She'd be the best president out of the entire field of candidates.

5. I'm leaning. But also just sticking to my original stance of waiting until SuperTuesday when the

larger country votes.

The reason I won't declare on DU is because when Inslee, my primary candidate, lost, I said I'd wait for the public to decide on Super Tuesday and then go with the DNC nominee. I still believe he was the best candidate. I've been pretty much avoiding all poll talk and point scoring on the Primaries and Candidates threads.

I gave the Governor Inslee sell my best effort, early on.

That doesn't mean I must be silent, can't hold opinions, or that I don't have preferences.

I was leaning Biden. Biden will get the black vote -- and we should remember that no Democrat ever wins without the black vote. I still think the country trusts his experience and ability to hit the ground running to reset this government constitutional balance. Warren can get the women's vote for a male nominee, which is the largest out-group in the country, and no small number.

I want a Biden/Warren ticket.

There are other winning combinations, but the way I see it, this one is best for our best Democratic Party governance, and for eventually removing the corporate capture this government suffers from.

I do intend to be a full donor to Warren if she wins just ONE primary ahead, because I want her, at the least, picked for VP, so she can be in the room for all big decisions, and learn what Biden knows.

I do believe she's the smartest, has the best voting record, and has done the most for real practical help to Americans with her Consumer Protection Bureau.

Thanks for asking.
