Of course Warren is going to endorse any and all democrats. Is that a problem for you?

Again to repeat my point, multi Billionaires like Bezos who have more money to spend on personal campaign than ALL THE MONEY SPENT IN PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS since Abraham Lincoln, seldom succeed winning presidency. Which then should become obvious that money is not the ONLY criteria for winning national elections. Certainly money gives an advantage to candidates to buy TV Ads, but that is never enough in most elections. A winner more often than not, has a message the voters like and has the skill to express it to his/her advantage. And that does not need a Billion dollars.

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