Perhaps Sanders for President, Warren (or Klobuchar) for Vice President, and Sanders serves one term and then Vice President Warren or Klobuchar runs in 2024?

I’d support that.

Biden is a lame duck only if he chooses to be.

But frankly, he should only serve 1 term. That job ages people. And Biden isn’t exactly young.

I’d love Joe/Amy with her atop the ticket in 2024.

I have talked with a lot of Republicans and asked them their opinions of various candidates and even among low information voters have been surprised how many have said that they liked her.

I hope that Klobuchar places in the top three in Iowa so that she can remain in the race.

Amy won her race by 26 points.

HRC won by less than 2%

She can get votes from republicans that makes winning in 2020 easier.

She is my candidate because her policies will genuinely improve the lives of most Americans. Even if we don't get everything she's asking for due to the debate and amendment process in Congress, that's OK. We'll STILL benefit.

As to Klobuchar, I could cheerfully get behind her. No problem.
