16. He doesn't know how to give back, but give his loud opinion on ads. He's never held elected office

locally, statewide or anywhere, and he's no more fit to govern because he has good intentions than any other billionaires.

Has anyone here posted him in the candidates' section, to give his past record?
Website address?
Contact information?
Policy stances?
Is he listed in Open Secrets?
Ballotpedia?
On The Issues?

I'm just not feelin' it.

No more billionaires without governing experience and a serious campaign presence.

These polls are reactions. Pulse taking. He's buying up opinion to get on a stage.

I'll resent it if he buys his way onstage to pit his opinions against seasoned leadership.

This country's been through enough "learning on the job" richies.

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

Thanks for the reply! I was wondering if he was running a lot of ads. highplainsdem Aug 2019 #28
