There are so many experienced and competent Democrats out there who would make outstanding candidates.

And he has defended some of the most vulnerable people in the recent immigrant crisis. I’m sure he would build a competent cabinet and listen to their counsel.

I will keep an open mind wrt his potential candidacy.

My issue with him right now is my own lack of knowledge about who he is.

Can he win a primary based on ideas, or will he redirect his PI's to looking at Sanders, Harris, etc.

The guy is amazing at selling.
