I mean, she'd at least be younger than Trump
Yeah even if they run they would have a big dissadvantage
maybe Booker and Harris can play their youth as a strength
since they're FUCKING WHITE MALES!!!!
(yes I know Sanders sorta isn't white)
@Walter Johnson I mean, I thought Trump and Hillary were borderline too old
I honestly want more Gen X'ers and Millennials
Alaska: 16 delegates
Arizona: 36 delegates
Democrats Abroad: 11 delegates
Hawaii: 19 delegates
Idaho: 20 delegates
Utah: 29 delegates
Washington: 77 delegates
Wisconsin: 55 delegates
Wyoming: 9 delegates
ok, let me tally the numbers so far
ok so Warren has 492 delegates after Super Tuesday, and is the frontrunner by that point. Let me do more math
ok, so after all those states, the final count for warren is 1224 delegates
now..." An extra 716 unpledged delegates (712 votes) or "superdelegates", including party leaders and elected officials, were appointed by the party leadership independently of the primaries' electoral process."
I'm not sure how many of those Warren would get
New York: 120 delegates
Connecticut: 29 delegates
Delaware: 11 delegates
Maryland: 39 delegates
Pennsylvania: 95 delegates
Rhode Island: 15 delegates
Indiana: 47 delegates
Guam: 5 delegates
West Virginia: 20 delegates
Kentucky:30 delegates
Oregon: 40 delegates
so after all that, Warren is at 1675. If you add the 716 superdelegates on top of that, she's over the edge. Maybe they support her to avoid another 2016
Wew
Virgin Islands: 1 delegate
Puerto Rico: 27 delegates
California: 218 delegates
Montana: 13 delegates
New Jersey: 51 delegates
New Mexico: 20 delegates
North Dakota: 15 delegates
South Dakota: 12 delegates
Washington DC: 0 delegates
so...the total Pledged Delegates for Warren would be around 2032, which is shy of the 2,382 delegate votes needed to win by 350. It's possible that enough superdelegates would support her though
I think it boils down to the candidates who aren't Warren splitting the vote amongst themselves
@Walter Johnson really? interesting
well, that could mean Warren wins even more pledged delegates then
my main argument is: How would voters distinguish between Corey Booker, Kamala Harris, Julian Castro, and Kirsten Gillibrand?
their race and gender
they all seem to be more or less clones of each other, whose only differences are along ethnic and gender lines
yeah, exactly
now...honestly, I haven't paid too much attention to Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris views isn't that different Warren's though
she's more along the lines of a corporate Democrat like Hillary right? I might be wrong
yeah
that's the thing
Not really
She's like Warren
Yeah, Harris is known for attempting to prosecute Project Veritas Action I'm pretty sure.
According to Warren, she's not going to run in 2020 but that could change.
I haven't even listened to Harris speak
what are her public speaking skills like
