Mar 2020

then a woman Governor or Senator from the midwest, preferably with a long record. Amy & Liz still on the list, but failed to enthuse. It has to be someone steeped in experience and ready to run in 2024 or assume the office at any time. He needs someone with national experience in that regard.

A sleeper would be someone southern. I still think Stacey Abrams is too inexperienced, a former State house leader. No national resume.

Sadly our ranks are thin after 10 years of GOP House and Senate ownership. Obama 2009-2010 was busy with Great Recession and not tending to party matters.

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