And not happy with the potshot attacks from those who were NOT genuine, but calculating.

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

the swearing was a big turn-off for many CountAllVotes Nov 2019 #42

The problem was that, before El Paso, he was a "no-issue" candidate... brooklynite Nov 2019 #66

You conveniently ignored his detailed climate change plan which he announced in April. dalton99a Nov 2019 #74

I'm willing to bet if you asked 100 voters.... brooklynite Nov 2019 #75

He talked about it wherever he went - e.g. look at his videos in Iowa dalton99a Nov 2019 #76

Sorry too. Especially liked his guts with gun issue, but don't think he was seasoned enough. n/t Hoyt Nov 2019 #3

Buttigieg received a total of 8,515 votes in his most recent election. Beto: 4,045,632 votes. dalton99a Nov 2019 #4

This! RLG Nov 2019 #6

Completely meaningless metric to cite scheming daemons Nov 2019 #24

Apples and oranges customerserviceguy Nov 2019 #45

No idea why the media dumped Beto to make Pete their darling, redqueen Nov 2019 #5

Me too. He speaks to my head and heart on gun violence. BeckyDem Nov 2019 #7

Wait, you're comparing voting for the Dem nominee to a root canal? cwydro Nov 2019 #8

Bizarre comment RhodeIslandOne Nov 2019 #10

I didn't say I wasn't going to vote. RLG Nov 2019 #12

No, you compared voting for a Democratic candidate to a root canal. cwydro Nov 2019 #13

Why is this a problem for you? RLG Nov 2019 #15

I think it's your problem, that you have so little enthusiasm for our Democratic candidates. cwydro Nov 2019 #16

So, you're getting personal because I haven't posted since 2002? RLG Nov 2019 #17

I said nothing personal. cwydro Nov 2019 #21

I don't see why a person has to be 'enthusiastic' about voting. pangaia Nov 2019 #30

Yeah, I think it's the root canal comparison that really gets me. That being said - cwydro Nov 2019 #32

I can 100% understand why you would be psyched.. And glad for you both ! :)) pangaia Nov 2019 #33

It's bizarre that that every one of the remaining candidates you find that distasteful. n/m RhodeIslandOne Nov 2019 #18

I don't find anyone "distasteful" RLG Nov 2019 #22

Root canal? That's pretty distasteful. RhodeIslandOne Nov 2019 #25

I was a Stacey Abrams fan. RLG Nov 2019 #37

You've mentioned Buttigieg several times. cwydro Nov 2019 #41

Why does this matter to you that I mentioned him? RLG Nov 2019 #43

I agree with RLG... El Supremo Nov 2019 #40

Yeah, that struck me as odd, too. nt tblue37 Nov 2019 #56

This is a bizarre comment RhodeIslandOne Nov 2019 #11

I don't hate anyone. RLG Nov 2019 #14

I wish Al Franken was running. StevieM Nov 2019 #20

I agree about Franken.. don't really know Steyer... pangaia Nov 2019 #35

I thought so too BannonsLiver Nov 2019 #55

I'm with you, RLG! Cha Nov 2019 #23

Surely you don't feel that voting for a Dem nominee is like a root canal? cwydro Nov 2019 #29

I'm sorry you thought my "root canal" reference was extreme RLG Nov 2019 #38

I support your opinion. I don't agree much but LakeArenal Nov 2019 #53

This site is overrun with self appointed commissars, for your own sanity don't engage just ignore Marengo Nov 2019 #61

It's not a word choice I would've used but it's your opinion and you're entitled to it MustLoveBeagles Nov 2019 #62

So sorry to hear Beto is leaving the campaign... sacto95834 Nov 2019 #26

That "young charismatic leader" is Buttigieg, I guess. Whatever. RLG Nov 2019 #39

Pete is fantastic! You are so right. Tipperary Nov 2019 #46

I am too; I like him and he has a lot to offer - The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2019 #28

I had a feeling this would happen MustLoveBeagles Nov 2019 #31

Me too.. Mike Nelson Nov 2019 #34

I have a few very close friends in El Paso....people who's opinions I respect... pangaia Nov 2019 #36

I was a first day donor to Beto and got a really nice e-mail from the campaign Gothmog Nov 2019 #47

He ran a positive campaign. Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Good luck to him. Capt. America Nov 2019 #48

I'm glad he quit. His gun confiscation plan was and is a disaster. aikoaiko Nov 2019 #49

Now you can safely commune with the most important thing in your life dalton99a Nov 2019 #50

Beto was coming for my waffle maker, too? aikoaiko Nov 2019 #57

+1000000 BannonsLiver Nov 2019 #60

Yep. Gun fetishists didn't like that at all. BannonsLiver Nov 2019 #59

Well it was Beto who thought ARs were imbued with powers unlike other guns aikoaiko Nov 2019 #67

I hope the next President makes him czar of guns n/m RhodeIslandOne Nov 2019 #68

That's the ticket . aikoaiko Nov 2019 #69

Perhaps he could be appointed to head the ATF MustLoveBeagles Nov 2019 #70

He coulda been a contenda tirebiter Nov 2019 #51

The biggest thing I lament is the potential of Texas 38 electoral votes. Amimnoch Nov 2019 #52

O'Rourke was one of Sirota's early victims BannonsLiver Nov 2019 #54

He was ratfucked big time by Sirota. dalton99a Nov 2019 #73

I will miss his passion. snacker Nov 2019 #58

He is not a politician. He is a civil rights leader. He used his campaigns for visibility. McCamy Taylor Nov 2019 #63

His moral principled positions on immigration and gun violence andym Nov 2019 #64

How sad for you... brooklynite Nov 2019 #65

I will vote for the Democratic nominee whoever it is. RLG Nov 2019 #71

Thankfully Beto won't consider voting for the nominee to be like getting root canal Kaleva Nov 2019 #72

He had a good chance to win in Texas as a Senate run. He had no chance for the beachbumbob Nov 2019 #77

I really liked his genuineness. blm Nov 2019 #78
