gore Kerry weren’t

    They just want the votes so they can subvert the United States into a socialist hellhole.

    Everyone knows this, but libs still won't just admit it. At least I'd have a little respect for them if they did

    How, exactly, would that work? What is this "revenue" that doesn't ultimately represent taxpayer money? Go ahead. Try to spin it.

    Probably true.... for all his cluelessness, I can admit Trump has a certain amount of something (until he talks)...

    I like people with personality and humor.... Not saying that they don't have both, but Warren and Harris have done a decent job of hiding it. Booker on a personality factor scores a bit higher, but he also comes off as sort of a tightass to me... Genuine charisma in politics is a strange and rare pairing..

    Amy seems like the genuine article. Of course, it's probable she's not, but she can at least put that face on better than most...

    At this point, it's open for anybody other than Gillibrand in my book... I hold a grudge for a long time...

    From your list, there was nobody more qualified to be Prez with the lamest personality than Albert Gore Jr.... He is a good man with zero charisma.... Too bad...

    what? It seems you believe the US sends some sort of a "bounty" to the Mexican government for each illegal that crosses the border. You're not really THAT nuts, are you?

    I mean we all have fun debating specific policies and such but an average person likely just won’t know. I’m sure to the average person it looks like we here at PF are speaking a foreign language lol. Since they can’t differentiate between policies it comes down to personality and party affiliation. If your a Democrat you aren’t gonna sway a person who votes Republican just because they’re Republican but with a likable centrist democrat you could funnel off a lot of Trump voters. I myself am more a Ben Sasse type Republican and I’ve said it here before.

    I’m not very well versed on Gillibrand I’ve heard not great things but I’ve not done any research. Tulsi Gabbard sorta intrigues me though

    I see your 'Angel Moms' and raise you with Parkland Parents...

    Feel extremely sorry for any parent who has to outlive a child, especially from being murdered...

    I just bail on Gillibrand because she's ALWAYS the first to condemn others without due process.. She was the first to come out against Al Franken and pretty close to the first to come out against Gov Northam (who survived his 2nd week yesterday)...

    Also, I really think the Dems always have a better chance with middle-of-the-country candidates. Where are the last 4 Dem presidents from?? Texas, Georgia, Arkansas, and Illinois...You know they'll run up the score on the West Coast and the Northeast, with a few other random states like, New Mexico, Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois, and Virginia...

    Strictly politically, running somebody from the middle tier of the USA is the strategy to use, which is one of the reasons I'd prefer no Harris, Booker, Bernie, Warren, Bloomberg, or Gillibrand. Not that any of them wouldn't be decent candidates, but they all bring states they don't need.

    Biden's sort of a crossover, having a lot of Penn roots (which D's HAVE to win again). And then there's Beto, who lost to Fu Manchu Cruz. Beto doesn't have enough of a background for my taste.

    I’ll raise you progressive policy that prevented the kid from being arrested long before he shot anyone. Liberal controlled School admin, FBI and ultimately police that ignored warning after warning because they didn’t want to get sued by progressive groups labeleing the kid crazy. Guns don’t shoot themselves. And besides. Every illegal entrant is preventable. A citizen obtaining a gun is infinitely more difficult to prevent. Nearly impossible.

    It’s apples and oranges really. You can’t compare citizens legally allowed to be here committing crimes with illegals committing those same crimes. Unless, you want to admit how preventable deaths are at the hands of illegals.
