For those with a favorite, do you wish they'd change anything?

I think at the last debate that Warren said she was in favor of decriminalizing illegal immigration.
If that’s true, I’m afraid that would be a big losing position in the general.
Would like to see her back off or equivocate on that issue.
Be for the dreamers and paths to citizenship. Be against cages, rounding people up, etc.
Just don’t say “decriminalize”.

primary today, I would vote for:

Sen Warren is a very smart person. She will modify and adjust her policies as more information and public comment dictate. I trust her.

Certainly some issues are more important than others, but I believe he has the most well thought out and numerous series of policy proposals of any candidate running.

An example of something that is illegal but NOT criminal is speeding. You can be stopped for it, you can be fined for it, and in some cases, there can be additional consequences for it (like losing your driver's license), but you can not be arrested and jailed for it, nor does it give you a criminal record, which is something that itself can also have other consequences.

I have no doubt that his heart and head are in the right place, but the AA community expects to see more than just good intentions.

Wish Castro didn't go on Fox News and Harris talking about owning a gun was a disappointing.
