My original choice was Inslee. I believe climate change needs to be the clear number one issue. My current third choice- thanks for asking- is Yang. I remain malleable.

I'm nominally Steyer, but honestly, I could go Warren, Yang, or Steyer. Like a lot of us, my primary is down the road, and I'm betting some (maybe all) will be out by the time we get there.

I had a difficult choice between her and Yang for my first choice but decided on Yang because he thinks outside the box". I think though Amy has the best chance of anyone to win against Trump.

She's highly intelligent, and a real powerhouse.


That being said, though....


I'd abandon her and Amy - if Hillary decided to run again!

I think Biden is definitely our best option for beating Trump (although I don't think it's a sure thing), but for a second choice, my criteria would be: a) Who would run the best race against Trump (even if falling short) b) Whose candidacy would have the best impact on the future of the Democratic Party (even if falling short) - i.e. improve its image, most inspire the young for future elections - and for me, that candidate would be Buttigieg

My second choice changed a lot. Warren was my number two and Sanders was towards the bottom. Both are at the bottom now - not because they attacked my candidate but because of their hypocrisy. We need someone to bring us together not apart.

If nobody's on top, than the lower tiers are where the action is.

"Compromise candidate" would be the term.
