17. Republicans and independents

Republicans and independents will vote for Bloomberg over Trump, hands down. So many despise Trump, and fear what another Trump term might do.
As DEMs, we all cried and staggered in disbelief when they shut DU down on election night and stole 2016. (I was working with Verified Voter advocates and we were fearful in advance of which larger precincts in Wisconsin, Michigan and PA that the Pubs could flip using Francois Chochettes size/precinct vote flipping research)
Folks, every candidate has policies we like and policies we question. Every Dem candidate so far has incredible strengths and some weaknesses, and any of these excellent candidates would make a wonderful President. The only problem is “ can they prevail in the General Election?
We can’t afford to be purists here. The future of the United States and our Democracy depends on defeating Trump,( not whether a candidate supported “Stop and Frisk” or for that matter supported Clarence Thomas nomination process so brutally unfair to Anita Hill!)
Please remember here on DU, we don’t always consider how the rest of the country might react.
Let’s look at who can win the general election- that is really all that matters. Peace, Hannah

If I were to vote in a presidential
