OK, I know we are Democrats but

I would like to be aware of the canidates so far for the Republican party. I know trump has been campaigning since the day of his inauguration so I do not need to be told that. It just seems to me that it would be good to be knowledgeable of who we are against.

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

My guess is nobody of note will run because all of the money will be behind that idiot trump.



Looked it up, and its former Mass Gov Bill Weld that was looking at running.

a one-candidate slate for their voters, should all by itself be reason to vote for the other party.

Authoritarian nationalism, no longer creeping on the right.
