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!"
( mods: Since this does not name or deal with a particular candidate, I assume it belongs in this forum)

(37,804 posts)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.
