All we can do is hope when voting gets going it gets better not worse.

If Trump skates on impeachment and does his I am perfect tour who knows what we will all do?

I would gladly take any dem and I wish we weren’t fighting but every candidate wants to win and showing why they are better is how they normally do it. Unfortunately the way they show it is to point out the others faults. I hate that part.

I like both Bernie and Warren and feel like the moderates are winning by splitting us.

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