I reserve judgment until I hear better clarity on just what toughness translates to in her case. Tough but fair is one thing, and that is good. Brow-beating as a standard "management tactic, no thank you. The POTUS isn't just running an administration; he or she is setting an example for the nation, and it had better be a civil one.

Plus, I am not opposed to a centrist per se. But I think the pulse of the times is split on centrist vs progressive, and I honestly worry that of the two, progressives stand to excite the country better. I am torn on this one. At the moment, I am most excited by Kamala Harris, followed by Cory Booker. Both seem to me like they are touting mixtures of centrist and progressive positions, and that might stand us a better chance of uniting not only Dems with independents, but also a fractured Dem party itself. This may be a time when the eventual POTUS nominee's pick of running mate is more importantant than ever. I also expect and virtually demand that a woman had better be on the ticket in one spot or the other. It is about fucking time.

Amy Klobuchar is a centerist which may be more acceptable to a wide audience. Of the initial group I am favoring Elizabeth Warren because of her consumer protection work.

Maybe but we don't need nasty either win at any cost not good

i love her, but i'm biased because i like in MN, but i keep here contradicting reports on whether she's a viable option. only time will tell

I don't always agree with Bill, but he certainly gets people talking. I never miss his show!
