We are about to see a bunch of people drop out. I think Sanders, Biden, and Bloomberg could be the only candidates after Tuesday.
I am leaving Bloomberg in there, but I think he drops out after 3/10 primaries.I’ll decide after Super Tuesday. My politics align closer to Biden but I think Sanders has the better chance to beat Trump. I don’t have a huge problem with Bloomberg but I don’t think he’ll end up being viable.
This is me. While I think Sanders may be a bit far left to be honest it would be a refreshing change to have someone focused on individuals over corporations.Pete supporter...I said Sanders but really unsure. Im not a Biden fan but policy wise he would be closer to me.
This. Always this.These are probably my top 3. If they drop out I’ll support whoever the nominee is who looks most likely to beat Trump when my voting day comes around.
So BidenWasn't really supporting anyone in particular. I intend to vote for anyone not named Bernie in the primary.
If he's still around. Wasn't looking so good until Saturday. Things could change again come Tuesday.So Biden
This is odd to me. Bloomberg's stance on the issues is the opposite of Trump's and supposedly Bloomberg's main reason for running is to get Trump out of office. So as his supporter you'll vote Trump?Gopher State said:Bloomberg supporter. Not looking good for him. If Sanders or Biden are the candidate I vote Trump.
If this is your stance then you should vote in the primary for whomever you think has the best shot to defeat Trump.Pete supporter. Won’t vote in the primary now. All of the remaining candidates are abysmally bad. I’ll vote for any of them over Trump though.
1) My vote won’t make that difference most likelyIf this is your stance then you should vote in the primary for whomever you think has the best shot to defeat Trump.
If it seems odd it’s because it’s disingenuous. He’s been a Trump supporter from Day 1.This is odd to me. Bloomberg's stance on the issues is the opposite of Trump's and supposedly Bloomberg's main reason for running is to get Trump out of office. So as his supporter you'll vote Trump?
You gotta show up and vote the down card though. April 7 is a big day in Wisconsin apart from the dem primary.1) My vote won’t make that difference most likely
2) I don’t pretend to know who has the best shot to defeat Trump
I don’t live in WI. I live in IL (unfortunately), at least for the next 6 years until the kids are out of high school.You gotta show up and vote the down card though. April 7 is a big day in Wisconsin apart from the dem primary.
Pretty much. Policy-wise Warren and Sanders are some far from where I’d want a candidate to be but I just want civility restored and can then happily vote for an opponent (assuming it’s not some stupid choice like Ivanka or Jim Jordan) next time around.Henry Ford said:These are probably my top 3. If they drop out I’ll support whoever the nominee is who looks most likely to beat Trump when my voting day comes around.
I think Bloomberg is the only candidate on the democrat side I would not be happy to vote for. But in Trump v Bloomberg, I would have to go Bloomberg.Gopher State said:Bloomberg supporter. Not looking good for him. If Sanders or Biden are the candidate I vote Trump.
Why Trump over Biden? Biden is moderate like Bloomberg and like Bloomberg he isn’t Trump.Gopher State said:Bloomberg supporter. Not looking good for him. If Sanders or Biden are the candidate I vote Trump.
Because he is a Trump supporter I would guessWhy Trump over Biden? Biden is moderate like Bloomberg and like Bloomberg he isn’t Trump.Gopher State said:Bloomberg supporter. Not looking good for him. If Sanders or Biden are the candidate I vote Trump.
Understood. I lived in Chi for 7 years - really felt there was no reason to vote in the general for almost every election on the ticket.I don’t live in WI. I live in IL (unfortunately), at least for the next 6 years until the kids are out of high school.
That's a hell of a lot of human suffering from others you are willing to put up with.wikkidpissah said:Trump hastening down the wind is to be preferred to any crepe kerchiefs fecklessly unfurled against it. America should have the President it deserves.
Here it comes.............................40,000 people (1/3 children) die each day from the simple inability to sustain life. Let's not bull#### each other about the suffering every single one of us abstracts. The only cure is to get better. I'm responsible for my own - i have given the last productive decade of my life to tending aged parents - and for doing what i can to add to betterness. America is rotten inside, the fault of the selfishness of liberty. That rot has to be cleared out for new growth to occur so, if picking & pruning wont do it and the whole tree has to come down so a new one can be planted, we must do so without delay.That's a hell of a lot of human suffering from others you are willing to put up with.
Fair enough. IMO change has come in our hostory more incrementally than revolutionary but I think we'd prefer the same nice things in the end. I'm closer to your thought process than I've ever been.Here it comes.............................40,000 people (1/3 children) die each day from the simple inability to sustain life.

A non-reform candidate can only delay that process. Trumpism is as much the fault of those whose negligence made it possible as the ones who installed it and has been the case since we let President Reagan get away with declaring govt the problem. To switch analogies, those who offer bandaids for sucking chest wounds & bromides for infections (usually in order to be in on the billing) should be kept as far away from the patient as possible. Less will suffer if we do.
this aint Republicans. this is criminals. accomplices & abetters. i been warning about this since, in the wake of OJ phenomenology, i realized that more people knew where Monica bought the dress than about The Telecommunications Act of 1996, among the most shameful bits of governance of my lifetiimeFair enough.

Maybe let Republicans truly have their way and see how it goes. Badly I believe. But the truth is it might go so far south we won't have the democratic tools to bring it back short of blood on the streets.

What happened?Only dem I will vote for is Biden, otherwise independent.
