She knows she won't get the nomination. I think she wants to give her full attention to the Senate trial.

I thought she was just too all over the place from the beginning, having jumped in with both feet without a focus.
I'll vote blue, even if by some awful quirk of fate I have to vote for Hellary again in order to vote against a rethugliKKKan.

See she was my fav. But oh well. I’m in for anyone but Tulsi although I’d prefer not Sanders or Biden.

unfortunately for you, Sanders and Biden are the most likely to win the nomination.

My husband thinks a woman still can not be elected President. I liked Amy Klobuchar and Kamala Harris. I would prefer someone more centrist - which I believe Biden is, I just don't like his age, or his baggage.

I don't have a favorite, and of this bunch, I won't have a favorite. I will simply vote Blue. If this were 2016, I'd be feeling the Bern, but I'm sorry, he's just too long in the tooth now. So's Biden, but my beef with him is that he's like the American Legion: they haven't had an original idea since they were founded. Biden hasn't had an original idea at all, near as I can determine, and while he's well-versed in the workings of DC, he's only one evolution beyond the dinosaurs, evidenced by many of his public statements re women and persons of color.
Warren? I wish. She's smart. She's focused. She's seasoned. But IMO, she's proposing more than most folks are willing to accept yet, although we should all be on board with at least Medicare for all and free post-secondary education.
I'd had hopes for Cory Booker, but once his ties to big pharma and banking came to light, he seems to have lost his way and lost momentum.
Buttigieg? Not enough wide-world experience. Maybe in four or eight years depending on what he does between now and then.
Bloomberg needs to save his money. Maybe spend it doing charitable good works like feeding the hungry and housing the homeless. Ditto Tom Steyer. Just because they have the money to spend on a campaign doesn't mean that they should.
I think the closest we came to a woman in the white house was Hellary. In spite of my intense dislike of her, I voted not for her but against the current occupant. She left a bad taste with a lot of voters that has set a WITWH back a ways
The rest of the field? They are merely muddying the waters. If they'd bow out now it would be helpful to the ones who are left.
The biggest problem is that we don't have and haven't had a clear leader in the running. I don't see one on the horizon.
