The other candidates left me with no choice but to switch

I'm so incredibly disappointed with the cowardly and/or cynical stances the other candidates have taken. Right is right and wrong is wrong.

If democrats fail to act, they won't be able to say that it's just the republicans who have refused to stand up to trump and defend our democracy.

I think not impeaching would be just as disastrous. If you can't stand

up for our country and the rule of law, what good are you? Why should I even vote for people who aren't willing to fight for our democracy?

I want a party that isn't stifled by fear. The facts are on our

side. If your scenario happens, fine, Pence would lose in 2020, and dump will die soon anyway. Democrats would be rewarded in 2020 for standing up for our country.

I'm giving candidates 1 more week to make a firm statement in favor of impeachment

First, kudos to Senator Warren for being the first candidate to call for trump's impeachment. I'm usually in the pragmatic camp, but not this time--not when it comes to the chaos and cruelty trump has inflicted in this country and around the world.

Frankly, I'm disgusted by the delay I'm seeing when it comes to my preferred candidates. Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Pete...I'm talking to you! Anyone who has not taken a firm stance by next Friday will not get my vote in the primaries. Period. I'm looking for a leader, not a follower.

Kamala/Pete or Pete/Kamala 2020?

Could this combination be our power ticket?

Just switched my selection to Pete because he's for abolishing the electoral college

That's hands down my #1 issue. NONE of our goals will matter if we don't first get our electoral system under control. When a clown like trump can rule after losing by over 3 million votes, something is wrong. We're not a democracy, we're a joke!

A Corey and Kamala ticket. How do you think it would do?

Honestly, it's my dream ticket for many substantial reasons... but also a petty one: It would be a big F-U to trump and his sexist/racist minions.
