He came in second last time. I expect him to plow through the Republican debates. He's better than the rest of the Republicans at debating.

If Trump wins, it depends who he beats:

If he beats Biden, Democrats will certainly go left in 2024, either Warren or even AOC (who will be 35). It won't be Bernie though. He'll be just too old.

If Trump beats Bernie, I'd say Corey Booker. He's moderate and awesome, and is a fantastic debater. The perfect candidate.

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