26. Well, yes, the primary process is about choosing the candidate for the GE, of course.

Everything is all about the general election.

The one most likely to beat Trump is Biden. I don't support Biden, but if he's the most likely to win in the GE, why would I choose another nominee to be the GE candidate? Makes no sense.

Maybe I'll sit out the primary process and see who the nominee is. The only one I really like a lot is Buttigieg, but he would be a risk as the nominee.

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