75. I like her fire. Her intensity. And her authenticity.

If she’s the nominee I could easily and enthusiastically support her. I’m moving toward that right now. Same thing for Joe Biden.

MY #1 was Jay Inslee, but he never caught fire. So I’m a boat without a harbor at the moment.

I AM ABSOLUTELY committed to vote for - AND work for whoever winds up carrying our colors into battle. Yes, even including Bernie, though he’s far from my favorite.

Glad Gillibrand bailed. But if she’d been the nominee, I’d have promoted and voted for her too.

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