If the squad is out in Iowa, you can assume he loses. The squad can be a positive force in more urban areas, but Iowa is not that … even in the cities.
Eric--I wonder who the best surrogates for Sanders would be there.
David--At this point, it has to be someone not specifically tied to the coasts. If the squad was a bit less aggressive, they would be a good choice, but they are. In-your-face isn't a good model for the Midwest -- outside of places like Detroit, Chicago or St. Louis. Iowa is none of those.
-- do the surrogates have 2 be politicians? Danny De Vito comes 2 mind. Do they like Taxi reruns in IA? :
I still prefer female surrogates 2 put that sexism bs 2 rest. How about Susan Sarandon? Or mebbe Janet from Rocky Horror- is 2 much 4 lA

-- thanx Eric. I've had red flags about EWW (luv that) ever since she appeared on the scene some 10-12 years ago but could never put my feelings in words. U did just that
Eric--Sanders can govern a whole lot better than Trump can, that's for sure.
--that ain't saying much but yeah
Eric--Maryposa made an excellent post.
-- thanx Eric :
Eric-- in fact, yes, Sanders can govern. He will fight for what he knows is right. But he knows clearly and has said that he would not be a dictator, or try to be. He does know how to work with others in the Senate. Hillary is wrong on that. As feisty as he can be as a fighter for justice, he is a gentleman, not an egotist. He genuinely cares, and this comes through.
-- yup
Eric-- but Democrats could win in 2024 if their candidate's horoscope score is much higher than the Republican's. Or perhaps a 3rd Party will emerge and win.
-- that is possible. It is a 4T. The repugs emerged during the Civil War 4T. The 1 u say this 4T most resembles

Quote: David---And what part of EW's record bother you? Is it the GOP period, or something more recent? If it's the former, then keep in mind the rule of converts: they're among the most committed.
Eric-- One thing is clear. EW is not the candidate who can beat Trump. If you want the good rather than the perfect to win, then Sanders is the guy, not the gal Elizabeth (aka Crusader Rabbit). She just doesn't have it. Since she unloaded on Bernie with her whiny, bitchy remark "Did you call me a liar on national TV?" she has been falling in the polls. She revealed her weakness. For those who like Warren's policies that are not quite perfectly progressive, meaning she might have a better chance than Sanders the "perfect" progressive, consider the fact that Sanders has the candidate skills necessary to beat the Drump. He is an inspiring speaker who gets people behind him. He is strong and energetic, and very straightforward in his care for the people. He means what he says and says what he means. This is attractive to voters, while the wonky and pedantic Warren is not.
