But why strive for the lowest common denominator when we can do better? I think that we are on the same page actually. I prefer Bernie and you prefer Joe but we will vote for whomever our nominee is. But in the mean time lets vet all of our candidates. Joe and Bernie have been in this for a long time and they have campaigned in states that Bloomberg hasn't touched so they have both already been vetted a lot. But since Bloomberg is now in the picture lets vet him as well. I want the best candidate possible to take on Trump but I'm not sure if Bloomberg is that person.

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

But why aim for the worst when we can have better? totodeinhere Feb 2020 #3

I would ask you the same thing. nt LexVegas Feb 2020 #4

I think you might be confusing Peter King with Steve King. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #22

Many believe he is a racist and an Islamaphobe for his positions. He blamed Earl emmaverybo Feb 2020 #32

Racist and white supremacist aren't interchangeable terms. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #33

Changed it. Some do consider King a White Supremacist, but don't think he went about in a white emmaverybo Feb 2020 #41

That's Steve King nt sweetloukillbot Feb 2020 #27

No. Many feel Pete King's views were racist and anti-Muslim. Yeah, the White Supremacist label emmaverybo Feb 2020 #34

IN THE ARTICLE it says that one of the two is "predominantly white" which means Squinch Feb 2020 #7

Who's striving? Lulu KC Feb 2020 #36

No the headline is quite accurate. Those clubs predominantly exclude women and minorities. totodeinhere Feb 2020 #39
