There are two people in this nomination hunt whom I am mega-impressed with

Don't get me wrong: I'm mega-impressed with all our candidates - each one of them is better than the walking, talking cesspool inhabiting our White House. What I'm talking about are folks I didn't know anything about before 2019-2020. One is Senator Warren, and the other Mayor Pete.

Mayor Pete: I just completed my mail-in CA ballot literally 30 minutes ago and am going to put it in the ballot box tomorrow. There were two choices for me: either Joe or you. Six months ago, I thought you were a pipe dream. Today, you were my one realistic other choice besides Joe.

You kinda' came out of nowhere and built a huge following, particular with the younger ones in my household and around the country. I've listened to the clarity of your thoughts and the gentle humor and realized what a remarkably intelligent person you are. You will make a great President/Vice-President/Governor/Senator, whatever it is you want to do. And it's going to be sooner rather than later.

If you want to aspire to higher office, two recommendations for an otherwise perfect package: (a) use that grassroots skill that you employed so brilliantly in IA to make inroads into the very diverse folks in our large and growing tent; and (b) when you speak, make your voice RING like JFK or BHO; you're a wonderful speaker, but inject some drama into your voice and delivery, and you will go wherever you want! You basically have everything everything else as an ideal candidate.

Mayor Pete: you are exactly why I am so proud to be a D. When I compare someone like you to Matt Gaetz, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio etc on the other side, there is no comparison. You are exactly why I am optimistic about our party today...and tomorrow!

Here's to you, Mayor Pete!

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