The NYT editorial board came out to endorse Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar. They noted Elizabeth as the progressive candidate and Amy as the moderate one.  My pick is Warren!

Me, too! She's our best choice. And yes, of course a progressive woman can win. I see us losing if we go with Biden. We need enthusiasm and Biden just doesn't inspire folks. Klobuchar is so middle of the road. We need massive change, and Amy seems like more of the same. She's ok, Warren is fabulous!

I saw this as well! This seems to fit (regardless of the specific candidate) with the Queen of Wands that I received on the tarot reading last week when I asked about whether a democrat would win the presidency (it was the queen of wands paired with the world).

I loved that the NYT broke with tradition to endorse two candidates, and that laid out quite elegantly why. I've been a Warren supporter, but I do admire Klobuchar, and feel she could be a very good leader as well. It's just kind of exciting to get a well-reasoned article that backs up these two.

Excellent article by the NYTimes editorial board on all of the democratic candidates.  I resonated with so many things they said. I also remembered a vision I had of the positive future when our collective spirits return to new highs. At the top of that rally were two women flashing victory signs. I once felt that Warren would  be president some day, but don't know if this is her time.   I also like Klobuchar and look forward to learning more about her.

I love Elizabeth Warren. Her rags to riches hard work experience along with her intellect is what has grabbed me from the start. Amy Klobuchar rubs me the wrong way, though. She is cold and calculated like Hillary was. There is also something she is hiding. I dont mean that in a criminal way, but something from her past(probably dealing with her father) is suppressed and needs to be dealt with before she can be emotionally free to make sound judgements in every circumstance. Granted I will vote for whomever the Dem candidate is this year, I fear she could also suffer the same fate as Hillary in a general election due to the coldness she expresses publically.

"Congress must act immediately to rein in our lawless Attorney General. Barr should resign or face impeachment. And Congress should use spending power to defund the AG’s authority to interfere with anything that affects Trump, his friends, or his elections."

@triciact She is what America needs, but I don't know if America deserves her yet. She is the real deal. She is smart.  She knows what we need and she is willing to sacrifice to get it. She will not sell out ever.
