Feb 2020

He has executive talent out the wazoo, but seemingly no desire for legislative positions. Mayor/Governor track is IMO the best training for the Presidency and he has followed the script so far. After all, if you can govern California successfully, the Presidency would be in the wheelhouse considering California would be a Top 10 country by itself.

Ted Lieu may be better for the Senate but he has no path to the presidency unless the rules were changed, so speakership could be a non-starter.

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

IMO Harris would be better with the only candidate that has said she will put Trump, et al. in jail pecosbob Feb 2020 #14

I thought Senator Warren said she would as well, and so did Eric Swalwell Celerity Feb 2020 #26
