Hardball with Mayor Pete

I really like him and am enjoying watching him. He is so articulate and personable. Refreshing to see someone like him being listened to and applauded.

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

I haven't had a chance to hear him speak yet (in person or on tv). I hear good things about him from people I know.

I am looking forward to debates.

where I do not "actively" dislike anyone who is going for the Dem nomination for POTUS. I do like some better than others, but there is no one who I would pass my vote on in 2020.

This is such a wonderful feeling. It's like seeing the best people step forward. It makes me sad when I see the fighting between Democrats over who is backing the better person. All of them are good, some are great, and some are the best of the best. Not one of them is bad. We need to get behind whomever gets the nod to run against Trump and leave aside any hard feelings. The goal is getting back to the true values that made this nation.

Is that true? I have been seeing people tweet about him stealing other candidates' ideas but never really paid it any mind, but if that's true it's really kind of sleazy. I didn't watch the town hall but I know people here did and I would rather ask here than just take random tweets as gospel.

Here is a link to Beto's plan:
