BS and his followers have shown no concern with anything except getting BS installed. We need to keep the House and at least try to take the Senate. Gaining the WH without those would be a pyrrhic victory.

I think Democrats would be hammered almost everywhere if BS is the nominee. Polls suggest this.

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