I vote tomorrow in the TX primary. Persuade me to vote for your favorite candidate.

63. Joe has shown a willingness to move left with the party.

I value that flexibility in a politician. Honestly, the Obama years were not great to me. I am much worse off now that I was in 2009, but I don't fault Obama for that. Obama/Biden/Clinton/Kerry were great at foreign policy, and they kept energy prices low. In the 40 days he had to work with in 2009, Obama got the ACA passed, and that was a remarkable and historic feat--one that guaranteed some health care rights that the Republicans will never be able to take away.

For his part, I think that Joe can be an effective and even a liberal president if we can take the Senate and then abolish the filibuster, but can a Joe candidacy deliver the Senate? I don't know. I certainly trust Joe to handle foreign relations, and that matters a great deal to me. We and our allies are in the same boat together, and I suspect that many of our allies would prefer to have Joe as our nominee. He offers the world the best opportunity for things to "get back to normal," so to speak.

Thank you for your assistance.
