Tonight is the next Democratic Primary Debate. It begins at 8pm EST on CNN. I think it’s important to watch these debates and see the distinctions between the candidates. Even if your position is that you’re voting for whomever the Democratic nominee is, it still behooves you to know about each of them.
This is merely my three second opinions on each candidate in tonight’s debate.
The views expressed here are my own. I have not endorsed a candidate nor have I been paid by any candidate for a good review.
Biden DE
experienced, a little too old imo, I wouldn’t mind him as Secy of State or AG (I’d like Kamala to stay as Sen)
Booker NJ
I like him a lot, but I want him to stay as Senator. I could say that about almost all of the Senators running for President
Buttigeig IN
I like him a lot. I like his thoughtfulness, I like his ability to step back and change his view when confronted with other opinions that he can then think about. I like that he’s smart. I think in eight years I’d want him as President, but he’s still on my short list for 2020
Castro TX
I like him, but I’d like him in the Admin, maybe VP.
Gabbard HI
Not even a little. If she were the nominee, I would not vote for her.
Harris CA
She’s in my top 3. I’d like her to stay as Senator or possibly AG. I like that she doesn’t back down, she doesn’t mince words.
Klobuchar MN
I like her style, her intelligence, and her experience. That said, I’d like her to remain as Senator.
O’Rourke TX
I like that he speaks out on things that others are somewhat afraid to. I like that on occasion he uses the F word. He shows his humanity. I like his stance on guns and immigration. That said, I’m thinking vice president.
Sanders VT
Not as much a fan anymore. I will vote for him if he’s the nominee, but I definitely think his recent heart attack is disqualifying unless he has an extraordinary vice president.
Steyer
I don’t know enough about him to offer a cogent opinion. If he’s the nominee, I’ll vote for him.
Warren MA
She’s in my top three. And she keeps going up. I like everything about her. I like that she doesn’t back down. I like that she has a plan for everything. I like that she’s intelligent, and willing to talk to everyone and listen.
Yang
I like his UBI (universal basic income). I like his forward thinking about jobs that won’t be coming back. I like his tech background. I wouldn’t mind seeing him in an administration, in Commerce or Treasury, but I’d have to see more of his qualifications, maybe Labor.
