Stepping away from the DU Primary forum until after caucus...

[Peacetrain]

Not because of anything personal...but I have to keep a positive view of all the candidates in case I have to choose a second, and we are getting to the nervous time, where people are running and grabbing stories that end up being more detrimental to their candidate, and the candidate did not put the story in here.. sooooooo

Love you guys. Wish everyone the best. Catch me on DU email or General Discussion.. (You know I can't completely stay away from politics )

I will most definitely check back into DU Primaries the day of caucus.. and give you a reading of what happened where I live.

1. I don't post here much these days. I remember the primaries of 2016. Not going there again.

2. I think this year's primary will be less aggressive once it gets going.

If things go according to polling, Joe will jump out to an early lead and basically wrap it up on Super Tuesday.

5. I hope you're right. 2016 got really ugly.

13. I think so too...and I have to say...understand, and all but I enjoy primaries...only happens once

every four years. I am very interested in the the day to day goings on

3. Can't blame you Peacetrain.

I'm leaning towards the same thing, it's getting a shade too rowdy in this room for this old man.

4. One must do

what one must to participate fairly with an open mind! Enjoy the break!

6. That is probably a wise decision

Something that I've warned other people about is if their candidate does not get the nomination, there will be a difficult adjustment period as they try to get behind a candidate that they had recently criticized. Not an easy transition to make in such a short period of time and probably not very healthy.

I remember previous primaries and it was so exhausting. In 2016, I started to limit my time at the primaries forum. A little political banter can be interesting and stimulating, but it often crosses a line where it gets both ugly and absurd. I have, however, learned how to be selective on what kind of posts I click on. I can often tell if it is going to get contentious.

8. I just have one question

Why are the rethugs always talking about Hunter Biden, what does he have to do wit6h Joe Biden's election?

[Demsrule86]

12. Why are you talking about it is a better question? Nothing to do with this post.

9. Sounds like a smart move, particularly if one values one's low blood pressure.

10. Smart move. I'm doing the same. (nt)

[Demsrule86]

11. Hurry back...will miss you and how about updates on the caucus from time to time...you understand

it.
