and too many Democrats, especially among our most loyal Democratic voters, still resent him.

I like Harris and Booker thus far (though Booker hasn't declared yet). I also like Warren, and she comes across as much younger and more energetic than her actual age. I like how good and how blunt she is at explaining things.

Right now Harris and Warren are my favorites.
