I want to see Pete getting closer to frontrunners. Warren is the one I trust 100%. We need her either as president or VP. She is the smartest one running, head and shoulders above Biden. But the most important question is who is likely to win in the general. I think we won’t the answer to it for months. Warren’s energy is unmatched. I want to see her focusing on purple states more. Why rally in NYC? Why not Miami, Phoenix, Columbus, Detroit, Philadelphia, etc.? If she wants to win the nomination, she needs to do only one thing: convince primary voters that she is most likely to beat trump. The only way to do it is to spend most of your time, energy and money in swing states. It’s good to see that Pete’s votes are going to Warren. I think the same will happen with Kamala and Sanders votes. It is essentially a two way race between Biden and Warren. And if the above three drop out, w/o question they’ll endorse Warren.

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