    We've all been here for a while, 18-20 years or more, and there are times I understand glynch. I may not agree with him, but I understand him. Sometimes, of course, he makes no sense at all. This is one of those, "he makes no sense at all," moments.

    As I’ve said I will vote for a toaster over Trump. I may have policy disagreements with Sanders but I don’t think Sanders will have policies that undermine Constitutional checks and balances, that harm our allies while strengthening our enemies and that enrich him personally. I can’t stand Joe Biden’s backwards hockiness, gaffes and if he wins I will be rolling my eyes constantly over “malarkey” and “hey buddies..” Those differences pale in comparison to what’s going on with the current occupant.

    I'm not a fan of his spending and agree that how all those programs are paid for is half baked but I also don't think Sanders will get those passed.

    You have been had. Hope you did not vote early for your fresh faced hero. Hundreds of thousands did in Super Tuesday states and Pete did not care about them.
    I suspect that Biden w his tremendous baggage. Big NAFTA guy, Iraq War backer, big bank guy, mass encarceration guy could face the same fate as Hillary who had the same baggage. Hope I am wrong

    The same thing Trump puts in to fund his wall.

    Lol. If you didn't already know you haven't been paying attention. Establishment Dems are flocking to help out Ole Joe. He's their last hope.

    Well I voted for Hillary and will vote for Biden if he is the nominee. #OligarchMike will put me to a test for the first time in my life. The guy who uses the absolute ******* loophole of self funding under Citizens United to try to buy the presidency without the need for any transparency whatever. Maybe he will slip Mayor Pete a million or two next week or whenever Pete is no longer an official candidate. Most likely totally legal.

    I'm in the same boat. If Bloomberg is the nominee and California is in the bag for the Democrats, I will vote for a third party candidate. It it is at all in question, then I will hold my nose and vote for Bloomy.

    The people that are still left. I rank this way.

    1. Warren - top choice would enthusiastically support.
    2. Sanders - good choice and would support
    3. Klobuchar - Okay. I would support with reservations
    4. Biden - I have a slightly positive opinion of him, but I'm unexcited and have plenty of reservations in some areas. I would vote for him but I wouldn't support him or volunteer to help his campaign.
    5. Bloomberg - I don't care for him. He's better than Trump. I won't vote for him unless it's close in California.

    Klobuchar and Warren staying in is important for Biden through Super Tuesday.

    Klobuchar is the only reason Bernie isn't going to run wild in Minnesota and Warren works that same way in Mass. Those are states that Bernie would kill Biden in and take all of the delegates if not for those ladies.

    Amy will probably get out after Super Tuesday but she will have helped suppress some delegates for Bernie. Warren I think might stay in longer. She has money. She still has an argument to make a leverage play at the convention.

    I hope you did not participate in early voting since you were supporting Pete.
