a moderate Republican friend says that if Biden gets the Dem nomination she'll vote for him but [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the General Discussion forum).

if it's Warren or Sanders she'll vote for Trump.

She said "the only thing that would make me vote for Trump is if Warren or Sanders
gets the nomination."

She didn't vote for him the first time, either.

She thinks moderates will vote for Biden. And she's friends with a lot of conservatives that would do the same.

I should say she's a large republican donor, knows Senators, Congressmen, yada yada type people.
She has that kind of money and runs in those circles.

I'm a middle class/working class Dem, of course. She and I used to live in the same neighborhood and met at the local breakfast joint that's old school when it's busy people sit together.

Just thought I'd drop that here. I personally will vote for any warm body that would beat Trump.

Who do you think can beat T-rump?
I'm not really convinced that the American people have really learned any lessons here and
will vote for him again. Granted, I know he didn't win the majority popular vote (I'm not talking in that context).
I'm hoping I'm wrong, but I have a bad feeling about him winning again, and it makes me sick to my stomach.
