Democrat Nomination for President

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

... Allegedly, this year, the GOP asked their voters to prop Bernie Sanders.

This is only partially possible. There are states where you'd have to be a registered Democrat to vote in their primaries (closed primary). There are approximately 25 states with open primaries, five of which allow only independent voters to vote (i.e., if you are a registered Republican, you can't). I am not an election scholar, so someone (Chris?) can correct me if wrong.

UMass Lowell poll: 62% of New Hampshire Democrats would rather see a giant meteor strike the earth and extinguish all human life than see President Trump get re-elected.

Anything else you would like to whine about this morning?

Please explain what you imagine that question contributed to the thread.

Welp, it's starting to look like the Dems would rather destroy their credibility instead of taking the sane position.  During the debate Friday night, when asked if any of them would have a problem with a socialist on the ticket, not a single one said no. 

Good luck.

Correct. Some states allow voting without registration, but most, including the most populous, require registration to a party.

So 62% wanted a meteor instead of Trump.  Well, if they included all choices in their poll, they would have found that 72% would prefer a meteor over a democrat.    The fact is NH has a Republican governor and many are very happy with the new NAFTA agreement (USMCA) as NH does more international trade with Canada than China and the new Trump agreement is good for their residents.  Trump only lost by 3000 votes in 2016.  So the poll you posted may just be more wishful thinking by poll takers with TDS.

That's OK.  I'm use to it.  He sounds like my wife.

That's one way of shutting down debate.

I am sure there are fine people on both sides.

Thanks for appealing for sanity on both sides.  Can't we just get along.  Just like Trump.

That's abhorrent. These must be the same students who want their student loans cancelled.

Yes Kobluchar wants to be president of Middle America.  East from western Pennsylvania to west around the Plains states.

But can we talk about the real crime? (R) on (R) violence!

[Alan Klein]

So Amy's in third position in New Hampshire.  Thank Pelosi.

Honestly, I think Amy (Along with Bloomberg) is probably the one you don't want to face. And a Bloomberg Amy ticket would be damn strong.

I agree.   Don't you think it would be delicious irony that a billionaire,  one of the richest people in America and the world,  might represent the democrat party?

You think the Bernie bro’s will be down with that?  Nothing like 50 billion bucks buying the White House to fire up those “democratic” socialists.  North Carolina will tell us a lot about how the black vote feels about Bloomie as well.    Amy has zero chance, at least in my humble opinion.
