Have You Ruled Out Any Candidates?

74. I always appreciate your reasoning

Very solid and logical.

I agree that few on the list can defeat Trump. That is opposite of what most posters here believe. Kamala is great but sourced from California and as female I think she has less opportunity than Beto. All my concerns about Kamala are not what she would do during a campaign, but how she would be perceived.

If Biden were 10 to 20 years younger I'd have more confidence in how he would hold up. I don't like to make subjective exceptions as opposed to how something would be viewed in generic terms.

I think Inslee and Klobuchar would have a good chance. I am frustrated than most candidates who I believe have the greatest opportunity to defeat Trump are lower on the preference list, while ones atop have some built-in deficit like age and socialist, if not both.

Anyway, I'll have to say I have ruled out everyone except Beto, in terms of who I will vote for in the primary. As always, I don't believe in day-to-day whirlwind as opposed to making a sound big picture evaluation well ahead of time and sticking to it.

I will vote for any Democrat in November. I have never voted for a Republican on any level.
