Honestly 37 seem pretty young to me in regards to being President. I would also prefer him to have some federal or state wide experience.

that is a different thing. But we have several candidates who have experience and would make great Presidents. I will say I think he is better than some of those who are running on our side as well.

Trump is the very best example of age does not produce wisdom.

He's not too young (Mr. Buttigieg) and age does definitely not produce wisdom (rump). I do like this guy more and more every time I see him/listen to him and he's intelligent and smart / quick with his answers.

I think by now, that all of us want someone in office now that doesn't lie his a&& off every time he speaks. I'm sick and tired of rump's nonsense and ignorant remarks.

However, his answer regarding reproductive rights needs work.

When he said the decision is for women to make "with the guidance of" their healt care professional, alarm bells went off for me. A lot of the right wing legislation has been about doctors being forced to perform ultrasounds, giving lectures to women who want an abortion, and restricting what doctors can say.

Why does a woman need "guidance" to make a decision?

I'll cut him some slack...this time.
