Democratic Primaries

(804 posts)97. I so hope you are right.
If Sanders gets the nomination I do fear we will be in for another 4 years of the Orange Maggot. I too have voted Democratic for a long time and voted in the election that McGovern lost by a landslide. I can appreciate where these younger people are coming from. We felt that same way in 1972. The stakes are so much bigger this time. I am hopeful Joe gets the nomination. If he does, Bloomberg will pour al lot of money and other resources to help him defeat 45. If Joe is not the nominee, I hope it is Bloomberg. I agree with you. Biden and Bloomberg are the only two candidates that are sure to defeat Trump. We cannot afford to take chances. Trump is far too dangerous. Winning needs to be the ONLY priority IMO.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Yes many do. I don't - and thank goodness the polls also say otherwise so far.

All the candidates have baggage. I've read this. I support Bernie. You don't. No worries.
