Mayor Pete is right–the Democrats have been most successful when they have nominated young candidates with an inspiring message of hope and limitless America. Unfortunately for him, he sounds more like Mr. Spock than Barack Obama or JFK. Do any of the other candidates fit the bill?
Ironically, the elderly Elizabeth Warren talks more about big dreams for America than any of the other candidates. She ruins it, however, by bashing billionaires and telling everyone who disagrees with her that they don’t belong in the Democratic Party. The American dream is about innovation and pushing limits for the benefit of society and becoming wealthy in the process, not creating new barriers and celebrating the mediocre society.
In other words, like Bernie Sanders, she believes in the Danish dream, not the American dream.
