    Ensuring people have the same protections and rights under the law does not strike me as "promotion of homosexual values and culture" (whatever the hell that means). Tell us, Mojo, what are homosexual values and culture?

    Tune into Joe Biden and let him explain. Apparently this is Biden's number one legislative priority as the Democrat's leading candidate to be their presidential nominee in 2020.

    You brought it up, not Joe Biden. Explain yourself.

    It would be neat if they seeded these candidates and had them fight through a bracket.
    1. Biden vs 16. Swalwell
    2. Sanders vs 15. NY Mayor
    Etc...

    Interesting approach to the poll... and Harris seems to be hanging with the leaders. Still seems that Klobuchar needs to gain attention.

    Elizabeth Warren is gonna be Biden's biggest rival.

    she is growing on me as I listen to her actual process plans, I am not on board with everything but she actually has a plan to pay for the stuff she proposes.

    i could see some of Trumps voters liking her populist message.

    She would make a great running mate for Biden.

    Warren will not be the nominee for the Democrats, although it would make me extremely happy if I turned out to be wrong about that.

    She could possibly be a VP nominee, but not for Biden. She is too old and too white for the Democrats this time around. Also, she carries almost as much excess personal baggage with her as Joe Biden does.

    Biden won't make it far enough to have a rival. We're basically in the 1st inning of the game (if not the pre-game warmups). Biden will get demolished in Iowa and New Hampshire and that will be that.

    Too early to tell, but he will go much further than Biden.

    Biden really isn't all that great of a candidate. The idea of embracing him as the nominee for the Democrats strikes me as being about as advisable as the Rockets making Jeremy Lin the face of the Rockets franchise, as they started to do back in the summer of 2012.

    Of course that did not last long, and the Rockets soon afterwards brought in James Harden and Dwight Howard to lead the team, with Lin coming in off of the bench. But to be fair, the Rockets really did not appear to have a better choice at the time they signed Lin, which also seems to be the situation here with Joe Biden as the frontrunner for the Democrats.

    We could also replace the name Elizabeth Warren in in all the places above that the name Joe Biden is used, and the only reason it would not work is that Elizabeth Warren is not the frontrunner of this list and never has been a threat to become so. And in truth, she is not politically speaking even as strong as Jeremy Lin, who at least did have a pretty impressive run with the Knicks for a while.

    Of course Bernie has problems too, but the guy has some spunk and looks like a force to be reckoned with, which currently none of the other candidates do, aside from Joe Biden, as discussed above.

    Is there nobody else? Are the cubards so bare that this is all there is? I keep looking around wondering if there is anybody that has been missed.
