Just want to clarify my switch to Elizabeth Warren. Kamala a very close second for me now.

Not because Kamala Harris has done anything I don't like. It's because I have been so impressed with everything Elizabeth has been saying. Just donated to both of them.

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

We in Massachusetts would have to find another senator to fill her place, and she has been terrific in that role.

I would be very happy to have her as President. Kamala Harris would also be very good. Actually, any of the current Democratic candidates would be an immense improvement over the current idiot in the White House.

I think there are a lot of good people in California if Kamala gets the nomination.

And call for a special election rather than a governor appointment. Dems control both houses with a veto proof majority so there is no danger her seat will go to a republican.

But whoever got the seat would be there for 4 years.

I like wqarren, and she is my first choice right now, but I'm still undecided.

She was a feel good candidate and not worth a plugged nickle in the end.

Plus it was an off year election, so very low turnout. But we do have a republican governor, who also ran against the same loser.

So it isn't risk free, but chances are we would hold the seat.. Unless we runs she who won't be named again.

She has a detailed plan for everything I have heard her speak about. She also really gets how financial institutions work. Not just platitudes and ponies.
