22. I'm worried too. I wish there was more emphasis on the electoral college.

Oct 2019

Sanders, Warren etc. will win the popular vote. Hillary won the popular vote by nearly 3 million. How did that work out?

I wish someone could explain to me how Warren wins Ohio? And how she wins Pennsylvania? And how she wins Michigan without enthusiastic minority support?

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