Do we want a Kamikaze or a Kumbaya nominee ? [View all]

Our candidates are going to mostly line up pretty much the same on policy.
Style will make the difference
Do we want a street fighter that will overturn Trumps legacy quickly or an incrementalist that will try to work with and compromise with the GOP.

The fighters are:
Bernie
Warren
Mayor Pete
Harris
Gillibrand
Yang
Gravel
Inslee

The conciliatory are:
Biden
Klobuchar
Beto
Booker
Stalwell
Hickenlooper
Gabbard
Ryan
Castro

Neither style is better or worse. I’ve used both in business and personal matters. It’s kind of a carrot or stick approach. So please don’t think I’m denigrating any of our candidates. I like them all.

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