59. I rule out anyone who I don't think has a chance of beating Trump

Tue Mar 19, 2019, 01:36 PM

Mar 2019

even though I love everything about them ex: Buttigieg. For me the few that I think can win are
1. Biden
2. Beto
3. Kamala

And if I were really honest with myself, even my favorite Kamala probably has less of a chance than Beto or Biden.

FWIW, since I live in a totally red state where my general election vote won't matter, I am #NeverBernie. I won't forget or forgive what he did in 2016

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