I was worried about that too but it doesn't seem like anyone is voting for him or Biden much at all anyway despite how "electable" they keep telling everyone they are.

I'll still vote for either if they win the primaries.

I would vote for any of the candidates.

I think Pete is fake AF, but honestly the most electable. He does God-n-guns better than trump so he can keep throwing that right back at him. He's gay so people can act like they're woke by voting for him but he doesn't really look or act gay so he's pretty safe. He speaks intelligently and calmly so I really think he could pull in the anti trump vote. Also he speaks to working class people and middle America which the others don't as much.

@MsAl I’d say the gay thing would eventually do him in.. It’s not the leftist votes, though they sat on their (fuckin) hands for Hillary, it’s the weird, seemingly ‘partyless’ folks that can’t stand politics … yet never miss an opportunity to vote or give their opinions.

An upper-echelon Dem I know said ‘Pete can do OK,’ ‘Until that Gore-like kiss on stage’... I’d not thought that far ahead ..but highly assume this nation’s not ready for that ..I appreciate his calm, reasoned demeanor, but he’s too stiff, too guarded, robotic. I don’t see that answering trump’s aggressive belligerence..

Shit, you or I could do a better job than trump … so (at least in my case) the bar’s not that high

@Varn I work in a nursing home in a conservative area. I have heard his name tossed around by the ones who aren't Trumpers. I even here Republicans trying to say how they like the gays these days. I really think it's his biggest asset.

@MsAl Old enough for a nursing home, yet still engaged ..my mother says ‘he’d have all the old mother’s votes, then they’d want to find him a wife.’ Policy wise, he’s right on. Logistically, not. I wouldn’t trust any ‘republican,’ likely never again..

@Varn I'm for Warren or Bernie. I'm tired of the democrats doing watered down crap to appease the Republicans. I just think he's electable.
Also the Chasten vs Melania memes would be amazing

@MsAl It’s the bane of our binary system, the most active and agitated from each party often put forth their most radical candidate. Republicans and their associated money can ram theirs through. Democrats can’t.

Obama was once the choice of our leftists. Problem was, to accomplish anything, he had to negotiate with the uglies. After doing so, he lost his purity in the eyes of our ..puritans.

Personally, I’m doing well, and likely would continue to with even more trump… If we’re brought either Sanders or Warren, we’ll experience an even harsher lesson

They've been almost even both times. I do hope Bernie wins. I like his policy ideas.

@MsAl Mayor Pete has little support among blacks. He's unlikely to do well in large swaths of the US, including California. Mayor Pete doesn't have a chance.
