Is there anybody that you like in the Democratic political class? Or do you think [the 2020 nominee] should be someone from outside politics?
I think it better be a white male.

100%. And I dont say that because I want it to have to be a white male. I say that because of just the realities of the situation. I think if the Democrats nominate anyone other than a white male at the top of the ticket, theyre gonna lose the election. Id be willing to bet anything. I feel highly confident in that.
