Of this group the top pick needs to be either Biden, Warren or Klobuchar. Yang and Steyer should be utilized in some high ranking official capacity down the road.— Roy L. Pickering Jr. (@AuthorofPatches) February 8, 2020

GOP base will support Trump. It doesn't matter if many don't personally like him. Why do you think impeachment didn't lead to his removal from office? Dem base is bigger but if we don't rally behind a candidate no matter which one it is, guess who wins again. Trump & comedians.— Roy L. Pickering Jr. (@AuthorofPatches) February 17, 2020

He's not wrong, unfortunately. The only thing that keeps Presidents from interfering in the Justice Department is "norms"...— Pé Resists (@4everNeverTrump) February 11, 2020
And that right there is the problem.
Rule book is need of serious rewriting. Back in 1776 they couldn't imagine people being so stupid as to elect someone like Trump POTUS & people being so corrupt as to support him. They assumed that a series of decent humans would become president, some better at job than others.— Roy L. Pickering Jr. (@AuthorofPatches) February 11, 2020
I was way too generous in thinking there would be 4-5 GOP members with a conscience who gave a damn about the Constitution and plain decency. Instead we got Mitt, party of one https://t.co/jU6qfa90fb— Roy L. Pickering Jr. (@AuthorofPatches) February 11, 2020

I don't trust political polls any more. But if I decided to make this one an exception, it indicates that every Dem running for POTUS is electable. So we may as well leave electability out of equation and just support whoever we think would make the best president. https://t.co/pcCqunzqPV— Roy L.

I didn't see this swift Biden decline coming, although it is possible that he mounts a comeback once states with more than 12 non-whites have a say. Four years ago it was the awful results of Jeb Bush that surprised me.— Roy L. Pickering Jr. (@AuthorofPatches) February 12, 2020
Bloomberg backed Scott Brown in 2012.— Adam Best (@adamcbest) February 13, 2020
Bloomberg gave $250K to Lindsey Graham's PAC in 2014.
Bloomberg spent $12M helping Pat Toomey in 2016.
Bloomberg has a history of supporting GOP Senators. He can't be counted on to help Democrats flip the Senate blue.
I believe Trump has donated to Democrats in the past as well. So rather difficult to predict who these billionaires are truly aligned with. But they do consistently act on behalf of their own bank accounts, whether that means supporting a Democrat, a Republican, or double dipping— Roy L. Pickering Jr. (@AuthorofPatches) February 13, 2020

Sometimes politicians pander to black voters, other times to white. It doesn't necessarily mean they're super racist one way or the other. I don't know if Mike Bloomberg is racist. His Stop & Frisk policy certainly was but that just shows us who he was pandering to at the time.— Roy L. Pickering Jr. (@AuthorofPatches) February 11, 2020

I don't believe Bernie can turn USA into a socialist country the way Trump enablers allowed him to create what's basically a monarchy. And if Bernie wins, I'm guessing he serves one term and then his VP runs. So I hope he picks a broadly likeable VP if he gets that far.— Roy L. Pickering Jr. (@AuthorofPatches) February 17, 2020
Of course. Why is this even a question? Was Bernie caught sacrificing toddlers to Satan? If not, my answer stands. If so, let me think on it and get back to you later. https://t.co/1QDXXbz4Yb— Roy L. Pickering Jr. (@AuthorofPatches) February 17, 2020

If you don't like Bernie's supporters, hold that against them, not him. I find the hardest core Beyonce stans somewhat annoying but that doesn't mean I'd reject a brunch invitation from Bey.

Until Bernie's supporters do a tangible horrible thing that he explicitly endorses if not outright orders to be done on his behalf, I'm meh on people arguing with each other online cuz they like different Dems.
