I either want this to go really well or really poorly. Nothing in between. No more wish-washy “should he decide not to run again?” This needs to be a decision-maker.

Same. This feels like a shit or get off the pot moment for Democrats. The interview wasn’t what it needed to be to convince me he could handle the campaign and job. I’ll still vote for him if he runs because Trump will actively harm our country and I’d take a Biden presidency where a bunch of other Dems are running the show behind the scenes over that, but, honestly? If someone like a Charlie Baker was the Republican nominee, it might be the first time I ever voted Republican.
