Dr. Democrat Discusses the Candidates
Dear Dr. Democrat:
How you are feeling about the 2020 Democratic contenders and who are your early favorites?
I’m impressed big time by Pete Buttigieg, but wish he had a different last name. Also like Kamala Harris and John Hickenlooper (again with the last name! Sheesh!).
Not a fan of Bernie or Biden, but will hold nose and vote Warren, if the need arises.
I’m looking forward to Beto entering the race. He has the GOP running scared.
On the Republican side, I like Bill Weld over the other guy.
Best regards,
Not in the Prediction Biz in Bismarck
