There were 72 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question: “Do you believe a woman can win the presidency in 2020? Nearly all the respondents answered in the affirmative, thoough some people questioned the electability of current candidates, and some challenged the suitability of the question.
Although I have not made up my mind on whom to vote for, I do believe Bernie Sanders when he said he never said that. It would be out of character for him to have said it. I feel annoyed with (Warren) for saying this and with news outlets for repeating it as though it were fact. Sounds as though, when you fall in the polls, you pull out a victim card. Ellie Jodoin
