Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: I'm running against some folks who are billionaires. [View all]Amimnoch
(4,558 posts)25. Hmm.. so "billionaire" support or "Republican" Support.
I think I'll trust either of the self made billionaires running,
Or the candidates that gets their little individual donation bumps from some billionaires as well
SOOOOO much more than the candidate that has Republican support and loving coming his way.
Yeah, much preferable than the one that Republicans are backing:

"This is an opportunity for us to support President Trump. We can't vote for him in primary this year so we can help him by participating in the Democrat Primary and voting for the candidate we feel is least electable and is also creating a lot of dissension between The Democratic Party and the Democrat voters, said Shea.

Leupp said that he believes that the state's large Republican voter base could make the difference in the primary. To his point, in 2016 roughly 740,000 people voted in the state's GOP presidential primary, while only 370,000 voted in the Democratic version.

Republicans like their chances of keeping the Senate in 2020. But theres one thing they think would all but seal the deal: Bernie Sanders as the Democratic presidential nominee.
Some GOP incumbents are practically cheering him on, confident theres no way a self-described democratic socialist could win a general election against President Donald Trump and that hed drag other Democrats on the ballot with him.
It would be good for us to have a nominee like that, said Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who is up for reelection next year and sounded downright giddy about the prospect of Sanders representing Democrats at the top of the ticket.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Even though he only has a 'mere' $2 million, he still hides some of his financial situation.
