Thank you, Democratic Candidates

Any of you would be a good replacement for the current president.
I feel sympathy for those who aren't going to get anywhere close. It's hard to put one's self out there in such a public way, and it's a lot of work, too.
The truth is that a candidate has to get to be known some time before the race really gets under way. By this time so many voters have already made their choices.
Good luck on future endeavors. Get going on your next race, whatever it may be.

However, I really like many of our candidates. We have a good group to chose from. Hopefully, those candidates that don't make it will do what they can to make the senate, house and state legislatures as blue as possible. We are all in it together.

Hopefully folks are going to understand that beating trump is all that matters. Biden running with a strong, progressive, Dem woman would be a formidable ticket. Focus on beating trump.

Unfortunately, we don't have a national primary vote day so, the vast majority of us will have our candidate chosen for us by the people of Iowa, New Hampshire and other states that vote earlier.

I truly believe Mayor Pete will be president, probably not 2020. Maybe not in my lifetime, but he reminds me of President Obama in intellect and temperament.
We should all be proud of the 21 (?) who are or were running.
...and a can of beans...

DU has always been my go to place to read informative and sensible information. This post is what makes me keep coming back.I believe all the candidates have something to offer and in the end I hope they all realize that their goal is to end this reality show which only can be accomplished by unity and full support whoever wins the nomination.
