"They didn't come out in droves. And that's a problem for Democrats,"

said Gloria Borger. NO, Gloria, it's NOT a problem. It's a symptom of the fact that we have a field of very attractive candidates and the 40% undecided couldn't decide in time to vote. Many of us are waiting to see who has the most appeal to voters, hence the most likelihood of beating Trump. Just wait for the explosion of energy when we finally get a candidate!

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

NH by like 2,400 votes so dump can't afford to lose not one vote and he's done nothing to gain votes.

So Lawrence drove home that these people took the time out of their day, got in their cars and trucks and drove to vote against dump in the puke primary.

Now that is good news WE ALL CAN AGREE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And this, in part, is the reason for the difference in attendance.

They said turnout surpassed 2016 and might surpass 2008.

Ideally it would be higher than both, since both 2008 and 2016 had a competitive Republican primary.
