I have been thinking this, these "x can't win" discussions

will play into the Repuke's and Putin's hands if they can steal it. You know they will try. If they succeed they will say, "See, you even said so yourself."

Our cat should be able to beat Drumpf and instead of tweeting 14 hours a day she would sleep. Unfortunately she isn't old enough.

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

period. End of story. I don't say this because I hate Bernie, I say it because I know these states, I worked them for 25 years. FL, NC and GA are off the table and some moderate House seats with them. He is the least likely candidate to win here. Now, could I be wrong? yeah. Am I? No. His politics don't play here. It's why moderate candidates did so well here in 18 and 19. I'll vote for him but that's about it. I'm a Democrat. I'm not a Democratic Socialist

Instead of wringing our hands over what can’t be done perhaps we should spend some energy educating our southeastern friends and families on why the pattern of ignorantly voting against our own interests is not an endearing quality to their fellow northeastern, northwestern and southwestern Americans. It’s what I do when visiting Tennessee.

Um, have you noticed how many states NOT in the southeast voted for the asshat?

Perhaps you should branch out on your “education “ tour.
