I continue to believe @ewarren is by far the best Dem candidate. But, and it's hard to acknowledge this, she's not going to win. @amyklobuchar is very capable. She's not going to win either. @petebuttigieg has had a good run. He's not going to win either. Neither is @tomsteyer.
For the record, I still think @kamalaharris would have been the best, most unifying, Dem candidate. But of course, she is long gone from the race as are other very talented and capable candidates like @corybooker and @juliancastro. So where does that leave us?
The next president of the United States is going to be Donald Trump, @berniesanders, @joebiden or @mikebloomberg. It is probably one of the first two unless the latter two pool their efforts and gain the support of Pete & Amy. That's the cold hard reality of where we are.
Personally, I'm disappointed with the choice. I think the remaining candidates are deeply flawed. If it is not to be Trump or Bernie, I think the best option would be a Biden-Harris or Biden-Warren ticket backed by Bloomberg and Steyer's money and operations, a unity ticket.
Perhaps that makes Biden-Warren the strongest alternative. I don't feel another billionaire is the answer. But these are among the few realistic possibilities before us. At least, that's how it appears to me on a groggy Sunday morning.
And of course, it remains important to add, under no circumstances can Trump win re-election. The effect on the U.S. would be disastrous. So, and I say this without reservation, #BlueNoMatterWho. Let's find our path to Democratic Party unity sooner rather than later.
