man or woman win. I am a political junkie and generally enjoy every election. This one frightens me though because I think Trump could win. I look at the 18 mid-terms and I see moderates elected. We run on what Trump will call 'socialist' policies, we lose. This is why although I am a progressive, I will vote for a moderate in 20. I want to win the general. Sen. Sanders is not on my primary list because though you might think it unfair, I simply can't get over the bitterness of 16.

He would have my vote in a general of course. And I think if during the convention it goes to a second vote...supers need to vote for the person with the most delegates...no smoky rooms and no backroom deals because....no one wins if there is a brokered convention except Trump and Republicans.

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