Showing Original Post only (View all)I changed my support to Amy Klobuchar. I've changed? Have you? If so why? [View all]
After last night's debate I changed my support from Joe Biden to Amy Klobuchar.
I like Klobuchar because she can win a general election. She can win in places we need to get back... mainly the midwest.
I am a fan of her more "middle of the road" approach. I think she is a good debater. I don't understand why she hasn't been more successful. I worry our party will push the nominee too far left to win. Sadly, it's not a national election. Running up the popular vote total in California will not win the White House.
I worry about Biden's ability to take on Trump. He's struggled in the debates. He has trouble expressing his thoughts. I fear it's age related. People age at different rates. Biden appears mentally old. Sanders while numerically older does not. Neither does Warren.
Question. Have you changed your candidate preference? If so, why?
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

She would be my second choice. I loved her debate performance and how she handled that

No I haven't changed. I support the person who would make the best President.

Warren could win just a handful of states, tally a massive popular vote margin...

I like Amy a lot. Her candidacy has not gained traction. I don't see how she wins

Youre right about Joe's decline & thus effectiveness to take on tRumpty Dumbty, but wrong about Amy.
