(7,615 posts)32. My favs far are Bernie, Warren, and Buttigieg. I voted for Bernie in the primary last time
but I think Warren is similar (progressive) and seems to have a lot of energy and I think can bring a lot of excitement to the race (bring in a lot of younger people). I doesn't look like Buttigieg will make it? I also still like Bernie and truthfully I wouldn't have a problem with Biden. I would prefer a more progressive candidate. I just wonder if America will elect a woman? I know that sounds strange but sadly a lot of men (even Dems) are still living in the 19th century as far as women's right and equality. The primary thing for me is making sure that Trump does not have a second term. I'm not sure I or the country can handle another 4 years.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

OP
I like him, but he would do better to concentrate on turning Texas blue in the Senate. nt
