"SNIP.....

“Prominent House Democrats who have picked sides in the 2020 presidential primary plan to soon announce they will back the eventual Democratic nominee after what’s becoming an increasingly fractious race to challenge President Trump,” the Washington Post reports.

“Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA), a backer of Vice President Biden, is leading the effort to unify House Democrats, and has so far been in touch with two of his colleagues — Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Katie Porter (D-CA) Khanna has once again thrown his support behind Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who has very few supporters in the House, and Porter is backing Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).”

Too much is at stake this time. The events of the past couple of weeks alone should be proof enough of that for anyone.

I will strongly support whomever becomes the nominee. Of course I have my favorites but defeating trump is job 1.

Or only support Dems that are socialist in nature? There are many moderate Dems that make up the caucus. I'm curious to know this.

Sounds like some one that would not vote or vote for trump if their guy lost. Or will you support Bernie if he wins the primary. By the way I will not vote for Bernie in the primary but will vote for him in November if our candidate.
