Ok this is interesting

the DEMOCRATIC PARTY of San Diego is not endorsing one of the two Presidential Candidates. BOTH Hillary and Bernie are listed...

That county meeting must have been interesting. Down ticket there are a few other situations like that.

It was an interesting one I am betting. It does explain some of the talk I have heard.

that usually does not happen,

the state level makes sense. to a point, given the modified run off.

to just let the people decide, instead of imposing some questionable party recommendation. I think we're old enough to be competent to make this decision ourselves.

If all the choices in this primary season seemed so evenly weighted, there would be less agita all around. And people do better when there's less agita.

The Pubbies now have some people yelling at other people for not endorsing Trump yet.

And several California Republicans have made a point of not endorsing Trump.

one of the endorsers might be in trouble, campaign moneys used for personal use. Letting the UT go after it quite honestly. No time or resources for that.

Always got to cheat. The system is rigged to the nines in their favor, but they still sell out for bimbos and bullshit, spend that money how you like.

And no, will not repeat it. but that and a few things I heard, nope, not personal safety, but a less than happy meeting and well... compromise... and of course, that will drive people to the ballots. That is the strategy here. The Run Off primary at the state level.

The mere act of not endorsing is bold. Especially considering how late we are in the game.

There are reasons beyond the top of the ticket. But that was the first thing that jumped at me

people might actually look at that one. The only way that could made better is a pocket version at bottom that could be detached.

Especially when you're down to two candidates. I did think that people were slightly over blowing the "sample ballots"* that had Clinton only, but I admit it's horribly misleading. It just doesn't fall into illegal territory like people were claiming. Just sneaky.

*I realize they were different from this voter guide which is clearly more comprehensive.
