Of course it is. But it would disingenuous to say that an air strike is the same as a ground invasion.

Two things can be true:

1) The Iraq policies of both the Clinton and Dubya administrations were humanitarian disasters.
2) Dubya's Iraq policy was more of a humanitarian disaster than Clinton's was.

Oh wait, he can't do so in PA until 2022, and they likely wouldn't want him to run anyway. So we need some other reason to go after this guy.

In response to Bee, maybe someone like her will be an even better candidate than someone like Beto.

My tier 1: Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg

My tier 2: Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Andrew Yang

I don't feel anything for the rest so far. I like Joe Biden but not as a presidential candidate.

If Trump were to win again, could we see upwards of fifty Republican and Democrat candidates in the next election?

I feel like this is the start of a trend...

1. Sanders
2. Warren
3. Gillibrand (huge drop-off here)
4. Buttigieg (primarily because of his father)
5. Harris

Those are the only five I would even consider doing any get out the vote work for, and really the question for me is between the first two. Beyond that, there's the detestable Mitt Romney Republican crew of Biden, Beto, etc, the single-issue psychos like Moulton, the completely indistinguishable white guys who should merge into one super-candidate (Bullock, Bennett, Swalwell, Hickenlooper, Ryan), and a couple of no-chance weirdos (of which Gravel and Gabbard are by far the best on certain issues). Biden, Booker, and Delaney seem to be the worst right now but that's really anyone's game.

Explain this logic to me. Sanders and Warren have very similar politics. Why does Harris come between them?
