23. I don't think it's really that shocking. I also don't think it's that cut and dry.

"Have you made up your mind on a primary candidate for 2020?" If you look here at my signature, it would give the impression that I've made up my mind. I've changed it once already from Beto. I'm not closed to changing it again at all. So, my own mind isn't really totally made up either.

We have a HUGE field that's only whittled down a little, Iowa's just shy of a half year away yet before it really kicks off. Frankly, as long as the name isn't Bernie Sanders, I'm sticking with whomever shows strongest in the battleground states when matched up against trump. If that starts to swing to Sen. Warren, I'll be ordering her yard sign, kicking in some donations and volunteering. Mine's just one of MANY different approaches we're taking. Being part of the "Big tent" definitely has advantages, but there's also some drawbacks.. a big one is we'll never be as unified as the tRumpublicans. Something I both love and hate

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