To let the "TROLLS" control the dialog, there will be some problems, but we have great candidates, and they are going to get the message out for our side. When a nominee is selected, I think Democrats will rally behind that person and trump will lose, bigly!

Of course here on DU, who knows what will happen. Just remember not to feed the trolls!

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