24. That is completely untrue. And the idea that Trump will be easily beaten in the EC is wrong...

It is more important this year that we have a nominee who can beat Trump in the EC in the rust belt states...you hate Trump and I hate Trump,I would vote for any nominee...but you make a mistake if you think others in this center left country don't like him or like us less. Many will vote their party too- like him or not.I wish our voters would do this. Vote blue no matter who. One more Scotus pick and progressives might as well go home for the next several decades, the courts will be completely controlled by the right.

Trump has a good chance to win this thing and who the nominee is will determine whether we win or we lose. We came into this race thinking Trump must go but now it has descended into...I want this nominee or that one...even when multiple polls show their chosen candidate may not be the best one in terms of beating Trump. This is madness when we have evil squatting in the White House and our Republic is at risk.

I don't give two fucks about policy right now, where the candidates get their money to beat the crap out of Trump or really anything that usually I would consider in choosing whom I will support. I support Biden partly because I believe he is the only candidate that will beat Trump in the rust belt and multiple polls reflect this. I would vote blue no matter what of course but our chances are limited with other candidates.

We must win in the EC. If we voted directly, Trump would be beaten by any of our fine candidates, but we don't. We must win the EC and that will be accomplished in MI, WI and PA or not and the numbers are too close for my liking.

I would also add, I have never supported any nominee I agree with completely. I adored Obama but I never agreed with him on trade. He was however, my first choice. There are no perfect candidates and we need to understand this. Any Democrat is better than any Republican in any election period. I am always enthusiastic about winning and beating the crap out of any Republican, but this year especially Trump.

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