Probably right. I had no idea who Obama was in January 2007.i think the next 12-18 months will give us an idea as to who may have a shot.

I don't think Warren has a real shot at the Dem nomination. Idk about everyone else but the way she handled the Native American thing really bothered me.looks like a list that favors Trump. If yall really think folks like Warren has a shot then yall are fooling yall's self.
I still thinking a candidate closer to the middle has a far better chance than one that has totally sold their soul to the left. Someone like Obama.i think the next 12-18 months will give us an idea as to who may have a shot.
Agreed, that is a legitimate concern.I still thinking a candidate closer to the middle has a far better chance than one that has totally sold their soul to the left. Someone like Obama.
To beat Trump you need to throw your ego out of it, and not try to out heel a heel on live tv, but still remain strong with a message. What Jeb and Hillary did was stupid, Trump is a pro at being a reality TV star. I fear Warren believes she can beat him at his own game, and I believe that is why she would get destroyed by Trump despite what polls and social media seems to suggest now.
I tend to have some bias toward Warren myself. I can't quite say why I don't find her to be an attractive candidate. I may be biased myself toward her as a woman and a liberal.I don't think Warren has a real shot at the Dem nomination.

This entire thread is just an academic exercise for most of us as Trump’s chances of carrying Alabama are close to 100%. Anything is possible, but it would have to be some very bizarre circumstances for a Democrat to win here.I tend to have some bias toward Warren myself.

Before someone does thumbs down on her however and criticizes her for claiming American Indian heritage one needs to understand that she is a native of Oklahoma and very clearly could have a Cherokee heritage. She also should be credited for rising from her lower middle class roots in Oklahoma to become a noted attorney and Professor of Law at the University of Texas and Harvard University. I admire that a great deal.
It also appears to be very clear that if a Democratic woman waits for the approval of a group of primarily white males in Alabama to back her campaign for Presidency she would have the proverbial snowballs chance in the infernal regions!
georgia could actually be in play in this next go 'roundThis entire thread is just an academic exercise for most of us as Trump’s chances of carrying Alabama are close to 100%. Anything is possible, but it would have to be some very bizarre circumstances for a Democrat to win here.

Anyone know how much the Shut down is affecting Alabama? Perhaps if our state is particularly affected by it Trump will lose. I doubt it is though. It seems to me life in Montgomery is the same.This entire thread is just an academic exercise for most of us as Trump’s chances of carrying Alabama are close to 100%.

Extensive CG facilities down here. TSA slowdown hurts larger airports more, HUD shutdown is hard to say (although I know a couple of slumlords who will be hurt by not getting that section 8 money, as well as housing developments/apartment complexes, one brand new.)Anyone know how much the Shut down is affecting Alabama?

Believe it or not, there is already a nascent birther movement fomenting over Sen. Harris's candidacy. Challenging that her Jamaican / Indian parents were not citizens when she was born. Or some other preposterous conspiracy theory.Sen Kamala Harris (Calif) --Leaning in her direction; smart and forceful. the right will try to paint her as a wonky left-coast liberal, but I don't think it'll stick. Charmin, thanks for that article--the idea behind the proposal is good, but I'm not sure about the details.
Sen Kirsten Gillibrand (N Y)--Kind of like her, but she strikes me as a bit too opportunistic; partly from the way she got her senate seat, to the way that she led the charge to force Al Franken out of the senate. Looks to see where the wind is blowing before taking action.
Sen Elizabeth Warren (Mass)--I like her, but not as a candidate. like Harris, strong and forceful, but the wow factor isn't there. A great policy wonk, though, which is something that a new democratic administration will desperately need.
Julian Castro (Fmr HUD secretary)--looks very good in comparison to the current HUD secretary, but that's about it.
Rep Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii)--, uh, no.
John Delaney (Fmr MD congressman)- who?
Richard Orjeda (Fmr W V state senator) - who?
Mayor Pete Buttigieg (South Bend) -- the jokes just write themselves on this one.
It's strange. Ted Cruz was born in Canada but I don't remember them getting all upset about that. I wonder what Harris and Obama have in common? :conf3:Believe it or not, there is already a nascent birther movement fomenting over Sen. Harris's candidacy.

And John McCain was born in Panama...It's strange. Ted Cruz was born in Canada but I don't remember them getting all upset about that. I wonder what Harris and Obama have in common? :conf3:
I think it's fueled in part by Trump's idiotic remark about stripping citizenship from such persons by executive order. His core takes such nonsense literally. I guess maybe he thought that the "Trump Court" would change the law for him...Believe it or not, there is already a nascent birther movement fomenting over Sen. Harris's candidacy.
