There is no excuse for saying, "If candidate X wins the primary, I will not vote for him." No matter who the candidate is.

I'm not a fan of Bloomberg but I'll vote for him if he's the candidate.

The kind of idiocy that says, "If I don't get my way I will take my ball and go home!" is what got us into this mess to begin with.

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