I don't know. Simple error, my apologies.

I'm not a stealth republican if that's what you're thinking.

I sent this idea to Warren using the webform at her site, and not surprisingly did not get a reply.

Tried to send it to Beto, but there's no contact method there yet.

I intend to send it to all democratic candidates, but this is one of the reasons I posted it here...if anybody connected to the democrat candidates likes the idea, send it up.

And please pick it apart.

One problem potentially is incumbents.

Do we want the sitting Attorney General debating prospective ones?

Should the Secretary of Defense be debating during an armed conflict?

That's a potential issue, but my thought on that is we already are familiar with sitting cabinet members, this is for primaries and contested elections where the sitting president is term limited or fails to secure nomination.

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