54. I think a Amy Klobuchar and Buttigieq would be the "Dream ticket"

Honestly, anybody on that stage, and most of them that weren't on that stage I am excited about. Anybody with a "D" after their name I would support above this pig soiling our White House presently.

With that being said, I was/am probably a strongest supporter of Biden or Warren. I love Bernie, but he's not as strong in my mind as he was last time around. But after watching the debates last night, and listening to the candidates respond to the shit-flinging fox trolls afterward, I think Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg would be the winning combination. Warren has TONS of great policies and ideas, and she has an abundance of energy to go with it. But the reality in this country is that even though she is intelligent, approachable and someone most Americans can identify with, I think the simple minded American might be swayed to actually fall for this "Pocahantas crap". It doesn't take much for the morons in our country to chase a shiny object. (just look at dRumpf)

Klobuchar would give us our FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT...she's strong, intelligent and she is willing to take on most of the ideas of the most progressive. We would lose a Senator from Minnesota is my only reservation. Pete Buttigieg would give us our first openly gay VP, and he could gain some experience and age while serving as the VP. His strong voice would still be present, and hopefully Klobuchar would give him a window to show his skills. Honestly, I think "youth" is a problem running for President, more than age is. It shouldn't be....but I believe it is.

Didn't have this idea until I saw this post and started thinking. Whoever gets the nod had better balance the ticket with minority representation, sexual preference and gender as well as ideas. My two cents worth.

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