    Oh, ouch.  Man, I respect your opinion and we all have them, but to me Westeberg is never "the wrong Paul".  Watch it there buddy, I'm a fanatic!

    I hope someone is keeping track of how many times it's been posted to stop talking about each other and talk about the topic. THE TOPIC is Democratic Candidates in this thread. We've reached the point where time-outs or bans are the thin ice EVERYONE is walking on. Don't do this.

    Word is that Biden is going to do an aggressive speech at Trump.  4 townhalls after that.  It's time for him to get out there.  Let's see what happens.

    I'm guessing I elicited this reminder.  Sorry, boss!

    So on topic- who do you all see as the current Dem front-runner?  I don't trust the polls.  Do we have a front runner yet?

    If you don't trust the polls, even if they all tell the same story,  then how can one answer your question? There will be no frontrunner until New Hampshire next January.

    Well, to start with, M, I trust you more than the polls.

    Say, how about we forget all of the above and put Jon Stewart in there.  Now there's a guy who will get some shit done!

    Who do you think will be able to pull this line after the first debate, and rise up from the 0-2% tier?

    For some, I suppose. 

    We got a book in the other day (wish I could remember the name and title) written by a woman who is pushing the idea that no one should vote for a while male no matter how qualified he may be. 

    Not as radical, but along the same lines, we had a woman who was a first year student in the Human Services course for which I was program assistant who stood up in class and said, "I think we need to get rid of all men in this world".  The head prof (who is a woman) told me after class, "I don't think this one is going to be in this program for long."  The kind of statement that 1st year student made does the women's movement far more harm than good.

    I've seen some other articles and such that say all men should drop out of the D race..  that's insanity.  Does that really serve justice to women?  To argue that they can't beat a man in politics so all men need to exit?  I would think it would be an insulting argument to women.

    Key stats...Trump won men and whites easily last time out.  

    Biden’s double-digit lead over Trump is largely driven by the gender gap. The former vice president edges Trump 47 percent to 46 among men. But among women, Biden leads by 26 points, 60 to 34.

    Similarly, white voters are split evenly between the two, with Trump at 47 percent and Biden at 46. But Biden leads 85 to 12 among black voters and 58 to 33 among Hispanics.

    Both candidates surpass 90 percent support from within their own parties, but independents break for Biden by a 58 to 28 margin.

    It’ll tighten a ton between now and November 2020. It’ll also be interesting to see who of the 5 front runners stick around. Look for Bernie bros to be hurt again and attempts to have them stay home or vote Indy.
