What I, a Warren supporter, will miss about Mayor Pete...

his discussion about his religious belief and how that informs what he does in his life.

I am not a person of faith myself, but I have deep respect for the way Mayor Pete introduced himself: a gay man and a deeply religious man. I deeply respect him and hope to see him go forward in the Democratic Party.

And here, in the same vein, let me remind others of Beau Biden's funeral service which was so moving and so sad I had to turn it off. It was a true test of Biden's faith, I am sure, and I felt that for him.

Two examples of persons of deep faith in my Democratic Party. I am so proud even though I do not share either of their faiths. I grew up vaguely Protestant but saw rank "faith based racism and sexism" just roar into my life from the vile republicans. I have no respect for their hate.

I want to see you back here, Mayor Pete. Be well.

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

I like his views, I like his background, he brings a lot to the table. I see a cabinet post for him if we win. I wish he lived in a different state where he would have a chance in a run for the Senate. I lived in Indiana for a while, he could not win in the rural areas of that state as an openly gay man. That place is more conservative than Oklahoma in much of the state.
