Rank the Climate Town Hall participants and give us your reasons.

EDIT: With only one reply in 3 hours I'm now wondering how many people actually watched the town halls. Or maybe it just seems like too much time and effort to rank 10 people? I'd be interested in the reasons from those of you who don't want to rank.

Here are mine. Note that all of them are respectable, if not inspiring, on climate change.

1 - Elizabeth Warren. She was a leader rather than a question answer. She makes me believe we can do it!

2 - Pete Buttigieg. Again, projected leadership rather than answering questions. And he's SO good on his feet. But not quite as "makes me believe" as Warren.

3 - Andrew Yang. I'm so glad he's remained in the pack so we're faced with his articulate truths. Things most of us haven't thought about.

4 - Amy Klobuchar. She's so easy in her skin. Not quite visionary enough, but I would sure not get tired of her after 4/8 years.

5 - Kammala Harris. In the beginning I was way impressed with her presence. But now it's beginning to feel a little plastic.

6 - Joe Biden. He's comfortable, but doesn't address Warren's point that we're facing problems way bigger than Trump.

7 - Bernie Sanders. I'm just put off by his style and now that Warren is carrying the flag I can relax.

I didn't see Castro or O'Rourke or Booker.

3. I didn't watch (saving it for the weekend), but I do agree about Klobuchar in general.

I saw her on MSNBC the other day. She was just so easy to listen to... before I knew it, the segment was over.

She is not in my top tier, but I appreciate her presence in the race.

4. I would rank Biden number one...his ideas are doable...the others I just don't see any of it

happening.

5. Biden was no. 1 as he spoke with specificity and not in platitudes. Also, his plans were realistic

which set him apart from all the others who shared the same ideas.

6. Your analysis is fair, but, I'd add that Booker did well

in that he does come across as thoughtful and urgent. And, also add that Harris scored some points with me by addressing the obstacles to action - the corruption. She and Warren addressed that aspect pointedly.
