9. One of the sad truths at this time in our country's history.

Is that if democrats don't excite and turn out African Americans, they won't win. Hillary did not get good turnout from that group in key states.

I believe that a democratic ticket with two White men, or a White woman and a White man is an almost sure loser if AA are not over the top over that ticket. That is why I see Harris, Castro or Booker as number twos for Biden or Warren (I believe one of the last two will be the party nominee).

I really hate writing stuff like that, I long hoped that we were past such an outcome, but with Trump telegraphing that he will rip at racial divisions, democrats will need the AA vote to be strong in states like Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania and maybe North Carolina.

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