The 2020 Presidential Race: Three Men and a Baby

I knew this time would come, when I could no longer keep my mouth shut and when I no longer wanted to let other voices in. But I had no idea that so many in my peer group would be just fine with the choices who remain in the Presidential race. I am a huge Amy Klobuchar fan, but that does not seem to matter when it comes to most Americans' perception of who a president should be. Biden , Bernie and Bloomberg. And then there is little baby Buttigieg. Friends on Facebook are saying things like, "It will either be Bernie or Bernie vs. Bloomberg " in the way I say that the sun will come out tomorrow. Others moan, "I hate to say it but people will re-elect the criminal-in-chief" as if it's a fait accompli. I can find something to like in all of these men: Biden - Loved his early position on gay marriage and how he influenced Obama to change the law. Exceptional. Bernie - As someone who's enjoyed the National Health Service in England (while studying there)
