She's another solid candidate we can really be proud of. I'd be thrilled if either she or Mayor Pete were our nominee.

Using 'widdle' in this context pissed me off -- in more ways than one

Amy deserves to be among the contenders.

...are still too low. Its mid November 2 months before the voting starts some places, time to see these candidates actually exchange ideas rather than a stage crowded with double digit people giving 45 second soundbites and making zingers at pre-planned targets that they know they will not have adequate opportunity to address.

or even on debates.

In 2008 and in 2016 many states with after March primaries, for the first time had a choice.

I really think she is the candidate that can help us win back Wisconsin, and maybe some of the other midwest states.

I have a feeling she will gain more support in the future. She would be tough for Trump to attack due to her workable policies and appeal to the middle class. She is savvy on world affairs and wouldn’t kowtow to Putin.
