Whoever we nominate, the Republicans & Trump will try to destroy him or her.

..The opposition will use every trick there is, and invent a few to destroy our candidate. And it could be one of the ugliest campaigns ever. Perhaps the worst, because Trump & Company will lie and lie some more. That is what he does, and has always done. I think we have a good chance because Trump is "The Liar in Chief" but it will not be easy. Yes, Trump & Company will attack in every way there is, & if some of us think they won't, then we are fooling ourselves. Anything can happen, and anything often does happens. The very last person I expected to be our President was Donald Trump. And I suspect that I am not alone with that perspective.

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

No matter who is the nominee.

Gary Hart was on MSNBC earlier and he said the Democrats need to stop the infighting and put forth their best arguments and let the voters choose the strongest candidate. He made a lot of sense.

It’s worth repeating here that Trump had so little on Biden they had to make things up, even getting impeached in the process. Anything not to face Biden.
