But yeah, those lame republicans....

Yeah well, that might have worked back in the Days of Debbie but it's not going to work this time around, at least not according to Cenk Uygur, who was one of two very progressive pundits who shocked the world when they said Trump would win 2016.
The other progressive to say that was Michael Moore.
They both got laughed at when they announced their predictions.

Well, this time around, Cenk says:

Brace for impact, Washington. Progressives are going to win.

Quote
In 2016, I warned that Donald Trump could win. Right after that year’s Democratic National Convention, with Hillary Clinton peaking in the polls, I made that prediction on ABC News’s “This Week.” Several other panelists, all members of the Washington establishment, laughed. But I stuck with my view, and I told our audience on “The Young Turks” on election night: Buckle up, and brace for impact. Trump is going to be president.

Now, I have another prediction for the Washington establishment. Brace for impact: Progressives are going to win.


The only problem I have is, this is premature and both Cenk AND Moore should put a sock in it because it invites complacency and voter laziness again, which we cannot afford. We have a Senate to overturn as well keeping the House, in addition to landsliding a POTUS to the WH.

NOBODY should predict a Warren victory, but it gives you a chance to ponder the possibilities.
I agree. Warren in fact might be the Democratic Candidate which does the worst against Trump. It's way to early to give much credence in these head to head polls. But they do give you an idea where things stand today.

Emerson has Trump and Warren tied today, IBD/TIPP has Warren ahead of Trump by 3, within the margin of error.

I bring this up because Warren seems very weak among independents. So too was Hillary in 2016. As Hillary proved, you can be loved by your party, but if that love isn't transferred some to the independent voter, all that love within a party means little. At least in the general election.

Right now Warren is a minus 16 among independents when it comes to favorable/unfavorable's. Trump is at a minus 19. Slight advantage to Warren.

For me personally, what this means is Warren would have one of the hardest times beating Trump among all the different Democratic candidates. That is as of today which these things change everyday. They're very dynamic. Warren might be 20 points ahead come election day, she also might lose. All we can do is go by the numbers provided today.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
