1. And Warren. Exciting. I'm surprised Harris diodn't do better. She's in my top three at this point

3. He may have been compared to rump and his nonsense and BS, a candidate running against...
rump from the democratic side will still smell like roses and still will be a saint in my mind. rump has spoiled what it takes to be a leader and a man. Disgusting.

5. Eek. I hope no one's considering him to be Trumplike.
Because he certainly is not.
But I agree that any Dem is better than any Rep. ![]() primary today, I would vote for: Undecided |

9. No one will ever be considered rump-like on the democratic side, as well as the behavior ...
shown by rump (pathetic) will never be emulated or copied. I am just saying that mess ups on issues etc. such as Biden's is nothing compared to rump's constant nonstop idiotic barrage of lies. Nothing.

15. Agreed.
I can suck up the Hyde Amendment if it comes down to that. But I'm not a woman, so my opinion on the matter doesn't count for much.

16. I am with you. The opinions of DU women and those in our circle of friends and family count...
far more on issues dealing w/ their bodies (and we don't have the right to infringe on their bodies (I'm a guy too)). Difficult issues are always hard to deal with, and of course my heart and support goes to each and single female and their personal decisions they make in life. Doesn't everyone ask that of others for themselves too? Take care!

4. You got remember
People have very short attention spans and now polls don't really mean too much. Wait till primary season next year, thats when they'll start paying attention.

7. Oh, yes, of course.
I wasn't crowing, merely observing. Many people think Buttigieg has no chance, but I think he'll prove himself a good opponent.

10. That poll was before his campaign saying he was still for Hyde then his
reversal, so he may drop down more on the next one. Have to wait and see.

8. So would Warren or Harris.
But as I've said on here before, I'm not much of a Biden fan.

13. Biden actually expanded his lead in this poll...
What a horrible headline. It also buries this fact:
An equal number of Democratic voters, 61 percent, say they are actively considering or backing Warren and Biden, the highest rates in the field. That's five points higher than those who say Sanders is on their ticket, and nine points higher than both Buttigieg and Harris. I really hate agenda-driven articles that masquerade as news. ![]() primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden |
