He's not my preference. Based on what I know now, I'd prefer Sen. Klobuchar or Gov. Hickenlooper, who fit a pattern of moderate left, which is my sweet spot. It's not that I necessarily object to some of the more radical proposals on the left, but my priority is always the need to win the election. I usually feel that the very partisan people on the left, as on the right, overestimate the popularity of their ideas and that slow and steady beats fast and flashy.
So my bottom line for 2020--I want some one to win the nomination who looks likely to beat President Trump. IMHO it should be easy, but I've no confidence it will be. See this NYTimes piece on suburban white men rallying to his support, even though they recognize his personal failings.
