3. All polls to the contrary, Yerop. Midterms to the contrary.

Those who voted for Obama and Hillary, and Democratic in the midterms, are already a large voting majority -- even after attacks take millions of voters out, and if we were distributed more evenly we'd win every election. The Republican leadership is even rejected and despised by their own voters.

We won't draw strong conservatives and aren't trying. We're talking to those who have become very unhappy and worried about Trump and the direction the RW party is taking the nation.

We're get more of those this time, either as voting Democratic or staying home. Both work. The question is how many and where.

(And you should check honest sources about Sanders's appeal. Generally speaking, he's even more distrusted and rejected by southern Democrats and Republicans, white, black and other, than in the rest of the nation. We live in GA, and I've never even caught even the slightest whiff of liking from our conservative neighbors, and to many he epitomizes the LW evils they fear, including satanic for some. This is the deep south Bible Belt.)

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