It's clear who our party's nominee will be. My hope now is that the "also-ran" contenders (and/or their surrogates) avoid the temptation of doing and saying things that will kneecap our party's nominee.
It's a bitter pill for any losing candidate to swallow... but now is not the time for anyone to indulge vanity, ego and desire for "revenge." All I'm saying is that any kind of scorched-earth (or "scorched party'') tactic would serve no good purpose at all. It would be a colossal mistake that would only serve to benefit the GOP and Russia.

You quote an article from 45 years ago? And don't quote the context of his family loss? Seriously.

"Welcome," "enjoy your stay" are common greetings here with new posters. You might get a few more.

As you can see, I'm "undecided," and don't care for any "proof" of today's candidates

Jack Frost is chilled by that question. No affirmative response is a negative response in this case

"calling out the Military Industrial Complex" isn't going to win the nomination or general election.

If Joe is so great why are his supporters trying to shut down the process before it's even begun?

If Biden is struggling in those states, Warren and Sanders are floundering.
