Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Originally my favorite was Harris, but today my wife answered a pollster... [View all]spooky3
(34,528 posts)32. Democrats in VA tend to be very pragmatic. And most of us in Northern VA
are furious at what Trump and McConnell are doing to this country. So, I am sure they will support the Dem nominee, but I don't know about the primary. I would not be surprised at all to see Bloomberg win the VA primary on Super Tuesday, not so much because he would be their favorite, but because they will want whoever they think will win. However, it is an open primary, which always allows for monkey business from crossover Republicans. So it's hard to predict what will happen, with any confidence.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

This rush to Bloomberg is disturbing. He is by no means a real liberal, much less a progressive.

I'm trending Bloomberg. For the simple reason he is DOING, not just talking about doing.

I'm feeling much the same way. Removing Trump is all I care about at this point.

Bloomberg is doing one major thing right: he is NOT attacking Dem candidates, only Trump!
