When the 46th president of the United States - or the 45th "legitimately elected" president - is sworn into office in 2021, he or she will have a hell of a team to chose from for the Cabinet and the federal bench, or to rely upon for getting the right things done in Congress and across the nation in state and local governments.

The person who will be the VP needs to be someone qualified and prepared to take on the job. And in some cases they will eventually run for the top position. So it is good to see potential VP candidates, too.

I am not so keen on Delaney but would be more than fine with the rest.

I was pretty impressed with Gabbard....thought she gave a plausible explanation for some of her prior unpopular positions.

And....a smart dog would be better than Twitler.

Di Blasio started to irritate me because of his interruptions, though he did have some good things to say. I don't think Delaney, Ryan or Gabbard will advance, though they were better than I expected. I think O'Rourke could have done better - I thought he was a little vague. Warren, Booker, Castro and Klobuchar did especially well.
