If she’s the nominee, the DNC money dries up like a drop of water in the Sahara.


Wishful thinking. If she is the nom Wall Street Dems will hold their noses and give big bucks. It’s all about beating Trump now. And they own Congress, anyway.

How many votes does she thinks she gains by this? I doubt this would sway many independents.

There are hardly any independents left. It’s all about getting your base out to vote.

Yeah, you really want the V.P. candidate you pick as your running mate to be an ethics violator.

I disagree about Wall Street supporting her. The markets have had a run like we have never seen under DJT. They may lean Dem but they're not stupid and they won't vote against their best interests.

Unlike us, here who vote for people that support the issues we believe in, they will vote for whoever keeps the bull market going. Elizabeth Warren would be a complete disaster for the financial markets.

Booker would be a better choice.

He has the same bad ideas, but has pursausive skills.
