I didn't think a black man could win, especially not with a name like Barack Hussein Obama.

We have a number of well qualified women, I think they will have a tougher time than a white male, but not impossible. Right now I think Klobuchar could successfully fend off sexist attacks. I am not sure about the others.

There are polls now showing only Biden would easily win a head-to-head matchup against Trump. That goes along with what you are saying. But things may change in a few months, so we'll see.

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