Tim Kaine will be the VP pick. This election is not about excitement, it's about competence

Mrs. Clinton will pick Tim Kaine, Virginia Senator in my opinion. This election should not be about excitement. Too many Americans like entertainment. Get off your high horses, and learn it's time to be dull. Kaine is not going to excite you. I like that. I like boring. Politics is not about rousing you up. We had enough rousing up and style. We need dull. I like dull. Period.

Trump is dominating on Staten Island, Queens. Wow.

It's not surprising though. I was on Staten Island yesterday, and I saw a sea of Trump signs on lawns, and even Trump bumper stickers in some of the buses there. Wow.

Trump will win the white working class areas of NYC

Places like Staten Island, Whitestone, Bayside, Glendale, Queens. Places like Bay Ridge, Brooklyn on April 19. Some of those places love him.

The Democrats need to be united against Trump

Period. Trump cannot win this election. He's not going to take this country down. Period.

I see Hillary winning at the end

I made my choice. Sanders, a good guy, he has to win the Rust Belt. Hillary Clinton, with all her flaws, is the electable choice. Yes, the GOP will discuss the email crap, but she will win. Bernie is a good man, but I don't think he can win.

I think I'm still undecided between Hillary and Bernie

I will watch the Democratic presidential debates on Sunday and I think once I see who has a good record, I will make a decision. I'm tough on Bernie's proposals because it seems unrealistic, but I want to hear more.

President Barack Obama gave a good speech

I give it a B/C. It could have had more details, but he's done giving State of the Union speeches. It's the end of an era.

Two Northeastern liberals will not work. Sorry.

Warren would damage the ticket in the South. Gillibrand, probably as well. Bernie Sanders needs a Southerner. Period.

If Democrats lose, who do you want in 2020?

Who's going to lead the Democratic Party in 2020 if Clinton or Sanders or O Malley loses? Warren? Kaine? Dean? O Malley? Nina Turner?
