Interesting today. Beto talking about how he needs money more than ever now that Biden is in the race,

Bernie - there's only one Bernie to save the day and the establishment is all against us.

Then there was Kamala Harris - my friend Joe Biden has entered the race. Great the more the merrier, I look forward to debating the issues.

Now that is smart and appeals to me. I think a Biden/Harris ticket would be great. I would rather she was the presidential candidate but I think Biden has a much better chance to beat Trump, but the two of them together would be great. I liked Biden's video. I think he can go for the jugular with Trump but still have something to offer beyond just negativity.

It's very likely that the emails were written by staff, but they are coming from the campaigns and represent the candidates. Two of them sounded like they were coming from small-minded, insecure people (and Bernie always thinks he's such a special snowflake). Kamala sounded confident and classy.

I'm impressed by Harris, too. No, I don't think her terrible choices while she was DA disqualify her. I'm far more impressed by Elizabeth Warren and her dazzling array of specific plans. No, I don't care that she made a serious misstep by claiming Native American ancestry.

My fantasy ticket would be Warren/Harris. Yup, it's a fantasy, but I'll be unhappy if neither of those women ultimately end up on the 2020 Dem ticket.

I like Warren too, but I don't think she can win.

But yeah Warren and Harris would be awesome.
