12. It's boring, and completely non-productive of anything.

I guess some people are such fans of one candidate or the other that they feel the need to jump on everyone who isn't.

I won't play that game here. Someone is going to end up being the party's nominee. When that finally happens, I'll know who I'll be voting for in the general election. Until then, primary voters will be deciding who it will be. I get one vote in that. So, I'm not deeply invested in the primary races.

I'm in this forum to point that out from time to time.

If we get so wrapped up around one candidate, we run the risk of convincing ourselves that the others are terrible choices. Then, when someone other than our favorite ends up as the nominee, we have all that history of trashing that person. It's not a good thing in any way to get that much committed.

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