1. Biden.

And since I'm supposed to pick two more:
2. If Sanders runs, I'll support his choice but I personally think it's a bad idea.
3. Warren


I expect to change my mind many times before voting season. I want the Democrats to have a good fight deciding which one can generate the most excitement in the fight against the orange abomination. And then I'll throw my support 100% behind that person.

Me, me, me. Oh, you meant for the democrats, sorry. For some reason I was thinking GOP, excuse my silver moment.

Don't have any favorite, don't even know who all will attempt a run. I want to hear them speak, their ideas other wise it's just a shot in the dark. Let's see what's what in six months.

Very early likes for Dems:
1) Harris.
2) Klobuchar.
3) Warren/Biden (so I cheated)

For Reps:
1) Almost anybody but Trump
2) Almost anybody but Trump
3) Almost anybody but Trump

Seriously, Huntsman, Kasich and I don't know who else because I could care less about the GOP.

Down home, kind-hearted folksy kind of guy. Unlike the jerk in charge now.

Re Biden it’s all relative; GWB has been elevated lately.

I think people will like him less once they start looking at his record.

I like all the names noted above. I think they are so radical left that Trump gets reelected for sure.

Sure, Biden is radical left. Biden would have stomped all over Trump in 2016 and if he gets the nomination in 2020, he'll spank Trump hard. Trump will be crying like the little baby that he is.

2. Warren
3. Harris (still luke warm on her so she could easily fall off the list as I learn more about the other candidates)

Shame about Ojeda, but I respect his decision. I think he should have stayed in if only to build his brand and name recognition, but I admire that he put his small donors first, knowing he couldn't deliver on their expectations.

Harris and Beto I have no use for. Insincere progressive pretenders, and too close with big monied interests, nevermind Harris' glaring missteps during her career as a prosecutor.

I keep wanting to add “Father” before your #1

That made me smile. :)

You must know that as I type these words, just a few feet away, is an original 1968 Bobby Kennedy for President poster framed on my wall. I got it right off the wall in one of his headquarters the day after he died when they were cleaning the place out. So I like to use any excuse to refer to Mr. O'Rourke by his full name.
