31. I think that's a good observation and a valid concern.

The point you made about inspiring people to get out and vote is important. It's easy to forget about that factor, so it's good that you brought it up.

BTW, your current favorite, Eric Swalwell, has always been one of my favorite Democrats. He's always great in his interviews, he's tough on Trump, and I thought he had an amazing town hall. I can't understand why he isn't more popular, but I think that could change once more people get to know and hear him. I love his intensity.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
