How can someone decide when there are so many great candidates?

I love Joe. I love Kamala, Warren, Mayor Pete. Then there's Cory, Beto, Amy and I even like Gillibrand, too.

There's plenty of time to make a decision, but with such a great field I can't see how we'll go wrong when the time comes to place our vote.

Apologies to those I didn't mention. We do have the best candidates.

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

I like Buttigeig a lot, but I also like Elizabeth Warren a lot. Kamala is good. Cory would be good. Inslee would be good.

In fact, my new Siamese kitten Merlin would be a better president than Trump.

I've actually heard Trump plays with yarn all day, and in order to get his attention they have to shine a laser pointer on the floor in front of him.

Whoever wins, they need to emphasize the big tent philosophy and bring in all Democrats.

...who can beat the orange asshole.

Biden can whip tRump's ass. I favor Kamala, but the main issue to me is TRUMP OUT!

Also someone who can beat Trump. It's way too early to determine the latter so I am currently supporting my former
