What's this?

It's tough to know the trade-off. Put up a Bernie or Warren and I

sit out or probably vote libertarian. I still don't vote Trump, but the dems don't get my vote either. Put up Biden and you get my vote. The question is then, how many voters are like me compared to how many of the "lefter" half of the party will actually not vote for Biden in protest. I think the anti-Trump sentiment and the lesson from 2016 will cause the Jill Stein voters and apathetic or pissed off abstainers to get in line for whoever the Dam candidate is.

He'll go 0-3 IMO. ** -- Hoodafan 03/07/2019 09:27AM

Trump needs to be beaten WITHOUT going 'hard left'. Biden makes that -- Late 80s Hokie 03/07/2019 09:16AM

He is likely the most conservative Dem, Catholic, well known -- MasterRusty 03/07/2019 6:22PM

Nothing against Joe, but I’m still looking -- WahooMatt05 03/07/2019 08:12AM

Joe would pick up far more centrists and anti Trump GOP or former GOP voter -- 81_Hokie 03/07/2019 08:02AM

I just want the candidate that's most certain to win. No farting around ** -- Hoo TV 03/07/2019 07:49AM

IMHO, several of the candidates are going for the young vote -- VaTechie 03/07/2019 09:53AM

I thought that was Hillary? ** -- Lupos 03/07/2019 08:24AM

When the choices were her, Sanders, or O’Malley hard to say that was wrong. -- WahooRQ 03/07/2019 08:35AM

I like Joe and would vote for him. -- Lupos 03/07/2019 08:41AM

He’s only a few years older and about 80 lbs of lard lighter than Trump. -- WahooRQ 03/07/2019 08:53AM

Hey HSH. It is as I said in the first post of the thread, I want the youth -- Lazarus 03/07/2019 09:20AM

I can vote for him as well. I do worry about his age and about his appeal -- 111Balz 03/07/2019 07:52AM

You are the lefter half. And Hillary's time has already come to an end. ** -- Hoodafan 03/07/2019 09:33AM

NATO is going nowhere and rumors about it's imminent demise are greatly -- Hoodafan 03/07/2019 10:16AM

No, I didn't link those things. Trump is driving defense spending - -- hoolstoptheheels 03/07/2019 10:37AM

And of course NATO doesn't have to fall to be put in a weaker position -- WahooRQ 03/07/2019 11:52AM

Harris ain't going for that unless Joe beats her for nomination first. ** -- Hoodafan 03/07/2019 09:45AM

Don't think Bernie or Warren can Harris or Booker. ** -- Lazarus 03/07/2019 08:16AM
