Frankly, I am terrified.

[sheshe2]

We need BLUE. I do not give a damn what their name is.

I am one of the people that love my candidate, my senator, yet open to the others that are in the top tier. Sad that we lost some far to early. They would have been remarkable.

I won't vote for the divisive campaign in the primary. We have enough of that with trump. We need unity and not division.

I am a proud Democrat and will always vote blue no matter who even if it is not Warren.

[Demsrule86]

1. I agree completely Sheshe2...and will vote for whoever is the nominee...I will not vote for the

divisive campaign in the primary either...we must get Trump out...

[sheshe2]

2. I am so upset tonight.

I hate all this shit, Demsrule.

[Demsrule86]

3. I hate it too...I am trying not to feed the trolls by posting shitty things about any candidate.

[elleng]

5. Thanks, MUCH too much divisive crap around.

[Demsrule86]

7. Very true...sometimes I write stuff, look at it and edit it...because he is not something that needs

to be said.

[Demsrule86]

6. I can't believe it has come to this...on the eve of impeachment we are likely not to have witnesses.

And even the info from the house may not be admitted...we hold a small moderate majority in the house...the Senate is going to be tough for us and Trump could win again while we argue about policy that can't happen if we don't win.. I thought we had learned something from 16. I had hoped that no candidates from 16 would run. We needed to put that behind us. Well we can only do what we can...I will work my ass off for any nominee and hope we smash the GOP into pieces.

[squirecam]

26. We need

Three seats. Four if Jones loses.

It’s going to be difficult, but there is a chance.

We need Arizona, Maine, Colorado and Iowa.

[peggysue2]

4. I'm with you, sheshe!

I'm in Biden's camp but I will vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is in a New York minute. Because losing is simply not an option in 2020.

We either win this thing or we can kiss the country good-bye. Forever.

[sheshe2]

9. With ya peggysue.

[FirstLight]

8. I think that's why I am not getting too attached...too soon

I want us to have a blue tidal wave...undeniable change in power, or we are looking at another stolen election and god knows what else

[Thekaspervote]

10. Blue it will be

[blm]

11. I'm not terrified AND voting absolutely blue.

Trump has NOT expanded his 2016 base, and, in fact, has lost 2-5% of them in swing states.

[Demsrule86]

21. I don't think Trump needs to expand his base, he is going for an EC win...so I am

terrified AND voting absolute blue. Any of our candidates is preferable to Trump.

13. This is when the going gets tough

when they pick on minutiae to differ themselves from each other when they essentially agree on all the big things, which is why they are Democrats.

I have not chosen a primary preference, nor will I, becuae my state has a late and therefore meaningless primary and because I'd be happy with any of our candidates now running, plus a few who have dropped out. I'm hoping some of those who are no longer running will take this as a learning experience and run in the future.

Republicans have gotten so morally and ethically bankrupt and have so lost any association with obedience to the law that I will go on record for voting for a dead ficus tree, an old muffler on the side of the interstate, or a root canal without anesthesia before I will vote for a Republican, and I will vote.

[wnylib]

14. I have eliminated divisive backbiters from

my consideration for the primaries. We don't need a repeat of 2016 in this crucial election.

[BigmanPigman]

15. Whoever does NOT vote Dem had better never write on DU again!

If you are a Dem you vote for a Dem. Simple as that. If you do not than you can go run along and fuck off.

[Demsrule86]

22. +1000

[MFM008]

16. it will take a lot of booze

to get me to vote for Sanders, but i will vote for our nominee.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

18. It'll take a lot of booze for me to vote Bloomberg, but ...

... I'm voting "absentee", so I don't have to drive. Bring on the general, bring on the gin.

Cheers.

[Demsrule86]

24. Some say weed is kinder to the system..I don't know about that as a 'friend' and her sister

stumbled on some modern weed ... in a teen's drawer (bad hiding place that)been years since either smoked and let's just say it knocked them on their asses...much stronger than it used to be.

[RhodeIslandOne]

17. I agree

I knew the bashing would not be avoided.

[Tom Rinaldo]

19. I am with you on this

Obviously there isn't a consensus here on who our best and worst candidates are, and opinions differ sharply on that for now. I have my own leanings, but I have refused to go negative on anyone who has a chance to win the nomination. That's just me, I accept that both candidates and supporters sometimes feel a need to point out why they think one or another candidate would not be the best choice for our party. OK, got it, go ahead, but we must enter the general election battle fiercely united behind whoever the Democratic standard bearer is. Too many people have died over the centuries fighting for what America should be for us today in 2020 let it slip away.

[Demsrule86]

23. That is a wonderful post Tom. And I agree with it completely. At the end we must all unite and

defeat Trump. I am a yellow dog Democrat and will crawl across broken glass to vote in 20 and beyond. Let's make this promise for the first mid term if our side wins as well...lets give our president a chance and not feed the evil GOP.

[Tom Rinaldo]

25. Thank you Demsrule. When it counts, we are one

And a mighty one we will be come November if we all here make it so (yes, you could call me a Trekki).
