    My conservative pals like @baseballcrank think I'm giving a pass to Warren and others. I'm not. I'm saying: Because Warren or other likely Dem nominees are (a) not emotionally unstable and (b) not colluding with enemy foreign powers, I will vote for her or any of them. /1

        I have reached the point where my requirement for a president is "not dangerously unstable" and "not in bed with a hostile foreign power." You'd think that would be easy to find, but no, not in the GOP. So Dems, if you pass those two tests, your nominee has my vote. /2

        Yes, I get it, that means I will be voting to get rid of Trump by voting for some nominee who might be trying to institute a national allotment to wear waffles as underwear or something. I get it. They'll have dumb policies. Really dumb. But not "unstable" and "colluding." /3

        I don't even care that Trump is a bad person. (Well, I don't care enough to make a difference.) Lots of POTUSes have been bad people. - Not emotionally unhinged - Not in bed with enemy foreign powers. That's it. That's my line. Biden? Fine? Warren? Sure. Harris. Okay. /4

        I am not going to pretend that there is *any* policy important enough to me to put up with a man who is dangerously irrational and who has signaled that he will continue to take help from an enemy while attacking our own IC and LE communities. Nope. /5

        I'm sure I'll be squicked out by whoever the Dems pick for jobs like AG. But not as much as I am by Barr, Mnuchin, and the rest of these throne-sniffing courtiers. So, there it is. Warren can threaten to tax used kitty litter for all I care. Not unstable, not colluding. Done. /6x

        C) they’re constrained by the antimajoritarian senate so will have far less sweeping policy impact than their campaign press releases as should be obvious to any serious student of American politics

        If you vote for the same Republicans you are still voting for Putin.

        Valid. And I would vote for Warren over Trump. But Warren is continuing to disappoint.

        Also, their objectionable policies will have to get through Congress, which limits the potential damage they can do do as President
