And that means that the choice is usually clear long before we get to vote---so why commit if it won't really matter?

However, this year we vote March 17th (St Patrick's Day?? That's a problem for so many people I know! But that's another post...) and since I work the polls, I voted early. My ballot sat all weekend mostly filled out, except for the presidential choice. I finally chose to vote for the person I want to have more power should the convention be it be contentious.

And no, I have no intention of saying who. Y'all can fight, but I'm not getting into it.

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

Perhaps waitin on Hillary to be drafted at the Convention? While its remote, it's certainly possible InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #2

LOL! This is the 1ST time Ive EVER mentioned the possibility of draftin Hillary at the coconvention. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #15
You were saying she was going to enter the race months after it was clear she wouldn't. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #23
Why are you considering this? irisblue Feb 2020 #27
Movin' your goalposts to specify "at the convention" is decidedly obvious. LanternWaste Feb 2020 #31

I wasn't sayin that Hillary SHOULD be drafted at the convention... not at all!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #32
Perhaps it's simply another unsupported sentiment you and you alone share. LanternWaste Feb 2020 #28
