96. I Like Amy

Feb 2020

I like her over Biden, I like her over Mayor Pete. I think Biden has been around Washington too long, and Pete has not been around long enough. Amy is in the middle, in a good way. She has experience as a Senator, but is a relatively fresh face in national politics. She is also smart, tough, funny, and well-spoken. She seems to be able to think on her feet. Good qualities for a President and a candidate. Anyway, I hope that her campaign gets a lot of money and donations. I hope that she goes the distance. I am still undecided, but I definitely like Amy.

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