Trump has made Democratic voters risk averse

They're not ready for somebody new to take the reins as president. I hope the nominee chooses a woman of color.

We're less bold this time. I have a notable comparison that will be controversial at DU, but I'll save it for now.

I’m guilty as anyone. I remember watching Obama in Chicago the night he was elected. It was an emotional moment. I want another one of those in my lifetime. I know it can happen. However, we must get rid of Trump and yes I am risk averse. I want normal more than anything right now.

He could change his mind, of course. We shall see what we see.

Folks are nervous and risk averse. This is not a normal election. I think one reason that Joe is doing so well is because he is an experienced, steady hand. He seems like a very safe choice, best chance to beat Trump.

It has been said that Joe Biden is selling Restoration, not Revolution. I think that it is a winning position. We must defeat Trump at all costs. I do think that Joe will make a good choice for VP, maybe Kamala Harris, a very qualified and talented person.
