I am feeling so much positive energy tonight.

Yesterday the day started out with almost every Democratic candidate, even those that had dropped out, joining hands in Selma, Alabama. The 55th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday. They joined hands to celebrate an event that eventually gave African Americans the right to vote. John Lewis was there as well, beaten to an inch of his life that day 55 years ago. Our beloved Congressman, battling stage 4 cancer, went back as he has done every year.

Then last night was amazing. South Carolina! A true win for Democrats.

Biden and the people of SC soared last night. I was thrilled. Then tonight the Biden rally. Amy. Pete. Beto all endorsing the leading Democratic Candidate.

Fact. The past few days have brought tears to my eyes. So much unity. The message was clear. It is about our future. It is not about a few of us, it is about all of us.

I vote tomorrow.

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

We in MT don’t get to vote till June. It’ll be decided by then, I would think. I will gladly cast my ballot for Joe whether it’s decided or not. Tonight was moving, bittersweet and energizing all at the same time. We’ve got a wealth of talent, heart and love for America on our side. It’s all on the line.

I heard that crowd chanting "Let's Go Joe!...Fired Up Ready to Go!"and I felt my hope go from an ember to roaring flame. I've already voted for Joe here in Texas. Ridin' with Biden straight to the WH!!!

South Carolina, a true win for democrats? They never won a damn thing the whole 20 years I lived there. Shit is offensive right there.

16. In AZ we are working very hard to replace 2 Republican Senators with
Tue Mar 3, 2020, 02:41 AM
Mar 2020

2 Democratic Senators AND move AZ to blue in the electoral college.

Trump only got 49% in AZ.

A month ago Kelly had such a big lead over McSally that Republican PACs decided not to go all in with McSally.

Sanders lead forced Kelly to say he would support Sanders if he was the nominee.

Millions have been pouring in attacking Kelly as "Socialist" and, more importantly, finishing with a clip of Sanders looking into the camera with a grim expression and solemnly stating "I am going to raise taxes on the middle class" which both McGovern and Mondale promised to do when each lost 49 states.

Democrats supporting Sanders in deep deep blue states have no idea how much they have damaged Democrats in purple states.

South Carolina may not have voted Democratic in 20 years but they helped Democrats in AZ that elected a Democratic Senator last election and are already working weekends to vote in another one next election

Biden will help Kelly and could win AZ.

If Kelly wins we could take the Senate, If he loses we have NO chance.

If we take AZ in the electoral college Trump has no chance of winning.

So yes the real Democratic party is coming together on a winning ticket.

I'm donating way beyond my limit to Biden - This is the point where we need to build and let him know we've got his back. It's crucial that we give him the money he needs to roll into Milwaukee with an unbeatable advantage. Then, on to November

I'll be voting for Joe tomorrow myself.

You feel good tonight, sheshe2
