I've finally decided on my candidate--Warren

...OK, I know that the world hasn't exactly been holding its breath for me to choose, OK? But I gave myself to the end of the year to decide. And the decision never became easier. *All* of our people are good choices, especially compared to you-know-who. But in the end, Elizabeth Warren simply has the best chops, as far as I can tell. I like her positions on the issues, I like her speaking style, I like her professorial vibe. I think she can utilize the Bully Pulpit better than any other candidate. And she can beat Trump, very definitely. She's tough, and won't let him run over her. Joe, Bernie, Amy, Pete, all of you--you'd make great Presidents, and if you win the nomination, I'm pulling out all the stops for you. But Elizabeth is my choice...

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

She’s my second choice. Is difficult to decide, really. I’d like to see Biden and Warren on the same ticket. I have reasons to get excited about other candidates as well, and pretty well mirror your enthusiasm.

I even went to Warren for a time before considering again. Bernie has my favorite views, but Warren would also make a dent in the status quo. Wouldn’t hurt to see who rises the most during the early primaries.

Any democratic candidate who gets the nomination is going to be slammed with lies and criticism by the tRump MAGAts, but at least you've chosen one who can think on her feet, and not have to take 2 weeks to think of a come-back!

I hope Elizabeth wins. She's so friggin' smart and strong. And she's totally correct about how the game works.
