34. Really? and how will history judge IF THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN? Will the doomsayers come out and say they were

wrong suggesting an open convention?

Or will it be like those self-identified progressives who refused to vote for Hillary in 2016, and contributed to

where we are today, with the David Sirotas, Cornell Wests, Susan Sarandons, Nina Turner, Brihana Joy Gray who still have no regrets for their actions of not only refusing to vote for Hillary, but encouraging others to do likewise.

In every critical swing state Hillary lost by less than 1%, while in those critical swing states Jill Stein received 1% of the vote.

The ones who SHOULD BE RICHLY BLAMED are those from 2016 who refused to VOTE FOR HILLARY, and if trump wins the white house again, the one's who should be blamed are not only those who won't vote for Biden, but also those who won't recognize that VP Harris was there to take over if necessary.

NO PROCHOICE WOMAN IS GOING TO VOTE FOR TRUMP, OR NOT VOTE FOR BIDEN BECAUSE OF ONE BAD DEBATE, BECAUSE THE ISSUES HAVE NOT CHANGED WHERE THE CANDIDATES STAND.

and frankly, anyone who cannot understand that simple logic is NOT THE SHARPEST TACK IN THE BOX.

Nothing has changed, and I am thoroughly disgusted by this pile on bullshit, not unlike what they did to Al Franken.

The reason we lose elections isn't because of the "vanity of an old man", but the ego and vanity of those whose ideal candidate wasn't there, and will never be there, because even those throwing out names, can't agree.

They should be embarrassed.
