Watching Beto in Iowa,

there's no way Idiot can call him "low energy!" Wow, he's on fire, and definitely talking issues. If, as I hope, Kamala gets the nom, he should be her VP.

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

He probably waves his arms too much, but in a big crowd it would work really well.

I woke up to see an e-mail from Beto. I got to talk to Beto at the National Convention just briefly. In early 2017, Beto spoke to a small group at a tavern in my county. My son and I got to see Beto up close and he is amazing. I made a couple of rallies and heard him at the state convention. Beto is perhaps the best retail politician that I have seen since President Obama.

I like Beto a great deal and Beto could flip Texas which is a goal that I have been working towards for a very long time. I am still torn between Beto, Biden and Harris but my main goal is anyone but sanders.

I love their energy and message. And I like Elizabeth’s policies. We have great candidates. It’s going to be a difficult decision.

5. Will vote for him if he wins, but he dances around too much, his hand gestures give me seizures, and

worse.

Maybe he's running for exposure, but I do not think he can beat trump or other GOPers who might take trump's place in 2020. He lost to Cruz. I get it was Texas, but he still lost. He does not remind me of Robert Kennedy, as some say. I think his future is down the road.

Maybe he's a good addition to the field at this point, but don't think he can win general election. That's most important to me.

I also think he needs to wait and get more experience.

Especially if everyone adheres to the pledge not to fight dirty, e.g., launch personal attacks, or spread unfounded gossip, or make outlandish statements like "Candidate X is unqualified to be president."

That said, the primaries will likely be a great showcase of Dem ideals, vision, and fundamental knowledge of the issues.

The first primary is in June.

The first primary (caucus, technically) is in February.

I'm pretty sure that's what you meant, anyway.

I also like Buttigieg, as well. Lots of good choices.
