I'm not sure about the service record of the other candidates. There may be more who have served.

I just think it is great that Mayor Pete can make this an issue. He can call out Trump for being more than a pussy-grabber, but for being a pussy.

(My apologies if use of that word in that context offends, but the wording is an intentional affront to Trump, not women. It would be great if the wording were to catch on).

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

When you say that, it is offensive because you are comparing Trump to a woman-specific body part. You are saying that there's something worse than pussy grabbing, and that thing is being a pussy itself. I appreciate your advance apology, which signals that you do realize deep down that it would be offensive. I hope you understand that this would definitely not be the kind of wording many women would want to catch on.

Thanks for listening to my perspective.

This man has the wit, the quick draw of setting the record straight, I've said it before and I'll say it again right here.
The American electorate is idiotic and will not elect a candidate that stutters or blathers platitudes against DT's quick albeit idiotic taunts. We'll end up with the bully president again, the one that gets cheers because he disrupted the class.
DU'ers need to get shaken up to the reality that most americans don't live there anymore--- ahem, reality. (They're all in Trumper-world pretentious science-denial booby-hatch land!!!!)
Do I believe any of the other candidates will stand up effectively to Trump's bullying? Nope.
Do I trust my fellow gay candidate who has a more than ample, locked and loaded ready arsenal of plainly laid out, practiced, noteworthy, undeniable, unassailably firebrand and quite simply silly argument halting certitudes? (not platitudes)
Yes, with implicit belief that Pete can knock Donald for a doozy loop the like's he's never experienced before.

Trump or republicans. His service is too recent; people are still stinging from the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan.

It makes Trump seem so weak, so ineffectual and small. It must drive him more insane than he already is.

Love it. IMO, he has a better chance against trump in 2020 than Biden. His intelligence is unmatched. Both he and Biden have the right approach to campaign - do it on values not specific policies. It’s not a president’s job to legislate. I love Warren but she is running a legislator’s campaign not presidential campaign. If Pets gets the nomination, Stacey Abrams will be the perfect running mate to win over middle America. Harris to be AG. Biden should serve in a cabinet for one term.
