12. I hope he picks Amy Kloubuchar, but not because she's a woman

rather I believe she has the qualities that would most help a President Biden have a successful presidency (including shepherding bills through Congress).

And I think it is the ticket that does best in the electoral college and has the best coat-tail effect in swing Senate races and other down-ballot races.

I value the historic importance of the first female VP (as I did when supporting HRC for the presidency in 2016) but they got my backing for being the persons I see/saw as most qualified, not as a gender-based pick.



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