(13,714 posts)38. sorry, i'd rather we drop mayor Pete & give Hickenlooper a chance. I was impressed by his answers.
Pete on the other hand was a little too smug for my taste. The lack of national & international exposure makes him unqualified as of now, no matter how well-spoken he is. His responses last night were good but not spectacular. I would prefer mayor Pete run for Congress first, get his resume beefed up with some national experience at least before he's ready for prime time.
I would add Booker to the list to move on for now. Don't think he's ready yet.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

agree, Yang's idea to me is a very good one. Problem is he completely lacks the charisma to deliver
