The interesting thing, that I have been getting from Iowa Independent voters

is that they are in no way, shape, form ,or fashion going to vote for Trump, even with the job numbers and stock market.
A. it does not effect a lot of people here.. but more importantly,...
B.They are so sick and tired of the attitude and antics of the current President. He is literally making people sick to their stomachs with his language and behaviors.

They are looking for someone to come back and be a leader, and also a role model. They want someone to knit this country back together since the right and the Trumpians have done everything in their power to tear it apart.

It's not that they particularly dislike other candidatures. But what they see in Biden is quite frankly HOPE! and just ask any of us who worked for and supported the Obama campaigns..never, ever, discount the one that gives the voter Hope for the future.


This is Joe Biden's time.

primary today, I would vote for:

5. The recent article that Biden would be open to having a Republican VP is a decision that,

if nominated, voids any hope of having my vote. I'm a D and a progressive one at that. I don't vote for any Republicans.

But he has to stop this bipartisan nonsense. There are no Republicans currently in office who are worth a darn.

There’s no way he’s more popular than he was two years ago. No way. None. Zip.

I hope your sample is not only representative but that enough Iowans join the good people across the USA to throw the malignant con-man out of the White House.

The kind Jesus Christ would have some unconditional loving lessons to teach, if he could stomach being in the same room with them.
Maybe being a "coastal elite" (LMAO) has me spoiled to a different breed of evangelical,
I know a few who attend strict Baptist churches with red foreheads from facepalming after reading the headlines. They've got severe cases of buyer's regret, ready to vote for any Democrat this round.
I can't fathom anyone watching the shit show from Trump who wants more.
But then I don't see Fox Noise, also can't imagine what pretzels they've twisted up into to maintain support for... this.

Perhaps more prophetic than ever.

equally disgusted with their Trump humper neighbors? Are they looking to root out the fascists, the white nationalists, the sovereign nation nut jobs, the child separation freaks .. or is everything going to be pretty much okay when we run Trump out of office?
