22. So hard to choose

For me it was Pete, Amy, Elizabeth. Bloomberg is out. Bernie is out. Steyer has a chance, but for tonight, although he did well, he's out. For me, it's between Pete and Amy.

And, I don't know if they can win, but these are the two that I am responding to best. Pete is very smart, has a military background, good family man, and he makes sense. I don't care that he's gay (let's face it, that is problematical), and I don't care that he is younger. Both he and Amy focused on what I am very worried about: beating Trump. That's what makes the choice agonizing.

I won't cry over any of them, and I am going to support whichever one of them gets the nomination.

Steyer is right, and he did start months ago to run ads against Trump. That's very much in his favor. And, he said he is scared of Trump winning. This shows he knows how much is at stake. He came right out and said very emotionally that the country is at stake.

On a totally irrelevant note, I would love to say, "President Pete."

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

Not sure how to formulate this without offending ALBliberal Feb 2020 #10
Is it because he's gay you think he cannot win? David__77 Feb 2020 #17
Not at all. I think it's more lack of experience. ALBliberal Feb 2020 #18
