Another question for all those who have picked a candidate?

30. I don't believe in day to day variables and ping pong opinions

Worst possible approach, IMO, and that applies to any endeavor.

There has to be a foundational focus and boost, essentially stealing a few percent to the good without devoting much time or applying any subjectivity or stress. Otherwise you are starting from scratch every day. That is simply too much of a burden. Few are good enough to weave through all the decisions and emerge calmly and logically on the other side.

I prioritize electability. Versus an incumbent that means charisma. I would prefer a male above female due to misogyny as very real. The ones who seem to want a female are the same types who believe Texas is in play right now. That is very poor handicapping, on both ends. It is ignoring the deficit of many percent instead of taking steps to apply the few percent in your favor.

I would also prefer young over old, for reasons I've mentioned recently and emphasize on sports forums all the time. Only recently has the NFL studied and grasped the value of drafting players who are below the typical age instead of above. The difference in results is enormous. That should have been obvious all along. Early demonstrated excellence is exponentially more valuable and significant than late blooming stiffs.

Everything pointed to Beto first among those handful of criteria. I am not thrilled with the recent revelations from his past but they would be more problematic among our primary voters than in a general election. Unfortunately, Democrats are overly obsessed with those meaningless day to day variables, while general election swing voters basically don't care at all.
