More conservative free market semi-skeptics. For all the conventional wisdom about the Democrats needing a centrist to appeal to soft Republican voters, I think someone like Warren and Sanders could grab a decent chunk of conservative voters, assuming they can be persuaded to think about their immediate economic interests rather than their cultural aversion to liberalism. https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/ ... -orthodoxy

Thanks. I just threw up my lunch. (No offense to the guy on the bottom. I'm sure he's lovely).
That reminds of around ten years ago, when a former MP who was kicked out of the Conservative Party for being too overtly racist launched an independent campaign. His announcement/press conference was at around 8 am and he was, politely speaking, disheveled. Enough so that a reporter asked him, "Are you drunk right now?" (He didn't win the election.)

Not that any of this is likely to mean anything, but when was the last time a sitting president had this many (3) challengers? Bush Sr. had Pat Robertson, Carter had Ted Kennedy, Ford had Reagan, and LBJ had McCarthy and RFK.
