I hope candidates will use opportunities to agree with each other. Build up Democrats. Do not subtract from Democrats.
In terms of voter turnout, a Pres/ Vp ticket without one of our 3 leading women (Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar) is a risky road.
I like candidates who are forthright and have economic and environmental plans for all manner of geographic-social groups.
I'm sure we can find the most formidable Pres and VP candidates.
What we need is the most formidable voter turnout.
I want the Democrats at all levels to be seen in the news. I understand that some people like to work behind the scenes. But then how do I know they are working for me. Be in the news and give more town halls. Senator Feingold (D-Wisconsin) gave town hall meetings in every county in Wisconsin every year. We knew he was listening and we knew what we were working for when he agrees to a plan.
