Criteria for voting in our primary.

Health care, the opioid epidemic, abortion, education are all very important issues. None of them will matter one iota if Trump wins. My #1 criteria for our nominee is that he/she needs to be as tough as nails, needs to be able to stand toe to toe with Trump and blacken his eye.

I listened to Mayor Pete yesterday. He called Trump a draft dodger. He stated that he faked a disability to get out of serving in Vietnam. He said that because of Trump's status and wealth some poor person had to take Trump's place in Vietnam.

This is what we should be hearing from our candidates for president. Biden, Warren, Harris are tapping Trump on the nose but mayor Pete just busted Trump's chops. Mayor Pete knows how to communicate, he is smooth, he just moved up to the top of my list.

Didn't see very much M$M coverage of mayor Pete's beat down of Trump, which is expected. I expect that Pete is not finished bashing Trump.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
