I have not yet chosen a favorite candidate for the Presidency...

Should I be in a hurry?

My opinion is that the person that gets in last will probably end up as the favorite. By then, most of the others will have absorbed most of the negative attention heaped upon them. It's the times that we live in.

And with such a large field, people will always be looking for someone else.

I would advise any Democrat that plans on running to wait until the very last minute to declare. They will likely be the instant favorite.

Just my opinion.

No doubt.

I do not think most of the early candidates are politically astute. My opinion.

Most candidates haven't announced, and nobody knows how they'll prioritize policies, develop a campaign approach to defeat Trump, etc.

I have preference, but only among the four that I've met. That will be revised as I meet with more.

when I have to vote. I'm not going to invest in someone who might have already dropped out of the race. Until then I plan to keep an open mind and listen to what all have to say.

In the end my number one criteria will be who has the best chance of beating Trump.
