Do not forget, the goal here is to BEAT DONALD TRUMP INTO THE GROUND! [View all]

No triumphalism. There are elements of both of these campaigns which need to go into the national effort on behalf of the Democratic party's candidate. It's not too early.

It is becoming clear that motivating younger voters to get involved is a problem. So far, those that have showed up have gone to Bernie in larger numbers, but the number of them showing up is too low, especially when you see how large the turnout has been and how enthusiastic Democrats are about voting Trump out of office in November. There's no question that issues in which they are interested should rise to prominence in the platform, including forgiveness of student loan debt and anything having to do with the green new deal or further prevention of global warming.

Some kind of actual health care reform that is realistic and deliverable through a house majority and what might be a narrow Senate majority needs to be drafted and presented.

Who's the best person among Democrats to be nominated for Vice President? Let everyone have a say in that, and let it be someone who can rally younger voters and the constituencies made up of people of color.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
