One thing to keep in mind about the Democratic primaries

If there is something in any of the candidates background that would cause them to possibly lose the general election, we want the information to come out during the primaries, not after they have won the nomination. I know that there are a lot of candidates, but I hope they are doing opposition research for that reason.

I like Bernie; I supported him in 2016, but if he can't release his tax returns, he should drop out.

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

or drop out. It’s a basic requirement, and for good reasons. Show us the taxes.

I’ve read in more than one place a couple questionable things about Bernie’s past, his wife also. Trust me if he had been the candidate in 2016 the Repugs would have been on it like white on rice. We can’t afford any surprises!!! That goes for any candidate.
One of the many things I like about Gov. Inslee is this is not going to be a problem.
