So thankful for this forum..This is where the discussion belongs.

My opinion is that the discussion about the primaries and the candidates belongs right here. Yes, this is very important, but as we know the primaries are many months away. I think 11 to be exact, but I don't know when the first one is. Who knows? Well this is the place to discuss this. Thanks again for establishing this forum.

There are some great people running with lots of good ideas. I'm glad that we are not all picking a candidate and then fighting with anyone who is not on our team. Proud to be a democrat as always.

When we discuss, we can learn something. When we argue, all that happens is we get mad at each other. There is so much more to learn about our candidates and the election. With that knowledge, we can try to convince the "fence sitters" that our position is the correct position. Yes, some of the other side cannot be convinced, but some can be. We need every idea that can work for the next election in 2020. And we all know why that we need to win.
