Hi Aimiam,
Interesting article here.
I actually agree with the NYT that if the Democrat nominee is too far to the
left, that will help Trump win given the quirks of the electoral college. I
love Warren and am proud to call her my senator; But if she insts upon
taking away the private health insurance of millions of Americans, she'll
have a tough time winning the general election in 2020. IF I were Warren,
and I won the nomination, I'd admit that while I believe in Medicare for
all, I don't expect to get it passed in Congress at this time and will be
pushing for the intrim step of a public option. Hopefully, this will
eventually lead to a single payer plan. I also believe that she can keep
pushing for her wealth tax which is very popular now.
I took a look at warren's numbers on medicare for all and they are extremely
optimistic. If she does get nominated, she should pick Mayor Pete as her VP.
If Pete wins, he should choose Warren as his VP. IF Biden is nominated, then
we'll be stuck with four more years of Trump as the same voters who stayed
home for HRC will stay home for Biden.
