I love Bernie, voted for him in '16 primary,

but I have a viable option who closely represents my views and values this time in Warren.

I think Bernie will take us down in the general.

Biden / Warren, if Biden wins NV and SC and stays strong, as of late? I really wanted a POC on the ticket, but I read that both are popular with AA voters, hopefully Latino as well. Good enough for me!

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

That proved to me she could take on Trump!!

I was just about to switch from Biden to Bloomberg, but now am back to strong Biden.

I would happily vote for Warren with Biden as Secretary of State. That would still leave VP open for POC. Booker? Abrams?

If I were to vote in a presidential

... but find him personally unpleasant, and a bridge burner.

Not to mention, I don't like a guy who refuses to commit to a party and then decides he wants to take it over. As is we are only worth his presence if he's the leader.

I don't understand the guy's appeal, I admit. I guess he tells people what they want to hear, regardless of the reality.

Would feel happy with a final three Biden, Warren and Pete competing for the nomination.

Supporting Warren for the same reason I liked Bernie in the primaries last time. Like her policies, and genuinely think she’s our best option to beat Trump.

She chose not to run so I supported Bernie.
My worry is not so much everyone outside of the Democratic Party...it's all the Democrats that hate Bernie's guts. I don't think it's justified but it's there.
I do think it was a big mistake for him not to maintain the Democratic Party identification after 2016.
