Apr 2019

All of our candidates are impressive and it seems each one has a specific area of expertise or skill. It would be a dream to see them working together.

ETA: Mayor Pete is in my top 3 (along with Biden and Warren), but he is so authentic and such a skillful, spot-on speaker, one who can cut right to the heart of any matter, I can easily see him representing us at the UN. We are going to need to do a lot of damage control with our allies. Pete and Beto would both do well in those sorts of roles, imho. Or as VP, of course!

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