    Sadly, Hillary Clinton has become the Al Smith of our time, with Democrats over-applying the lessons of 2016 to shy away from presidential candidates.https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1123207946945613825 …

    To understand Bidenmentum, you've got to have some of the conversations I had yesterday: Middle-aged women explaining that 2016 showed that voters won't elect a female president, so they've got to be strategic.

        Smith got 41% of the popular vote so I'm not seeing this comparison as particularly valid. Also, the Democrats ran FDR in 1932 and Joe Biden is no freakin' FDR.

        If you can get swing voters to get super excited about Warren I would be impressed. Seriously, this is what I want to happen. So far: no dice. Or...few dice anyway.

        Hillary had that kind of support in 2008.

        If Hillary Clinton was first in the polls and lost, we need to nominate someone who is last in the polls this time! WINNING!
