Guess I'm not undecided any more. I voted for Joe in Alabama.

I guess I'm also a single issue voter for the first time.
My issue is "Who can beat Donnie Two-Scoops?".

Joe was not at all my first choice based on policies and plans, but of the top three polling now (Joe, Bernie, and Mike) I think he's the most likely to best Trump.
Ironically, of the three he is the youngest.


HOWEVER, I will absolutely vote for whoever gets the nomination.

Encouraging note: At my precinct in the reddest county in a bright crimson (Roll Tide?) state, one of the workers who I know said they were handing out more Democratic ballots than usual.

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

Could be 'some' outlanders/retirees.
repugs have some hotly contested seats on their own side.
Especially U.S.Senator.
If they vote dem they can't vote in a repug runoff which is almost guaranteed in the senate race.

I doubt much, if any, crossover this time.

This is good news for Joe Biden!



Welcome to Team Joe Biden!



We Joe Biden supporters understand that deciding who to vote for is not an easy decision. We also realize that he may not have been your first choice--that your first choice may have dropped out of the race, for example. That is perfectly fine. Many of us struggled with who to pick, but that is a good sign. It means that we really thought about our decision, and that is a good thing.

By picking Joe Biden, you pick the most candidate with the most political experience by far, and a man who won 6 Senate seats plus won as VP twice. No candidate has won more times than Joe Biden, and no candidate has more experience running campaigns than Joe Biden. Joe Biden also has huge support among African Americans, the group that was missing from the 2016 election, and the group that we Democrats need back. He won more than 50% of the African American vote in South Carolina, and in his 36 years as a Senator in Delaware, he worked with a 21% African American population. He would not have kept getting re-elected if he did not know how to work with Black America. Joe Biden is also the candidate that Donald Trump fears most.

You made an excellent choice. Thanks again for voting for Joe Biden!

If our country didn’t have Russia and Trump in the mix, I would vote for Elizabeth Warren. I voted for Bernie in 2016. I had listened to him for years on the Thom Hartman show and he made sense. Russian involvement has made all the difference. Bernie is ok with that...I am not. Joe is my man now. We need to save our constitution and our country.
