Yes I imagine it sounds very good if you’re conservative.

Sure

Deval Patrick just ended his campaign. Did anyone know that he started his campaign?

I was following for a while. I think he's a very good leader... unfortunately he was very late to kick off his campaign and has very little name recognition. He's a solid speaker though and think he would have performed more like Amy if he had done it right. He would make a good VP.

Another Massachusetts guv who didn’t want healthcare for everybody (like Romney), only in their unique state? Because it worked too well or something.

In which state? Or do you mean in general? As it stands I think he's going to be a clear winner on super tuesday, but I don't think it's going to be a given he's going to take it all even then.

I mean in general. I believe that Biden will take more delegates to the convention than Buttigieg.

I really don't know anymore. It is hard to judge the kind of momentum Pete can gather... he raised a lot of money recently. Biden should do really well though. I'm honestly glad this is not looking like 2016 though where it was a given from start to end that HRC would be the nominee. I honestly think it is better for Dems to be in a bit a fight right now, it gives the appearance that we are behind and dysfunctional, but even the Bernie and Pete support shows there is plenty of life and motivation in the base. I really think once the field is down to 3 or 2 the message that priority is to beat trump is going to crystallize bigly.. don't forget that most people on the left were laughing at the GOP circus during the primaries. In the meantime the base was getting very worked up and ended up with a solid turnout. There is that much more reason for liberals and centrists to be fired up this year.

While I appreciate your attempt to ascribe motive to me, the truth is that I just prefer to deal with reality as it is actually happening instead of hypotheticals that aren't really worth anything.

I have been thinking about the primary system. If the purpose is to maximize the chance of winning, I think the parties should adopt a system in which the primary calendar is front loaded by swing states (I guess as determined by the most recent election). There is no better way to test which candidates are able to appeal to voters in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Florida than by having those voters weigh in first. Iowa has some similarities demographically to PA, WI, and MI, but only imperfectly, although it would likely be an early state if you took the results of the last two elections instead of just one. I don't know if maximizing general election success is the goal of the parties or not. This method would be ideologically neutral.

My largest objection to the current primary system is that they commandeer all of the mechanism of the state to run it (voter's lists, volunteers, substantial state and local money to run the sites and machines) and then prohibit me from voting in specific contests (I can only vote in one party primary). If it is a state run election, as a registered qualified voter I should be able to vote in it. The way it is currently run is a violation of my free association and speech rights.

Ha, very true... I remember watching Romney gyrate in 2012 having to dissociate himself from his own winning ideas and policies to satisfy the mouth breathers.

Gee, I'm sure now that another "raise the alarms these progressives are going to tax me too much" moderate has dropped out, voters are ready to coalesce around one of the other choices...

Yeah, there must be some dem candidate who will just let the rich rule!

SAD!

Here's another sad one

What if Biden puts Yang on the ticket?

That would be akin to a tree falling in the forest. No one is paying attention to either campaign. Biden finished 5th in New Hampshire. You could almost say he is a dead man walking. Yang is an afterthought in this.

Or Kamala Harris.

Remember this right wing nut?

Barr agrees to testify March 31. Partly because he can’t waddle that far; partly they can pull a million more crimes before then; and partly to give him time to resign & allow trump to pick an even more corrupt successor.
