I'm having a harder time with a second choice than first. One more debate with fewer candidates should do it.

I thought Beto did far better Tuesday than he was given credit for. So based on that he passed several other candidates on my list.

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