    Same as last time. Who and, if you want, why.

    Warren. I like her policies, and unlike Bernie, her supporters don't make me want to jump off a building.

    Pete Buttigieg. He’s the right age — not in his 70s — and he has enough pragmatism and progressivism to appeal to a broad swath of voters. I don’t care who he has sex with, as long as it isn’t children. I’m looking at you, GOP.

    He seems moral and ethical. He has the military background, which doesn’t matter to me but does to some. He’s sane. He’s sane.

    He won’t get the nomination, but he’d be a great candidate in 2028. By then, more of the Trump-voting Republicans will be dead and millennials will be the majority, and they definitely don’t give a shit about sexual orientation.

    I want someone who, statistically, isn’t likely to die in office. Warren, Biden and Sanders don’t fit that bill.

    I think Biden is getting a lot of votes that would normally be "undecided" and he also benefits from those who might not normally be voting in a Dem primary. While Bernie and Warren have the support of the 24/7 engaged Dem voters - I do wish there would be more discussion of "who would be the best President."

    Still Pete for me but seemingly going to end up with Biden or Warren. And I’ll happily give them my vote.

    I'm starting to think Warren gets the nomination and, even though she breaks my age rule, I'm fine with that. The Mayor remains my first choice but I'll stick to my Warren-Buttigieg-Harris triple. Any two in any order and I'm OK with the ticket.

    Still convinced it doesn't matter, that we're doomed for another term of Trump. I would very much love to be wrong. But the clown who claims an 88 percent increase in his IRA isn't the only Trump supporter I've seen who is too stupid to see through the charade. I still haven't heard a Trump diehard say, "Wow, was I ever wrong."

    I've heard one say it, and they said it early on. One more than I expected

    The Trump diehards aren't the ones you're trying to convince. They're only 30 percent of the electorate and they're gone anyway.

    Is it safe to assume that whoever the top pick is, they would use one from the next tier to be VP? Like Warren-Buttigieg, or something of that combination?
