Since the topic of who for 2020 seems popular these days, I will weigh in . . . . .

. . . . . sorta.

No names, just descriptions.

I want a badass woman who is mature, has significant experience in government, is a person of notable accomplishments, and models seriousness and gravitas.

The less time on Twitter, the better.

Governor, Senator, Congressperson, even big city Mayor counts big for me. Of color a plus but not a deal breaker.

Picture President Estrogena. Things MUST change. That'll change them.

But I think it's a bad idea to rob Peter to pay Paul. We need our Dem Senators in the Senate. I'd like to poke the tea-baggers right in the eye and run Pelosi right at them...and then have the House elect Maxine Waters as Speaker. The freepers' heads would explode.

but simply an addition of mine. If I can pay for something with a five dollar bill lying on the ground in front of me, it would seem a bit foolish for me to take one out of my wallet to pay...just my opinion. Not even entering the discussion of gender or political leanings, but simply looking at the arithmetic.

I don't care what their race, gender or sexual preference.

The very best candidate, male or female, that will win and put a stop to this madness.

2020 is beyond critical.

Sen. Kamala Harris and Sen. Amy Klobuchar. (Did I miss anyone?)

But I'm still waiting for Trump to be officially removed from office as a fraud and imposter. And for the legal minds in our country to take to the courts and seat the legitimate winner, Hillary Clinton.

If the tables were turned the Republicans would have already gotten the ball rolling. You know they would. And they would win. It's about time we played by the same rules.
