Ranking our candidates.

So, I thought this might be fun.
I’m going to rank, in order, who I HOPE is our nominee of our remaining candidates.
Not who I think will be the nominee.
And, of course, I will vote blue no matter who over the Orange ogre.

Warren
Klobuchar
Biden
Buttigieg
Sanders
Bloomberg
Steyer
Gabbard

He postponed the start of his business career to work for Walter Mondale. He did his part to try stopping the Reagan Revolution in its tracks.

Anyway, here is my list:

I also wish that Corey Booker was still in the race. I wish people had given him a closer look when he was running.
