How a candidate runs his or her campaign shows how they will run the government..

That is not an original from me but something I read when President Obama was running.. and it is true.. when I sat and reflected on previous campaigns that took the Presidency.. sure enough.. that is how they ended running the government during their tenure.. and look what a hellacious mess the Trump presidency has been .. and it was all predicted in how he ran his campaign..


With all that being said.. at the point in time in our primary caucus season.. no one is doing it better than VP Joe Biden.. he has made all the right moves... sometimes much to the chagrin of the chattering classes and posters..

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

Mayor Pete in this regard -- it obviously comes naturally for him -- and Kamala Harris is not far behind in my book. I will gladly vote for any of them if they are our nominee. I would also be comfortable with Biden, but not quite so giddy.

Warren has bested Trump and taken over that wing of the party.. she also is wonder.. and Kamela Harris is doing great also.. the Top 4 on DU.. that is where the next President is going to come from and I could happily support any of them.. of the ones that do not make it.. you will see our next Supreme Court judges.. and Secretaries of State.. etc... we have a power house and they will blow the socks off the Torrid Turnip.
