Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumNot sure how this crowded field will play out, but there are some great positives in this group...
I don't know who ultimately will be "my" primary person yet and I don't see that changing for some time, but here are some things that I think are great among the field...
Biden - Truly move in ready. No candidate has seen what he has given his terms as VP. Add to that his Senate tenure
Bernie and Warren - both consistent and laser focused on similar economic issues that are critical.
Kamala - I honestly think back to the Kavanaugh hearings and at various other times, where hearing her and how sharp she is. It's not that the others aren't, but I'm guessing her career as a prosecutor honed these skills.
Klobuchar - doesn't seem to be getting much support and maybe she's done before this goes far, but she was great in the hearings as well. I don't know if the staffing complaints are legit, but I would like to hear more from her
Beto - Yeah, his resume is a little thin, but I wouldn't underestimate his ability to lead. He natural charisma and ability to talk to people in not easily learned.
Honestly there a few people running that I am not very familiar with. I look forward to hearing them as this year moves along.
We've got a LONG way until the primaries actually start.
I don't mean to leave anyone out if there is someone not mentioned that you would like to comment on and what they bring, please do!

(58,785 posts)and he has the potential to become the big voice we need for our climate, energy, water, environmental and agricultural crises.
Andrew Yang -- A tech expert whose campaign is "the robots are coming." Many millions will lose jobs in the next handful of years, a large portion held by males, and replacements will not materialize. He speaks of massive social disruption if our national resources, including our enormous national wealth, are not marshaled to deal with this in time, which of course they must be. Another one I want on the debate stage.
