asnd presidential general if we nominate a candidate who can't connect with moderate voters...health care the ACA was the number one issue...and Waren and Sanders are running on MFA...that is a big issue if either are the nominee. Vote blue no matter who... let's kick Trump out!

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