Question for our friends in Washington state.

How much is the Coronavirus expected to suppress turnout on Tuesday?
Be safe (and stay healthy) guys in the great northwest.

Seriously, why hasn't Tulsi dropped out?

I know she finished second in American SamoA...but....

My switch to Biden and some advice for his staff.

Sadly my candidate is now out.
But I’m still very proud of Warren and think she was classy until the end.

As for my choice between Biden and Bernie.
I voted for Bernie in the 2016 primary and Hillary in the general.
I consider myself to be a far left progressive.
But a pragmatic one.

I’m pretty much aligned with Bernie on policy.
But I don’t like his stagecraft.
He yells and waves his arms too much when a calmer demeanor would be better suited.
He is uncompromising and doesn’t have many legislative accomplishments.
Biden voted for the Iraq war and has made other mistakes.
But he led on gay marriage and women’s issues.
His heart is in the right place and his personality is warm and likable.

So I’m now on the Joe train.
But, please Biden staff, keep him ON SCRIPT AND ON TELEPROMPTER.
He doesn’t need to get caught up rambling and switching subjects midstream when off script.
He should have short rallies where others also speak endorsing him and introducing him.
Only do one on one media interviews with “friendly” media. Not the gotcha types.
Smile more. He has a great smile.
Use Jill more. People love her.
Be the happy warrior. Let Bernie and Trump be the angry ones.
Be lovable Uncle Joe.
If so, you’ve got this.
Go Joe!

Where's Beto ?

Thought he’d be in Dallas with Joe and Amy.
