Democratic Primaries

(297,211 posts)10. Exactly, BlueMT! Elizabeth, Kamala, and
Beto were the most well received at #SheThePeople.. and as we all know.. WOC are our most reliable voting block!
I bet Biden would have given an excellent answer to the WOC about "White Nationalists".
Some have this meme going that they don't want a "safe candidate" which I think is ridiculous.. because nothing is for sure. We just have to work through our primary and see who the majority of our voters want.. like Biden said yesterday to the reporters in Deleware.
It does matter who would be our most excellent choice to beat trump because of above all that's what we need to do.
May the best woman or man be our win.
And oh yeah.. I thought about that, too.. that there are Senators running whose states have repub Govs. So we'll see what happens.

Harris and Warren are from Blue States so i'm not that worried there. Sherrod Brown was the only one

the democrats won because they ran better campaigns. Romney and McCain won because the crazies split

I can't think of a policy that will elicit more enthusiasm than this gem from Biden's

Your list isn't safe vs. long-shot, it's less charismatic vs. more charismatic.
