So is the field now set at 20? No Bullock or Bennet?

If so, I’d much rather see four debates of five people than two debates of ten people.
Ten is just too many on one stage.

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

We have more than enough people who can handle Trump and the country but this state is not looking pretty. GG for Gov and Daines wanted something statewide too the next time around. We cannot let those two keep their seats or go local. Not too mention what the other statewide pols have in mind.


Edit: Can we clone Bullock?

This summers debates will separate many.

When the primaries begin, I think we will have 5 after March 3 Super Tuesday.
Biden, Bernie, Warren, Harris and either Pete or Beto.
