Nov 2019

I think she would be one of the weakest nominees we could possibly put up. Her favorabilities and her polling against Trump is actually worse today than it was when she ran in 2016, and worse than other options we already have.

That said, the devil in me says that her entrance into the primary would probably siphon more support from Biden than from anyone else, and that could help my preferred candidate, as well as other candidates I prefer to Biden.

But nah, it's not worth the risk that she could possibly win the nomination.

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