I Am For Joe, But I Will Support Whoever We Pick.

...If possible I will work for that person, I will send money, and I will talk to those who will listen. What matters more than Joe, is that we get rid of Trump. Trump is no good, and he is "evil deep down." There is so much proof of that "evil", that we need not go into it. But the bottom line is the same it was 6 months ago, and will be the bottom line 6 months from now, 12 months from now, and 17 months from now, when we have the next Presidential Election.

...In order to win, from this point of view 17 months out, we must stay united and together for the final battle. No matter what happens in the next 17 months, we must work together to win. Another 4 years of Trump, after this 4, could destroy this county for good. It might not, and that is completely honest. But he is a mean, vicious, and selfish person who was really not elected legally to be President of the United States. While our present view is the Primary Elections, we must be focused ultimately on winning. Not just for our good, but for all the people who live here and those people who admire this country.

Thank You for reading this,

Stuart

To me it seems like you can find something wrong with all the candidates. Who will fight hardest for the middle class, who will take big money, who is a corporate Democrat, who has the best chance of winning and beating Trump, who is best for climate change, who cares most about helping the poorest Americans, who can we trust most to do what they say they will do - it seems like each criterion has a different candidate. I will vote for the Democrat that wins the primary and try to be as enthusiastic as I can. Personally I thing you should pick the candidate that best aligns with your own world view unless you are in a battleground state where you may put elect-ability ahead of your preferred candidate to beat Trump.

6. I Feel The Bern But Concur With You, As Does Senator Sanders

Let's all remember that he was first to sign the candidate's pledge to support the eventual nominee.

I supported Sanders in 2016 but voted for Clinton in the general without compunction. I have not regretted that vote for one single solitary second.

While I firmly believe Bernie gives us the best chance of doing so, I respect your choice and call to stay united in our #1 goal to defeat that POS occupying the White House.

9. Remember the Circus of 2016

Remember all of the GOP wannabes in 2016. Remember the kids table debates. Not a single one of them was qualified or capable, and the horror of it all was the least qualified and least capable won. Thank God for Xanax.

Now the Dems face a similar problem, but this time almost all of them could do the job. Not a nutjob (well maybe one or two) in the bunch.

I would love to see Warren as president. Her impact for good on our nation would be significant. I don't want to see her as VP. That would severely hurt her effectiveness. A cabinet job, say AG, would be a delight to watch. The only risk is losing one Dem in the Senate if a Republican remains as governor of Mass. at the time.

Biden could hit the ground running day one and I would be happy with him also, but he is towing a lot of baggage.

I'm Bernie'd out. I like him but I think he has a lower chance of winning.

As far north in Alaska as possible. Perhaps northern Greenland if Alaska won't take him. Maybe the desert of Australia, and alone with his group 500 miles from nowhere.

13. I'd vote for Biden over Trump, but he's not near the top of my list for Dem primary candidates.

Biden is way too buddy-buddy with Republicans. He thinks they will return to some kind of civility and fairness when Trump is gone. This is terribly naive.

We need new blood at the leadership of the Dem party. We need someone who will fight the Republicans, not compromise with them at the start of negotiations.

Whoever the nominee is, that person will need everyone's support. After the convention, all Democrats should immediately begin to support our nominee with everything they can do.

That's how we will win.
