Our best chance is to win in PA,WI AND MI. I I gives me hope since all three elected Democratic governors in 18.

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

you misrepresent what I said Celerity Mar 2019 #30

None of that would matter if it was Biden v Trump, R B Garr Mar 2019 #31
