I like to talk about all kinds of things in politics, but one of my least favorite questions right now is who should be the 2020 Democratic nominee. I’m not a fan of the candidate stanning, the immediate factionalism, and the way the question just sucks the air out of everything else on the political table. Also, I have an unreasonable grudge against national politics as a state and county person, and at any level I am not into horse-race coverage which seems dismissive of public needs, ethical values, or any assessment of policy.
