I'm waiting to see. Right now, he looks like he has the best shot to me. I have an LGBT kid. I need the SCOTUS to support LGBT rights. I've got my own reasons to be pragmatic, and lots of people are 100% pragmatic this election for their own reasons. I'm also horrified beyond belief by what's happening at the southern border. Anybody who is going to suffer more from Trump is going to be mainly anti-Trump and mainly support whoever can beat Trump. I'm not a fan of Bloomberg, but if he is most likely to beat Trump, he'll get my vote in the primary. (Although I'm in Michigan and it'll be closer to being decided by then.)

My favorite personally is probably Elizabeth Warren although I like all the ones you said better than Bloomberg. I like Bernie, and I voted for him in the primary in 2016. This election, I only care about beating Trump. Bloomberg appears to seriously know how to do that. Many of the rest go on and on about things that either won't help them or will actively hurt them in the general election. I'll take Bloomberg not as a favorite as someone who will not keep causing so much harm.

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