(130,908 posts)A primary election is an election that narrows the field of candidates before an election for office. Primary elections are one means by which a political party or a political alliance nominates candidates for an upcoming general election or by-election.

(11,589 posts)I appreciate your enthusiasm, but keep in mind, it is primary season.
boston bean
(36,221 posts)And I believe she will.
You may believe someone else will.
Gee whiz!

(11,589 posts)and might want to push back. See the first post to you in this thread.
You posted like you didn't understand. I understood that post clearly.
boston bean
(36,221 posts)You might have understood it because you were thinking the worst about me.
I don't usually think of myself in the worst possible way. LOL
All it was, was a post to give some praise to Hillary. Really, that's all it was.
Did I think it might bring out some people who disagreed, yes.
But I didn't think the disagreement would be around someone thinking I didn't know what a primary election was.
I'm surprised daily, sometime hourly.

(11,589 posts)and when I say funny, I mean please don't project what you think I am thinking onto me.
I am really not concerned about what you think of yourself, but thank you for sharing.

(11,589 posts)if you want it to stop, don't do it.
It's pretty simple.
Having said that, in the immortal words of Stephen Colbert:
I accept your apology.
boston bean
(36,221 posts)I accept your apology as well!

(36,853 posts)Your response was all about you.
boston bean
(36,221 posts)My point was agreeing with her and that I have been a Hillary supporter for a long time.
I wouldn't read anything more into it.
demmiblue
(36,853 posts)as well as your thoughts. You only acknowledged your own thoughts. Simple.

(149,620 posts)I'm good.
And thanks to boston bean, I am now firmly in the Bernie Sanders camp. I had been vacillating, but now I'm done with that.

(14,195 posts)When it comes to filling a venue, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is not exactly 2016's underdog.
Sanders, who is running as a progressive alternative to presumed Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, spoke Wednesday at Madison's Alliant Energy Center, which seats 10,231 people. The campaign had expected a massive turnout in the left-leaning city, which has deep roots in progressive politics and activism. Their prediction was correct: Arena staff said 9,600 people were in attendance.

(36,221 posts)Ron Paul drew huge crowds and so didn't Lyndon Larouche...
I'm not comparing them, I'm just saying it doesn't always result in an election win.
