14. I really like Harris. I think she will be president in the future.

I think I want Harris to continue to work in the Senate for now, possibly as Attorney General first. In the near future, I want her there asking questions on congressional panels. I think her default fallback of "lets' have a conversation about that" is perfectly reasonable, but I hope she can learn not to rely on it so specifically and it feels like a deflect (a positive one, but I think there are subjects she honestly hasn't made her mind up on yet and isn't ready to take a position on. Which is fine.) She's got a long, bright career ahead.

So does Buttigieg. He will be President one day. I think he should be VP first since he is young and can have a longer political arc that we missed with Obama since he tested right out of his class.

I think Warren is ready now. She knows how to explain things so you can understand them. I think she and Buttigieg are both idea people who are compassionate and wise to how government works.

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