Bernie last night... [View all]

I was a Bernie supporter in 2016 but today i'm one of those that would just like to see someone younger. And I think the "socialist" label would not be a help in the general election. I am leaning towards Warren with my vote.

But I would just like to say that after watching the debate last night, i am really glad that Bernie was on the stage and he said the things that he said. Some of those things he said, no one else is saying them and clearly as he is, and they need to be said. I'm glad he's in the race. And I would be fine if he wins the nomination.

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

His attacks and smears of the Democratic party cause division and distrust. That weakens us. NurseJackie Oct 2019 #8
