No federal experience is a big concern IMO. nt USALiberal Mar 2019 #24
Normally experience would be an issue for me, but this is not a normal election marylandblue Mar 2019 #37
Good points!! nt USALiberal Mar 2019 #38
I agree. I also would stipulate that rump had zero experience when he ran and crowed about it. ... SWBTATTReg Mar 2019 #75

Polls this early out are of limited value. marylandblue Mar 2019 #106
Of course they are. Especially when your candidate is at 1%. louis c Mar 2019 #107
