18. Wrong...she just needs to wait for the debates

Amy may have made mistakes with staff but I trust her big picture instincts. That's one of the reasons I support her.

The last thing we need is someone who thinks they have to immediately react to every charge. If we get stuck with a person like that it will be nothing but a spinning top. Turn left to respond to this. Spin right to respond to that. Non stop. Always on defense. The opposition salivates once that frailty is recognized.

We have several candidates who unfortunately will fall into that trap against Trump.

Against an incumbent we need someone who is likable and will put a handful of major themes into the public dialog in short summary. Beto and Amy fit best, IMO. But I realize we are more of a policy-wonk party and will probably screw it up.

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