Can we have a thread where we each say something nice about the candidate we like the least?

and commit to voting for them if they get the nomination even if they are your last choice in the Primaries?

I personally really like ALL of the Democratic candidates and will work for any of them and vote for any of them the first day of early voting and will try to get everyone I know out to vote whether it be Warren, Biden, Sanders etc. etc.

So I will start even though I love everyone. After some have dropped out Biden is probably my least favorite of the main ones but in all honesty I really love Biden! I think he is genuine, kind, he has a wonderful fun personality, I agree with him on just about everything and I think he is extremely qualified but worry he will lead too much from the center and try to work with both sides. Still, he is a billion times better than fuckface annoying orange and I would be proud to work for him. Please stick to the main point of my OP. Thanks and remember we are all a team here! ALL of us!

The main candidate I like the least is Sanders.

He's way too old, divisive, and I think that Trump would eat his lunch in the GE.

But I actually agree with him on almost every issue, and have nothing but respect for everything he's done in the Senate.

Biden; his experience could be very valuable in rebuilding America's foreign standing in the world, which trump has severely damaged.

Warren; established the Consumer Protection Agency and is genuinely interested in protecting people from predatory financial practices.

Buttigieg; Smart as hell, youthful, I think he is right about how to achieve medicare for all.

Klobuchar; I really haven't formed an opinion about her except that she is smart, personable, and would be a safe, steady president. After 4 years of trump, safe and steady sounds good.

Tom Steyer; a billionaire who actually has the common good at heart. Very admirable.

Andrew Yang; Introducing some very new ideas. the ideas may be good or bad but getting people to consider something new is an accomplishment.

My support is based on
1) Whose positions I agree with the most (but not necessarily all).
2) Who I think has the best chance of defeating trump.

No personal attacks, just presenting her overall philosophy of the issues she was asked about. At certain points, she owned the stage. I even commented to someone about it the next morning.

I like a lot of Bernie's policies
Bloomberg - I like that he's spending a ton of $$ against drumpf right now and has promised to turn over his staff and database (supposedly one of the best) to the winner of the Dem nomination. That's totally awesome, if he does follow thrugh.

I will vote for either of them if they are the Dem nominee - I even commit to working for their election through the FL Democratic party, since I neither are traitorous criminals out to destroy us like drumpf.

The man is highly competent and can organize an effective government, and though his vision for advancing our nation differs in some key respects from mine, I believe he entered public service for honorable reasons and he is responsive to the needs of Americans of all classes, not primarily his own.

But since you posted this under democratic primaries I assume you don’t want to make me think of something nice about him. And I’d be ok with most any of the democratic candidates still in the running. I guess I’d go along with one of the previous posters. I’m not a big fan of Tulsi Gabbard (is that how you spell her name?) but she’s attractive. Not the greatest compliment on this web site, but there you have it.
