part of his brand that has been positive. really took of the gloves this week with ted cruz. could be a sign of nervousness. it could have been their plan to close negative in the end. if you ve gone this far going positive, you would like to avoid going negative if you can. you joked des moines. a lot of people think this guy s name, if he wins, he s the nomin nominee. if he loses, he may be the democratic nominee. he says he s going to serve his full six-year term. so did a guy named barack obama when he was running for senate. he just kind of has this it factor a lot of democrats don t have these days. i think it s a sign so many people are excited about this guy who all the polls say is about to lose when they ve got 30 candidates running for president already and they re instead getting excited about this guy. they re not falling in love with the rest of the 2020 field right now. 19 more days to keep an eye on ways happhat s happening.
