They are all certainly better than Trump by a long shot. But as far as winning, they are not created equal.

Although I'm not convinced Biden can, either. He's run several times and never come close. But he is certainly the most experienced in the field. Nothing he hasn't seen or dealt with before...even personal attacks. Most of the others, if not all of them, have never run for political office on a national level. It's a horse of a different color. I'm actually having a hard time finding someone I like enough (in every sense of the word) to support for the nominee.

I'm hoping the debates clear the field for the top contenders, whoever they may be. I'm sure one or two will rise to the top and show they can win.

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