At some times I feel the primary season is way too long. There is an argument that a long season is needed to introduce the candidate to the American people. In the case with Mayor Pete, it might take some reluctant voters a year to finally be able to vote for him. Maybe to not feel completely comfortable, but at least pull the lever,

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

Personally I like Buttigieg but for lord's sake, he is 100% unelectable as minority communities are beachbum bob Apr 2019 #1
