dreamland
dreamland's JournalWarren is not my candidate. She's too short-sighted.
I like Warren, I wanted her to be the VP nominee in 2016. She was especially good in her interviews when she went up against the Wall Street conglomerates but thats where it ends.
A few years ago, when she and Bernie made headlines voting down the TPP, I was skeptical. Now 3 years later, we see the effects of this deal and how China has stepped in an reaped the benefits of what was proposed in the pact. Lately, she has been touting a new TPP, one that limits relations based on standards. This is forcing the hand of countries who either will not or cannot afford to, which could complicate trade relations more. This seems to be a case of too little, too late.
The other issues that has made me realize that she is not my nominee choice is Al Franken.
She has openly berated and call for his resignation and had evenly told him privately to do so. This man, had the intelligence and courage to speak up for us, was railroaded with unproven accusations by his fellow senators. To this day, Im still angry that a child-molestor sits on our SC, while a man with a prank sits jobless, his reputation damaged, and without support of his peers.

Yes, hindsight is 20/20, but her short-sightedness means shes not good at playing the long game.
She stands on high ideals, but in this real world we need a player who can see the outcome of their actions.
So its down to Pete or Joe.
