47. The map, and who can change it is 100% my driver.

Mar 2019

I’ve glared at the map below for more than 2 years now...

My early choice is all about who I think is best poised to change enough of that red to blue in 2020.

I don’t give a crap about positions.. positions are important for Senators and Representatives I support. The POTUS doesn’t draft bills that execute positions. Congress does. The only position I need the POTUS to have is that she or he will sign Democratic Party led bills, and bills that support the Democratic Party platform when they reach her or his desk, AND veto the Republican agenda ones.

Statesmanship that will begin to restore our image abroad is likewise important to me this cycle. All of our candidates have this imo.

Will pick a great cabinet, and make great choice appointments. Again, I don’t see any weaknesses here in our field of candidates.

So, it boils down to the map.

I am 100% flexible to change. As this goes on, if another candidate seems more likely to win the primary, and win that map she or he has my support.

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