8. maybe because we are nervous of Bernie getting the nomination & losing to Trump

Because more voters are voting for moderates like Pete, Amy, Biden but they are splitting the vote and Bernie then gets to walk away with the win. Warren isn't strong enough of a candidate to pull votes from Bernie and she is actually pulling votes from Bide, Amy & Pete also.

Then add Bloomberg into the race and another candidate will split the votes and Bernie will march right on through to the nomination.

When candidates hang on with no path to the nomination it does no one any good. Honestly I find it kind of selfish. Kamala Harris deserves a lot of credit for dropping out when she did. She even made it to the debate stage and still decided to drop out.

It is sad seeing your person of choice dropping out but it is part of politics. We need to get the field shrunk down. I love Pete but if he falls hard in SC & Nevada I will be the first to say he should drop out.

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