I'm so happy to hear whenever one GOP voter changes his/her mind, I figure at least 10 more are thinking about it. We Democrats/liberals need to talk with conservatives every day and get them to question the motives and values of the Chump-Republican Party.

Maybe they'll never flip and vote Dem like your mom plans to, but at least they might see the light about their own Party. Maybe some of them will refuse to vote for Chump next time, and I call that a win of sorts.

I'm in Pennsylvania and I do believe Joe Biden can win here. There are enough moderates here that will pull the lever for Biden when the chips are down, even though they couldn't do it for Hillary in 2016. (But that's another story.) Bernie has his good points however I don't believe he'd ever win in PA. I'll vote for whichever candidate wins the Democratic nomination - whomever it may be. Chump must go down.

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