I’ve disagreed with supporters of other candidates, but only Beto supporters seemed to go personal.


Where have you been? I've seen supporters for the other candidates go personal and I was the recipient of some of those attacks. Selective memory, perhaps?

BTW, I don't believe the financial plans that Warren has made for her wish list of goodies will ever be accepted by voters. Trillions of dollars in tax increases that will never be passed by Congress. Without the money her plans will go nowhere. Since that is the case and since I do not view Warren as a viable candidate in the Rust Belt states, at least I know that I shouldn't invest any emotion into her candidacy if she becomes the nominee.

The way I look at it, the Democrats lost 38 electoral votes and as many at ten congressional seats for the next decade. We probably also lost any chance to retake the Texas House which means the districts will get gerrymandered again. There is no joy in Mudville, oops Texas, with Beto exiting the race. However, I don't want or need your pity.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
