Vote for the person who will be most transformative.

I heard that today and have been pondering it.

This election is not like any other in our lifetime.

We must have no less than transformation.

primary today, I would vote for:

Fresh, new ideas. Transforming ideas. Absolutely nobody who supports the status quo. I want deep, meaningful change, engineered and directed by a candidate who puts country over party and principles over access.

We may think that any of our candidates can beat Trump, but that's just not true.
I will vote for the person I feel has the best chance of beating Trump and making him a 1 term president.

The only focus should be on winning back the WH and getting a majority in the Senate.

Most POTUS are re-elected. We need the most electable candidate. I really have strong doubts about sanders and Warren being able to defeat trump

Defeat Donald Trump. Because without a win in 2020 the only transformation will be the continued governmental gutting we're watching now and a very bleak future for everyone.

Horse before carriage!
