    Warren is not 70+ 'for gosh sake!'

    She turned 70 recently, so she is in fact "70+":

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Warren [wikipedia.org]

    Born Elizabeth Ann Herring
    June 22, 1949 (age 70)

    But there is a large health difference between a 70-year-old and a 78-year-old, and women tend to live 2 years longer than men anyway. She basically has a decade on Bernie.

    Well - Garn!
    When will it end?
    Buffalo bob and Claribel clown are still in control!
    But Warren is um, the future?

      You realize that you can write in your own candidate, right? If you, and about 180,000,000 others write in O'Crazio Cortez, you'll really put a whammy on all those old bastards!!

        Every time you call her names you out yourself as a partisan idiot. And in this small community that translates to the more colloquial "village idiot."

          Partisan? WTF is partisan about calling a nutcase a nutcase? That "New Green Deal" thing? You realize that there is not enough money in existence on this earth to pay for all of that? The wealth needed _does_not_exist_. Meaning, we can't even steal it from Saudi Arabia, China, the United Kingdom, the EU, and all of South America. The only way possible we could pay for it, is to be tight with that Nigerian guy who keeps trying to give away money through email contacts, then it would be touch and go.

          Yes Sir, she is ineligible to run in this and the next election. I did not say that she would win, I only indicated that if more than half the population of the country would write her in, it would put a whammy in the process. :^)

          That's part of the same reason I vote third parties. Last time around, I almost believed that one of them might get that magical percentage point so they could get matching funds from the government.

          That is also a reason to like Trump. He's not a political insider, and he has screwed up a whole lot of people's ideas and perceptions. TDS is a fun phenomena, isn't it?

            Definitely, on both sides of the aisle. No worse than ODS though.

    Ah, so you are actually a corporate shill! At least that is my suspicion. You've been a very weird case to figure out, but now I get it.

    Warren is the 2nd version of Hillary. A corporate plant that is probably 90% genuine and 95% being used. They don't want Sanders, the voice of common sense for the average Joe. Biden failed HARD which almost seems like he was put out there on purpose to give Warren someone to contrast against to make her seem more progressive.

    The country is at a breaking point, we can't take another Obama-style false hope.

    Sanders-Warren 2020, she'll make the VP actually mean something.
