Don't get me wrong, I love Joe, Elizabeth and Amy but beating Trump is my No 1 goal.

Trump hates being ridiculed and marginalized and that is exactly what the Democrats need to do to him. They need to poke him in such a way that he makes more and more mistakes. They need to poke bazooka size holes in all of his claims of what he has done or will to. Think short liar liar pants on fire ads that are quick, to the point and grabs your attention. They need to also go after his enablers.


The Democratic Party candidates need to be constantly attacking Trump and highlighting his weaknesses and stop attacking each other. I want them to convince me why they can beat Trump. Bloomberg doesn't waste time or money attacking the other candidates. For those who are concerned about the base be willing to vote for Bloomberg, that is where his VP choice might help deal with that issue.

The November elections should totally be in the bag for Democrats but, with the interference of the Rethugs in the primary process, foreign interference, Trump's continued destruction of our institutions and so on, Democrats have to pull together, stop any infighting and get behind the eventual nominee to win.

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