About stated "preferences"---mine says "undecided". It says that because I did not

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by EarlG (a host of the General Discussion forum).

choose to make a decision months ago. At that stage, there were a few in the race that I knew I did NOT prefer, but there were several who I thought would be good candidates.

Now, the field has narrowed. Some who dropped out were predictable; some were not at all. I have narrowed my "possibles" down to three. One is my "preferred" candidate and the other two are about tied. I think any of them would make a great POTUS, but there are others who are fine candidates. We have an "abundance of riches" IMHO.

But, I have no idea why anyone else would care or be influenced by MY preference and even when I have actually chosen the candidate I will vote for in the Illinois primary, I have no intent to make that known here. I make up MY mind using MY standards, experience and concerns. I give it a lot of thought and genuinely try to select a candidate who 1.) is, in my opinion, a good person, 2.) shares many if not all of my values, and 3.) CAN WIN.

I encourage everyone to do the same AND----"Vote Blue No Matter Who!"

Those on the list lose points with me for spending any time attacking the others. All time needs to be spent on attacking tRump.

I have also blocked Democratic Primaries on DU. Trying to keep my blood pressure down.
