so far he seems to be the candidate most likely to beat Trump. Of course that could change and if it does I’ll switch to whichever other candidate polls best against Trump. That’s all I care about right now. But as to Bernie, though I supported him in the 2016 primaries I was disappointed in him when he wouldn’t concede to Hillary, and really lost interest this year when he hired Jill Stein retreads and bomb throwers like Sirota. And I don’t think he can beat Trump. People are tired of anger and yelling.

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

Yes. It would be a much more interesting thread if the subject line was highplainsdem Sep 2019 #4

Sounds like a great question for another thread StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #10
