Beto, Kamala, and Mayor Pete are looking pretty intriguing right now.

Just sayin...

I don't why Cory isn't getting any traction.

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

Honestly I don't think Beto is tougher than Cory.

I agree we need someone who can take on trump, and I think the two that could do that are Harris and Inslee.

it would hurt more than help.

although I thought Andrew Gillum was able to pull off being tough while nice at the same time but what hurt him was people thought he was too liberal.
