Feb 2020

I will be mildly disappointed in the Democratic party, that someone from outside the party, albeit an ally, is chosen to represent us for President. If he goes on to defeat Trump I will be ecstatic.

Unfortunately I would be concerned that sour grapes will overwhelm "blue no matter who". (To be honest I have that concern regardless who gets the nomination. There is a lot of animosity in the various camps and if there is one thing Trump excels at is in dividing people.)

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

Nope. See the poll. LakeArenal Feb 2020 #9

No, because my opinion is that he's rigid and dismissive of people who don't agree with him.nt pnwmom Feb 2020 #10

It's a moot point. It isn't possible for Bernie to win in the GE, let alone in a landslide. scheming daemons Feb 2020 #11

I still won't like him. The Velveteen Ocelot Feb 2020 #12
