One great thing about the primaries.

We had a lot of diversity in our 29 candidates. Our candidates were female, black, asian, hispanic, gay, vegan, single, divorced, childless, Hindu, Jewish. I find this encouraging for future elections.

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

If it is Sanders, it will be the first Jewish president. If it is Biden, it will be the second Catholic president.
