Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumHusband and I just dropped off our ballots voting for Biden
We were Warren supporters up until Saturday when I changed my mind. Hubs decided today after giving it a lot of thought over the weekend.
I still love Elizabeth and believe that she would have had a clear and strong presidency. But this is politics and the very first time I'm voting my head instead of my head & heart. I've been through those election seasons that brought us Nixon, Reagan and the Bushes.
Being in a Super Tuesday state this year sucks.

(22,756 posts)both for Biden... except we had 2 justices come to our house with ballots and waited while we voted (my partner wasn't able to go out)
even though it won't mean a whole lot in Vermont... it felt pretty nice to vote Biden!!!

I'll be interested to see where CO ends up. The Sanders folks have long claimed they have it "sewn up" but I'm not at all sure of that.

When it comes to politics, Joe is my first love and in this situation, I do believe he is our best chance to beat Trump.

(6,544 posts)Because I have the luxury of waiting a couple of more weeks to vote. But I understand, and if I still lived in CA, I'd be going to Joe, for sure. I sadly doubt that Liz will be able to get through the very narrow path of the nomination that is left open to her. IMO, that would require second place in TX or CA, at least, and beating Sanders in MA. I think she'll win her home, but the others look unlikely. I hope when she goes out of the race, she endorses, as she has already made clear she is, a real Democrat.

(6,544 posts)I'd prefer to be in the thick of it myself. GA used to be part of Super Tuesday, now I have to sit, watch and hope people make the right decisions, since so many votes on the line

(1,301 posts)I finally moved from undecided to Warren after her great debate performance. I'm considering switching to Biden by tomorrow though for strategic reasons.

(46,166 posts)We had so many candidates - a deep bench. But it's led to a dilemma for us, too.

(23,340 posts)I'd be happy with Pete or Amy as prez, but my voting job has gotten a lot simpler with recent drops (even tho I was an "Amy-bro" ).
DU changed my preference from Amy to Undecided today. So I picked a new preference.
We just have to get rid of Trump.

(23,340 posts)... it can split the vote among superb candidates, and produce puzzling results. Fortunately, that seems to have sorted itself out. Hopefully there are not too many absentee ballots submitted for "suspended" candidates.
My choice, due Mar 10, is now clear. I don't have to "agonize" over equally-appealing candidates.
Tonight should be entertaining, once the polls start closing in their time-zones.

(31,261 posts)For two democratic primary cycles in a row, we have a critical role. Good spot to be in. I believe this time we will finish the deal by delivering Florida in the General to the Blue column.

(33,521 posts)It really pisses me off.
I think a much more fair approach to choosing the nominee would be a 50 state single day primary, with the top four going to a second primary and the top two being chosen among the latter.
In New Jersey, our choice will be like an election in the old East Germany. Vote for candidate A or candidate A.

(46,166 posts)I've been listening to discussions tonight. Chris Hayes brought out the fact that if Bloomberg stayed on his original philosophy path, to neutralize Sanders, then Bloomberg should drop out tonight. But the word is that he's staying in. I heard that after tomorrow he has no ad buys scheduled. So we'll see where he stands tomorrow.
By the same argument that Hayes made about Bloomberg, then Warren should be dropping out tonight and throw support to Sanders - imo. But she's polling 2nd in California so she's hanging in there.
This feels far from over. Jersey voters could wind up being the king makers. What a year!

(33,521 posts)I'm sorry, but a promise that I might be able to choose between two candidates determined by States that either went for Trump or nearly went for Trump is unsatisfying to me.
I have been disenfranchised, and I'm not particularly happy about it.

(17,984 posts)Keep in mind what a great Cabinet they would create. Each one is well qualified as Specialists in their own area. Think about the wealth the next President can choose. Not one has been in the whole group.
