65. Yeah, well I am in the camp of maybe one member

Feb 2019

I care more about making sure Trump loses than having my choice of a perfect person. In other words, giving up my dream for a true progressive, because if he gets it again, I don't think we will survive.

Not sure how the most progressive candidates can add much to the ticket at all. We already have all those States that would vote for them. We need to look at maybe 10 states and find two people that could win them.

I know I am not preaching to the choir here, but I'll keep saying it.

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

Anyone who probably can't win Texas, which we may need to win. Best Laura PourMeADrink Feb 2019 #5

Which is why I believe in order to win Texas, it will be a ticket of: Pachamama Feb 2019 #7

Mathematically speaking, the nominee only needs to flip Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan bearsfootball516 Feb 2019 #14
