I want someone new, authentic, and energizing for 2020


I realize change is underway in the House, and that is great. But I disagree about leadership positions. I'm not saying a freshman should've been a leader. But there were what 180 non-freshmen that could've tried for it.

And as we saw with Obama, someone with very little experience can step in and be a leader.

For POTUS, I don't want Biden, Warren, or Bernie. Beto and Stacy Abrams are probably my top two picks if I had to pick today. Those two got people motivated and excited to vote. Losing really doesn't matter to me. They are still really good candidates. It doesn't even have to be a progressive. I was excited about voting for Spanberger, and she's about as moderate as they come. The fact that she made facts, and making informed decisions based on a set of facts a platform was a breath of fresh air from those currently in charge.

So I'm not trying to be ageist here, but it seems the newer, younger candidates have a better ability to inspire voters. The supposed frontrunners right now just aren't getting it done.
