Wait, so this article suggests that calling republican senators old white men is the same as Trump calling Mexicans rapists and criminals?
It comes as no surprise that the author of lobster's linked article has also written in favor of arranged marriages.

Geezer is right. I'm no longer a left or right person, and I no longer care what others think of what I believe. Simply pointing out what should be obvious with Biden (but isn't on here). If Biden is the one, Trump is going to run away with this thing. And Trump has been a disappointment overall in my eyes, but he has done some good things (which few on here will be honest about). Trump hasn't been anti-war like many of us hoped he would. And Trump has been very dishonest about the economy (which is on the brink of another major recession). The only two people I will vote for on the left are Andrew Yang or Tulsi Gabbard. Tulsi is the only one who gets that we need to get ALL our soldiers out of the Middle East. That's why I will vote for her. I don't think many of you realize how big of a problem our military is causing overseas. We need to bring them back here and focus on our problems.

soo when you say focus on our problems, are you referring to the Mexican immigrants, or the old white men?

The article is absurd. It complains about painting one side with a broad brush and then paints the other side with a broad brush. It would be edited out of a high school newspaper due to poor execution.

If Warren wins the nomination there will be lots of disappointment in 2020.

The system isn't working. A responsible candidate can't win a primary these days. Unless you're "cool" enough like Obama to the point where your supporters just project their ideas on the candidate rather than actually listening to them.

NRA meltdown has Trump campaign sweating
Republicans worry that the NRA and two other groups that have long formed the core of their electoral infrastructure will be effectively on the sidelines.
The National Rifle Association aired an avalanche of TV ads and pushed its 5 million-plus members to the polls for Donald Trump in 2016, propelling him in the Rust Belt states that delivered him the presidency.
Now, the gun rights group is in total meltdown — and senior Republicans and Trump 2020 officials are alarmed.
In recent weeks, the NRA has seen everything from a failed coup attempt to the departure of its longtime political architect to embarrassing tales of self-dealing by top leaders. The turmoil is fueling fears that the organization will be profoundly diminished heading into the election, leaving the Republican Party with a gaping hole in its political machinery.
With the Chamber of Commerce and Koch political network withdrawing from their once-dominant roles in electing conservatives, Republicans worry that three organizations that have long formed the core of their electoral infrastructure will be effectively on the sidelines.
The predicament has so troubled some Republicans that they are calling on the famously secretive NRA to address its 2020 plans. Within the past week, senators have privately expressed concerns about the group to National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Todd Young.
“No organization has been more important to conservative voter education and engagement than the NRA. We all hope they’re able to mount the kind of effort in the 2020 cycle they have in the past,” said Gregg Keller, a former American Conservative Union executive director. “But in case they can’t, given their current situation, I hope they’re being forthright about that within the movement so others can pick up the slack.”

Biden’s Iowa support crumbles in new poll
As Joe Biden lands in Iowa for two days of events, he’s confronting signs of crumbling support in the first-in-the-nation caucus state: A new survey shows he’s plummeted 20 percentage points since September.
A Focus on Rural America poll released Wednesday suggests the ground has shifted significantly over the past several months, with Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and Biden currently clustered together at the top: Warren had 20 percent, Harris at 18 percent and Biden 17 percent...

Pete Buttigieg rebukes man at July 4th event: 'Racism has no place in American politics'
Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg rebuked a man at an Iowa July Fourth barbecue for suggesting that Buttigieg "just tell the black people of South Bend to stop committing crime and doing drugs."
"Sir, I think that racism is not going to help us get out of this," the South Bend, Indiana, mayor told David Begley, of Omaha, Nebraska. "The fact that a black person is four times as likely as a white person to be incarcerated for the exact same crime is evidence there's systemic racism. It is evidence of systemic racism, and with all due respect, sir, racism makes it harder for good police officers to do their job too."
He added, "When black people and white people are treated the same by the criminal justice system, it will be easier for white people and black people to live in this country and it will be easier for law enforcement to do their job. But racism has no place in American politics or in American law enforcement."
The exchange happened at the Carroll County Democrats 4th of July BBQ in Carroll, Iowa.
"He dismissed me as a racist, which I resent," Begley told CNN in an interview afterward.

Elizabeth Warren Triples Her First-Quarter Haul, Outraises Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) saw a massive fundraising surge in the last three months, lending further credence to her status as a frontrunner among a large 2020 presidential field.
In an email shared with supporters on Monday afternoon, Warren's campaign manager Roger Lau said that in the second quarter of the year, the Massachusetts Democrat raised more than $19.1 million from more than 384,000 people making more than 683,000 donations. The average contribution was $28 and, according to the campaign, more than 80 percent of second-quarter donors were first-time givers.
That haul represents an enormous increase from Warren’s first-quarter fundraising—which, early on, raised doubts about whether her policy-centric campaign would resonate with voters. In the first quarter, Warren’s campaign said she raised more than $6 million, somewhat quieting those early concerns, especially as more than $1.4 million of that came in during the last week of the quarter. Though, simultaneously, the campaign spent $5.2 million, in part on building up a large staffing operation in the early voting states.
...Warren’s second-quarter numbers beat out both Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), another competitor who has rejected high-dollar fundraisers, and Kamala Harris (D-CA), whose performance in the first Democratic debate has helped propel her poll numbers upward...
