Right now I'd pick Kamala.

[CTyankee]

She's got a lot of strengths and is impressive every time I've seen her in her TV appearances.

[Shell_Seas]

1. I like her most, too.

[bearsfootball516]

2. :)

[Auggie]

3. My Senator ...

love her a lot and IMO would make a wonderful President. I'm still undecided though.

[TDale313]

8. Same...

Although leaning Harris.

[TeamPooka]

38. My Senator too. Now I know how Illinois voters felt as Obama moved up the ranks

and into the White House.
Been watching her for years hoping this day would come.

[Tetrachloride]

4. Senator Harris is in my top 5

although I may add more to my top tier of candidates as I know more.

I look forward to town halls of all. For once, I would like to attend a major candidate's event in person.

[LexVegas]

5. +1. nt

[Dennis Donovan]

6. I think she is awesome!

Not my first choice, but I would be elated to support her (or every other Dem candidate)!

[Miles Archer]

26. Same here

I have my first choice...she is a strong second. It was a tough choice, but if she becomes the candidate, I'll definitely be fully behind her.

[Dennis Donovan]

28. Me too!

Eep! I meant, "me, as well."

[TDale313]

7. Me too...

Although honestly there are several I really like, and absolutely none I wouldn’t be more than happy to support in the General.

I like Sen Harris, like her chances in the General, and think she’s gonna do well in the primaries, particularly with California’s primary being early this year. Full disclosure: I live in California, so I might be a bit biased towards my Senator 🙂

[Bleacher Creature]

9. Same here, although I could easily see myself changing my mind at practically any time.

The only thing I can say for sure is that I won't ever pull the lever for Sanders or Gabbard in a primary.

[revmclaren]

10. Same here.

ONLY!!! 2019 and beyond.

[honest.abe]

11. She's got it all.

Strong, smart, witty, professional, experienced, excellent background, great campaign manager, and more!

She's a winner!

[Cha]

23. That's important, too.. to have

"a great campaign manager". Good to know!

[yuiyoshida]

12. She is my front runner

As a Californian.

[stopbush]

13. Moi aussi.

[PTWB]

14. She's my preference as well.

While I’m technically undecided (I think it’s way too early to decide), I’m definitely leaning toward her and if I had to vote today, she would get it!

[LovingA2andMI]

15. Most Definitely

All #TeamKamala Right Now!

[JuJuYoshida]

16. She's currently at the top of my list as well.

[Paladin]

17. At this point, I would as well.

I think a Kamala/Beto ticket would kick ass and take names. But it's early. No telling what will happen.

[Sunsky]

18. Same here nt

[Hekate]

19. Same here. And, she is my Senator. ...

It's a funny thing, but the first time I saw her crossing the stage to chat with Stephen Colbert, I got a bit of a pang. I thought, "That woman looks like Hillary would have if she had not been subjected to 30 years of vicious abuse."

Hillary paved the way for this season's big breakout group of women. Bless her, and best of luck to them.

[bhikkhu]

20. Me too. But there are four others I'd be really happy to see win.

Which is quite a change from other years; it seems to be a very strong field.

[ecstatic]

21. She's my favorite, but if I had to choose TODAY I'd go with Corey.

Only because I think he'd fare better against trump.

[Clash City Rocker]

33. Booker/Klobuchar is my ideal ticket right now

Cory gets things done, as evidenced by his time as mayor of Newark. He’s very bright (with degrees from Stanford and Yale) and charismatic, and he’s a true progressive. Amy will draw many of the moderates. She’s bright and very likable, with a good sense of humor. I think it’s the most electable ticket so far.

But I love Kamala too, and would endorse her wholeheartedly if she got the nomination. The party has so many good candidates, and I’m sure whoever we nominate will be a great choice.

[CrossingTheRubicon]

55. I'd like to see Biden/Booker

I think Cory Booker would make a great president. If I could "wish" the next president into office, it would be him.

To me, Joe Biden is the perfect foil to Donald Trump and our best nominee in terms of winning in the EC. Booker would be a great running mate in my estimation.

[chia]

22. She's my senator, she's got my primary vote...

although (should go without saying, really), of course in the general I'll be voting for the Democratic nominee.

Unity. We need unity.

[Catch2.2]

24. Thank you for...

Posting positives about the candidate you support instead of making a thread about how bad other candidates are. I like Kamala Harris and would vote for her in a second! I can't say if she is my number one right now, but she may very well end up being. Kamala Harris would be a great President!

[FailureToCommunicate]

25. Any Dem for me, but Kamala best fits my fury that Trump, et al, should NOT get away with

their obscene crimes again this democracy. As a prosecutor she fits the mindset of a politician that will not just allow the Republicans to ride off into the sunset (unless they are wearing orange and headed towards a superMax prison!).

Let's show her some love...and $$:

https://kamalaharris.org

[texasleo]

27. Yup

[MontanaFarmer]

29. Love her as a candidate

Sent her some money. Amy k also. Harris is a wonderful speaker, she understands the issues of the day. We're lucky if she's our nominee. But i'm a big fan of Sherrod brown, have been for years, and his message of "the dignity of work" speaks to all. I've heard him speak on the floor of the senate regarding poverty in America, and he resonated. He's great on ag issues. Great on workers rights. That being said, I'd happily vote for any of the 3 I mentioned, and will vote for our nominee regardless.

[CTyankee]

30. I think Harris and Brown would be terrific. Togther, they would be difficult to beat...

[MontanaFarmer]

35. Please please

Whatever deity one believes in, or not, make it so!

[MRDAWG]

31. ME too

Me2

[INdemo]

32. I think the "medicare for all" was the wrong way to frame her Health Care Plan

Universal Health Care" or Improve upon the ACA.
This way it doesn't give Republicans the opening for "Socialist" accusations

[namahage]

34. I suspect they'd do that regardless.

Remember when the ACA was termed "socialized medicine"?

[LowcountryMichael]

36. Kamala's how I'm leaning...

...but I'm in a wait and see mode. Want to vet every one of the candidates and make sure whoever we choose has an ironclad chance of sending Trump away.

[ROB-ROX]

37. Why did her father go public and embarrass her in the news?

I voted for her when she was the California AG. California has "normal" pot laws. Her standing is to decriminalize pot laws is nothing new to this California citizen. I think her father's under handed comment was a "conservative" coming out of the closet; who hoped to affect her political standing. He ain't no "father" figure, but he is a cheap shot TURD......

[Trenzalore]

43. He was pissed about one comment she made

I'm sure he's proud of her regardless.

If I went on TV and admitted to smoking pot when I was young I'm pretty sure my Dad wouldn't be thrilled about it since he was vehemently against it. For her Jamaican side of the family it might strike a nerve because Jamaicans are stereotyped as huge pot smokers and if he chose a different path he may feel she insulted the family.

[Politicub]

49. Because he's an attention-starved jerk, most likely

See the family of Meghan Markle for another example.

There's a certain type of person who will stomp the dreams of their children if they aren't the same as their own. I don't see how a father could do this to his daughter, but it happens.

I doubt I could win any office. But if I did run, there would be no shortage of right wingers in my family who would put me down.

[JuJuYoshida]

39. not only does she has uplifting charisma

She's extremely qualified for the job!

[mvd]

41. She's one I am considering

Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are my preferences right now but I am remaining undecided because I need to see who emerges strong - so important we win.

[BlueMTexpat]

42. She is definitely towards the top

for me too.

Of the current candidates, there is only one who will ALWAYS be at the bottom, so far as I am concerned.

[Iggo]

44. Harris.

And I like her a lot.

[WordsMatter]

45. I wish she (and all candidates) would publish...

Last edited Sat Feb 23, 2019, 05:08 PM - Edit history (1)

...their positions and issues web pages.

Currently, Senator Harris does not have any thing on her web site about her issues and positions...



And of the top percentage leader board, only Senator Warren has an 'Issues" page on her website!

[USALiberal]

46. Not crazy about her proscuter decisions, but the moderates will love them. Nt

[sellitman]

47. I tend to agree.

Warren would be my choice for VP, although that ticket could flip and also have my fancy.

[BooScout]

48. Although I'm undecided...

If I had to pick today, I'd go with Kamala, with Booker a close 2nd, followed by Warren.

Kamala Harris certainly impressed me during the debacle of the Kavanaugh Hearings, as did Booker.

There's pretty much only 3 in the current field that I've eliminated from my consideration....Sanders, Biden and Gillibrand.

[Liberty Belle]

50. She strikes me as the one who could pummel Trump in a debate, although

there are other candidates whose policies I like better.

In this race though it's critical that we pick a winner. So far Trump hasn't bullied Harris the way he has Elizabeth Warren, whose policies I greatly admire. .I wonder why?

I think Trump is afraid of Harris. As a prosecutor she knows how to tear someone apart on the stand, and would do it to Trump on the debate stage.

Also so far the only negative conservatives have managed to come up with was her offhand remark on marijuana use, which is hardly a deal breaker for anybody.

As a prosecutor she may be less appealing to some Dems due to her past defense of some tough on crime sentences. If she were president though and a Dem-controlled Congress sent her criminal justice reform bills she could well sign them. As president she would be operating under different standards than a prosecutor whose job is to get convictions of people they believe are guilty.

No candidate is perfect. But she is tough as nails. Unlike Warren who has in my view been overly apologetic over getting a DNA test to prove Trump lied, Warren is a fighter who will come out swinging if attacked.

I've always like Bernie, but he's viewed as divisive by many, and his age is a concern to me, though he has raised a lot of money and has the advantage of high name recognition and a strong following already. Klobucher's treatment of staff could come back to haunt her if true. I don't know much about some of the other potential nominees, so there could be a dark horse emerge who will ignite the Democratic base.

But for now, I see Harris as the clear front runner -- especially since she is from California which has the most delegates of any state and guess what? CA moved its primary up to March, so our state will now be a force to be reckoned with early in the primary season. If she wins here, I don't see how anyone else could overtake her.

[athena]

51. Every time I see her speak on television, I am impressed and inspired.

I also really like Cory Booker and Elizabeth Warren. But Kamala Harris seems like she would be the strongest in the general election.

If we didn't live in a disgustingly sexist and racist society, we could talk about a Harris-Booker or a Harris-Warren ticket. It's sad that two white men on the same ticket don't raise any eyebrows, but two women or two minority candidates seem impossible to imagine.

[NastyRiffraff]

52. I'm undecided

but leaning Kamala. I'm waiting to make my final choice once everyone who is going to has declared and we have a couple of debates.

I do know who I won't vote for in the primaries, however.

[Iggo]

54. Oops.

Already said that...lol.

[paulkienitz]

56. I want an unequivocal reformer to do something about wealth concentration, so Liz.
