Today I had a feeling while watching Amy Klobuchar that we are going to end up with [View all]

a Biden-Klobuchar ticket in order to be "safe" and win in 2020.

Why? Because people know Biden and they feel he is stable and not too far to the left. Amy is "midwest nice," not in a bad sense at all but in a reassuring sense to an American public afraid of "socialism" (while approving of many socialist ideas) and wanting to be comforted after a hurtful, nasty, vindictive Trump regime. I feel that these hurt voters will turn to the safe, reassuring Democratic candidates who won't blow anything up, but be safe and comfortable. They are too "shell shocked" from Trump's outrages to venture too far "out there" and out of their comfort zone.

My assessment for today, June 16, 2019. This may all change but it is how I feel our electorate is doing today...

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