Bottom line problem: No black or brown person will be on any primary ballot

56. I hope he doesn't win...he has serious issues ...and I mean the brother in law thing... would not

vote for a candidate of any color in a primary who had been involved in something like this. And I don't think Deval will make it to a General where I would of course vote for him. The things is...people dropped out based on polls...they were not getting the support from AA voters in some cases. Harris and Booker are examples of AA candidates who did not have AA support which doomed their candidacy.

I am a woman and I am supporting a male candidate... not because he is a man because I like his policies and I think he can win the general. Perhaps, we have gone beyond voting based on the race of a candidate...I hope so. The idea that Democrats are some how racist because we have only 'white' candidates remaining is ridiculous in my view and offensive. The polls are what the polls are...everyone had an opportunity to make their case.

I will say this...we should change the first two states in the primary to more diverse states...I wonder if it might have been different if Iowa and New Hampshire had not gone first. We will never know, but next time we need to rethink who goes first or add states to the the mix that resemble our party a bit more perhaps.
