Stephan:   Elizabeth Warren would be my choice for President, but I don't think enough Americans will vote for a woman, so Sanders/Warren. Why do I choose her? Because she thinks factually, speaks in coherent sentences, not bumper sticker copy, and places fostering wellbeing, and not profit, first. If you read her speeches you see actual coherent proposals, laid out in detail. And she is honest and brave as this report lays out. That's what I am looking for in people running for president. And I completely agree with her assessment of the Democrats under Nancy Pelosi. Feckless, disorganized, cowardly are the words that come to my mind.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren accused the U.S. Congress of complicity in President Donald Trump’s continued abuse of power late Friday, after reports surfaced of his alleged attempts to solicit foreign meddling in the 2020 presidential election, and reiterated her demand that Democrats use their majority in the House to pursue impeachment.

    NEWS FLASH: Hillary got nearly 3 million more votes than Trump got. That was the “popular vote,” or as it is called in the rest of the world, the “vote.”

    What are you basing your theory on, if not the fact that a woman got more votes than a man in our most recent presidential election? That is a fact.

    Let’s please work from actual data and not create self-fulfilling prophecies. Especially when we have the opportunity to elect such a wonderful candidate as Warren.

    Please do not sabotage her chances like this. It makes you part of the problem, not part of the solution.

    I agree with your choice of Sanders/Warren for President and Vice-President, Stephan. I believe that is what it will take to defeat Trump, and reestablish decency in our country, as well as remove some of the bad things Trump has done to destroy our destroy our country on many issues as well as our standing in the world.
