A majority of support goes to candidates aged 70 or above, so all the younger candidates should drop out. Fair?

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

Primaries are not team events...sorry. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #17

I've often thought that myself. wcast Nov 2019 #2

I don't care about any of that. I want a candidate who can win a general and kick psychopathic Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #13

Except JustAnotherGen Nov 2019 #3

Yes, but they don't yet beat the total of the moderates. I'm not giving up, though! LAS14 Nov 2019 #4

It that was the case,she would not be losing support. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #8

She is losing support because of stupid questions rainy Nov 2019 #39

No doubt the media can be brutal...but she did have their support for quite a while... Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #46

If you're combining totals, then add Buttigieg and Klobuchar to Biden's numbers. Sorry, Sanders and highplainsdem Nov 2019 #5

Buttigieg ain't dropping out crazytown Nov 2019 #10

And neither is Warren or Sanders, so their numbers can't be combined. highplainsdem Nov 2019 #12

What the polls suggest is that Pete's support is at Warren's expense. crazytown Nov 2019 #22

The polls have suggested Warren had picked up some moderate support that she's now losing, due highplainsdem Nov 2019 #26

Qualitative link? crazytown Nov 2019 #29

Here's one: highplainsdem Nov 2019 #31

That is correlation, not causation. crazytown Nov 2019 #32

Well, if you're going to demand a poll showing exactly which supporters Warren lost to another highplainsdem Nov 2019 #42

She is not going to win nor is Bernie...I doubt either win Iowa or New Hampshire... but Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #6

If you add the "middle of the road" other candidates, Biden beats the Sanders/Warren easily. George II Nov 2019 #7

Raw capitalism, or unregulated capitalism, or predatory capitalism, is toxic. eom guillaumeb Nov 2019 #11

What a ridiculous OP. ChiTownDenny Nov 2019 #14

Not ridiculous. It's engendered some interesting posts. nt LAS14 Nov 2019 #15

Oh yeah? ChiTownDenny Nov 2019 #21

Nope. It's engendered the same old types of posts pointng out it's a false comparison to combine highplainsdem Nov 2019 #28

I haven't seen those OPs. Some of us miss a whole lot of DU posts. Repetition is part... LAS14 Nov 2019 #36

But some horrible math. Why do you get to add the Sanders and Warren numbers? And dem4decades Nov 2019 #34

As several "interesting" replies have pointed out. nt LAS14 Nov 2019 #38

Actually, it's ridiculous. TidalWave46 Nov 2019 #44

Are you saying that Biden and Buttigieg support "raw capitalism"? brooklynite Nov 2019 #16

Of course they don't... Joe and Pete's positions are Democratic positions...hell I don't even Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #20

Sanders plus Warren equal 31%, Biden plus Buttigieg equal 39%. No doubt many of the others.... George II Nov 2019 #37

K n R ! Thanks for posting! JoeOtterbein Nov 2019 #18

When will Warren be dropping out? brooklynite Nov 2019 #19

+1000, you don't get to combine votes in a primary...they are hoping they can somehow Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #23

If I add all the numbers awesomerwb1 Nov 2019 #24

Sanders and Warren are still running against each other, aren't they? beastie boy Nov 2019 #25

Can I play? brooklynite Nov 2019 #27

Why wouldn't you also combine votes of other candidates in comparison? Not interested in losing GE. Hoyt Nov 2019 #30

Well then have Warren or Sanders drop out tirebiter Nov 2019 #33

If that holds customerserviceguy Nov 2019 #35

If sanders and Warren are each under 15% then they may get no delegates under 15% rule Gothmog Nov 2019 #40
