Based on Biden's past work, it won't happen even with a Democratic Senate considering what he didn't do in 2010. I don't think people really understand what the "prevailing wisdom" is on this. Perhaps it's easier to attack a caricature of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she still has a tiny shot, but today is do or die. If her supporters do this en masse though, she's probably done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s some other stuff that’s not just endorsing Biden. Like when Biden’s people were trying to get Klobuchar to stay in through Tuesday to prevent Sanders from getting more votes in her home state. Leaning on candidates to get out and put their delegates and support behind Biden. though none of this behavior is new for elections.

None of the candidates will. This is why I think Warren is the only sensible choice in the race because of her proven ability to use the levers of regulation to affect change. That is the primary power the executive has, how they operate the regulatory authority vested in the executive by the legislature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclumber1 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 If Donald Trump can lock kids in cages and make bump stocks illegal via executive fiat, I'm sure the next Democratic president can do all sorts of things that the executive branch shouldn't be doing without Congress's consent.

TwinIon Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I know she basically doesn't have a chance anymore, but I still put in my vote for Warren. She's been the one I've been most impressed by throughout the whole campaign, and I've been a strong supporter of voting for who you want to be President, not who you think will win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of you have a weird view of the Democrats, who think Trump is an aberration and that Republicans will work with them again, to think that they'll push boundaries like Trump.
