21. what we have now

in the WH is worst. please hear me out because I am not demeaning anyone or dismissing anyone views because everyone has their own views, but this is my views of how I feel.I am so desperate that this don't really bother me because he is still better than what we have. I will not cherry pick a few things when we have a trove of mess sitting in the oval office. i am sure every one of the candidates has said something they wish they had not,but Trump has damaged this country so much that I can look past a few things. The Republicans sure look over their god in the WH.

I am too fearful of cherry picking every little detail on our candidates because it will be used as a tool for the wing nuts to use. So if MB is our nominee,I will vote for him 100% with no regret. We are in a fight for our freedoms and norms and I will worry about things like this after the election. I like that he is also helping down ballets too. Who else is doing that or can afford to do it but Mike? So for me, ;if the top four , JB,PB,AK,EW don't get the nomination and MB gets it, i will proudly vote for him and worry about the rest later. The Russia party is going to be brutal enough trying to pull up dirt on our party,;I feel we should not give them more to throw at the wall with the rest of their lies and disinformation.We have to play dirty and win this thing.


Like Bill M says,for us to get behind Joe even if he is wearing a meat dress on Oprah couch or losing his mind,;well the same apply to any of them.I was never a BS supporter because he left a bitter taste in my mouth after he set out instead of immediately getting behind Hillary when she won and his supporters went third party and he want back to being his true self, independent.That is fine, ;but I think his actions played a big part in my opinion of how his supporters voted for third parties and sit out.When Hillary lost to BO,;She had no problem getting behind him and urging her supporters to do the same and that is what helped his landslide victory. IMHO.

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