I used to like him a lot. I hope now he will go back to being an independent thinker.

I liked him and appreciated his energetic positivity. Putting politics and policy aside, watching someone who radiates positivity is a nice change.

Seems like all the candidates are positive. Positive they are the answer to the questions they pose.

Booker used to be a bit of a maverick - sort of the Democratic Murkowski or Collins. Then it seemed somebody grabbed him by the lapels and told him he could be president one day if he would just toe the party line a lot more. JMHO. Can't prove it.

Among the ones left, Gabbard has gotten my attention as somebody who speaks her mind, rather than the platitudes that will please the masses. But like anybody else that I think speaks a modicum of sense, she has no shot at the nomination. Isn't Yang the last nonwhite in the field? Looks like we shall have a white President in 2025, probably male, probably old, probably Trump. Along about this time in 2024, the Democrats will give up on overturning the results of two elections. If they are lucky, the economy will be bad and the terrorists will be active. Sanders, Warren, Biden, and Hillary will be too old in 2024. But will AOC (born October 13, 1989) be old enough to run? There is the Democrats 2024 candidate.
