40. After his announcement today

Sun Apr 14, 2019, 05:37 PM

Apr 2019

realizing what a brilliant speaker he is, I hope that maybe the desire to "drink a beer with our candidate", will be replaced by a hope to have a serious and honest discussion with our candidate.

I think Pete has the "it" factor, in spades.

So, as a 67 year old male, gay, atheist, I changed from undecided to Pete!

If he is given the oxygen to breathe by the media, I think he just may be able to do it.

I also believe that he will counter turdface, when needed. We can't just dwell on tit for tat, but we must respond when tf goes so far beyond the pale...

For once in a long time, I am hopeful.

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