69. Ensuring Trump is NOT re-elected is the only excitement I need.

Nov 2019

I am supporting Warren for now, but if a candidate emerges who will clearly and decisively beat Trump, and end this nightmare, I will switch without hesitation or remorse. We all need to be a bit more pragmatic, IMHO.

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

I heard all of these arguments in 2016. The polls were right in 2016 doc03 Nov 2019 #13
That's my concern as well Buckeyeblue Nov 2019 #11

I think no one should have "excited" as a significant criterion. Hortensis Nov 2019 #17
Ideas excite me. Someone's potential can excite me. Buckeyeblue Nov 2019 #18
There are no new ideas around today, only rehashed. Hortensis Nov 2019 #19
You're making my argument for me Buckeyeblue Nov 2019 #31
Look at the pattern! [i]Telling people candidates are boring Hortensis Nov 2019 #35
