Here's hoping that December brings a smaller stage.

So, this Wednesday we will once again have 10 candidates on stage.
But, so far, only 6 have qualified for the December debate.

I hope it stays that way.
The fewer the better for me. Six is plenty.

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

It's a waste of financial resources and bandwidth to have so many candidates on the stage this late in the primary. Also, it's not like they carpool. The carbon footprint of this primary is way too big. I wish they would sit down and talk and more of them would step aside sooner.

Imagine having 45 minutes each of:
Biden vs Warren
Sanders vs Klobuchar
Buttigieg vs Harris

You would learn so much more about all six of them if they did it that way.
