Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumIn a perfect world I would be supporting Elizabeth or Mayor Pete.
But we don't live in one. There are only two candidates with a plausible path to the nomination. You don't need to be a political handicapper to realize that.

(2,657 posts)Senator Elizabeth Warren versus former VP Joe Biden or former Mayor Pete Buttigieg versus former VP Joe Biden. Buttigieg an Warren are both solid candidates. However, the choice right now seems to be Bernie Sanders versus someone else, most likely Joe Biden. This is what happens in a crowded field. Good people fall by the wayside. The worst case scenario for Warren is that she remains an awesome Senator. In the case of Mayor Pete, I am hoping there is room for him in the next Democratic Administration.

She worked harder than anybody I've ever seen. Thank God she's in the Senate for now, and possibly there are even bigger things in her future.

(2,657 posts)Elizabeth Warren is pretty awesome, and many of us Joe Biden fans like her. Her takedown of Bloomberg was epic. I am very glad to see her now also taking on Bernie Sanders, as her road to the White House always depended on her besting him. A Warren Presidency would have been awesome, but it may not be in the cards this time around. However, if we beat Donald Trump, then we can make healthcare better, which all Democrats want, and we can still see how many items on Warren's list we can still push through. Whether Warren is VP or still a Senator, she can still make a lot of things happen and she can still keep fighting the same fight that she has been fighting for years.
Thanks for supporting Joe Biden, and may whoever wins the Democratic Nomination crush Trump like the evil pumpkin he is.

(1,474 posts)If she has delegates from my state, those delegates will have to make tough choices at the convention if she continues to have low support.
I keep reminding myself to have faith in the process.

(25,471 posts)My plan all along was to wait until shortly before our primary and decide. Like many, it's likely going to be tactical now.
The good part is that I like the majority of our candidates, so a tactical decision was never going to be out of my comfort zone. Plus, we need someone who can beat Trump and I'm just not convinced that's Sanders.

Sanders needs Pete to stay in to keep Biden numbers down.

(11,885 posts)I think joe already failed stopping trump, Putin , and Moscow Mitch, and I don't think he.'ll hold people accountable, and more likely to give them deals to escape real justice . I have little confidence in his decisions, and actions, and he makes way too many mistakes. I think he's not in touch with the times now. Why should he get a second chance now?

(21,106 posts)America elections are all about name recognition and money. I know this seems defeatist, but sadly, she never had a chance. I will still vote for her on Tuesday because of my convictions. America needs a POTUS like Warren, not Biden.

(711 posts)In a perfect world I'd be supporting Warren, but I want to take down Trump. That's why I've been Biden since day one. I think he's our best shot. Biden is a great guy and will make a good President, so there's no regrets.
IMO, Sanders has zero chances of winning the general election. He will not pull the swing states. We'll certainly lose Florida. Most importantly, I don't want to spend all summer long distracted, refuting the paper-tiger of socialism, when there's much, much more important things at stake.

(11,986 posts)Maybe if you believe that the only way to get to the nomination is to get a majority of delegates before the start of the convention.

(25,586 posts)two candidates. Historically neither of those two have ever been my first choice, but thats the way it is.

(42,641 posts)that argument can be made. But that also assumes that nothing changes over the next few months. Sanders, or any other candidate, could experience a medical issue.
