I've decided on Elizabeth Warren. Let me tell you why. [View all]

I've always liked her as I do many others, just wasn't sure.

But after watching Warren's interviews post debate, youtube videos of various speeches and reading some of her 20 policy papers (I plan to read them all), I was just about ready to go with her but still not 100%.

Then something happened today.

I met a colleague for happy hour and we started talking about the debates and the candidates. She told me her 15 year old son loves Warren. He loves her because she's able to explain her plans and how DC works in a way that he can understand. He also thinks she's running for we the people, not herself. She's uplifting when she speaks and her enthusiasm is contagious.

There's something to that. For me, listening to her seems ease the pall that I've been carrying around since 2016.

I'm done with negativity and politics as usual. Warren is different and right now, think she's exactly what we need.





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