13. Respect for Steyer.

Unlike Bloomberg, I always saw Steyer as being in this race because he really cared about the issues, rather than his ego. Climate change, for one thing. And his dropping out now shows he sees the bigger picture. He seems like a decent guy, and I hope he can use his money and platform to keep supporting good causes.

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