President Mark Kelly has a nice ring to it.

Hopefully Kelly throws his hat in the ring. He’ll be my choice if he is STILL a candidate by the time NY finally gets around to their primary. Another reason that all primaries should be on the same damn day in this country. I understand the mechanics of elections. But, it pisses me off to no end. I agree when people say they don’t have a say in the primary candidate selected. We wait months and watch our favored candidate sometimes fall by the wayside. I was heartbroken when I couldn’t fill in the little circle for Liz Warren. Early states make the decisions for the whole darn country.

It’s Wrong!!!!
