Stinky The Clown

I am MORE undecided as the polling keeps changing. My only criteria is the ability to beat Trump [View all]

I will vote for ANYone who can beat Trump. So far that candidate has not emerged.

Over time, I have favored, in chronological order, Klobuchar, Harris, Warren, and again, Klobuchar.

I will not discount ANYONE, and that includes Steyer and Bloomberg.

I have decided to put my favored issues on hold. The ONLY thing that matters is beating Trump.

On a side note, Jason Johnson, who I do not particularly like, said something that really got my attention. He said that he's hearing from some African Americans, particularly some AA women, that they are making a calculated, pragmatic choice to put aside concern about Stop and Frisk and give Bloomberg a look. Like me, they are putting aside pet issues in favor of a candidate who can beat Trump.

Beating Trump is the only goal. There is NO Plan B.

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