So is Warren, Klobuchar, Steyer, Gabbard and Biden. They just haven’t faced reality yet.

I'm a man without a party. Depending on who I speak with I could be seen as a big lib , or a GOP fanboy.
The issue is the things Im most liberal about abortion, gun control, church & state matters, gay rights, legalization of drugs are all things that only affect me indirectly. They are matters of personal freedom and choice and I strongly believe in those ideals but... I'll never get pregnant or get anyone pregnant, I don't own nor do I care to own a gun, church and state stuff seems very 80's- we seem to be past that, I'm not gay, and I don't do drugs.
If all those things were suddenly illegal- my life wouldn't be affected in the least.
What does affect me is the economy and taxes. The Dems lose me on those points because their policies directly take money out of my pocket.
Yeah, it's not easy being a fiscal conservative but social liberal.
In this case, I'd err on the side of the Dems, as I don't want a more conservative Supreme Court.

I'm much the same, but realized lately that I absolutely don't want anyone smoking pot who lives close to me, because it stinks like the devil

You're making the mistake of lumping the Dems as one person, which they're not.
Personally I don't care about D vs R, but I do care about billionaires who pay no taxes and get continuous subsidies paid off the backs of the middle class and the poor. Meanwhile the middle class is rapidly shrinking, and the proportion of poor people is greatly expanding.

Same here, also markets are cyclical.
Anyone want to take a stab at what Bernie's supporters are going to whine about now after winning NH?

Some good articles for you then.

Old Hampshire was rigged?

Not a D.N.C. conspiracy, a Republican conspiracy to suppress college vote. States with a Republican governor will be difficult for Senator Sanders. Senator Sanders obviously thrives off young voters. The administration of NH Governor Chris Sununu has a statute that college kids may vote but within 60 days said college kids must obtain a New Hampshire driver license and New Hampshire plates and auto registration. College vote has been suppressed. Republican governors in other states are doing similar tactics to suppress college students, blacks & Latins.
Thanks to Senator Klobuchar. Klobuchar is splitting moderate Democrat vote, stealing votes from Buttigieg. Klobuchar has no or little volunteers on the ground nationwide. Klobuchar stated her true feelings regarding Buttigieg several days ago in debate. Klobuchar is like a blocking back for Senator Sanders. If Senator Klobuchar can stay in through Super Tuesday, we can
put an end to Buttigieg. Senator Sanders can then 100% deal with Biden, Bloomberg and Steyer.
Donate to Senator Klobuchar. Donate to Senator Sanders.

Delegate Tracker/scoreboard , 1990 needed to win https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-primary-elections/delegate-count
1991 to win
Sanders can barely beat Buttigieg in almost-Vermont, where he demolished Clinton last time. Writing's on the wall - the non-Sanders vote will settle on one person and he'll do no better than 40% overall after that.
Go Trump
sanders
Big deal for Klobuchar to get third.
I think here is where it started for her:
I think Buttigieg has the best slogan:
Medicare for all who want it
It's concise, it conveys a message and it speaks to everyone.
Right now, everyone that would like Medicare cannot get it.
And people want the choice to keep what they have.
It's a bumper sticker (or a hat)
I love Warren, but paragraph's don't make great slogans.
And Bernie's simple Medicare for All sounds like he's forcing it on people.
I'm still supporting Warren.
Klobuchar did good in the debate. My favorite line of hers was a criticism about Bernie's health care bill. She said something like, "Even 70% of Democratic Senators haven't supported the bill. It's a pipe dream." In today's world, if you can't get damn near 100% of your party to support a bill, it's politically impossible. It was a great example of how far-left and unrealistic Bernie and Warren's proposals are.
Another data point from last night. The moderates got 52% of the vote. The liberals got 35%. Bernie will continue to win until the moderates unite behind a single candidate, but then it's over for Bernie.

Wigins,
You know it is not that simple. Under administration of Republican Governor Chris Sununu, student vote has been suppressed. Mandatory vehicle registration in NH along with mandatory DL in NH for students to vote in NH. Everyone knew the rules going in. Just explaining why it was tougher than 2016 to get student vote. Why on earth do you respect Buttigieg? Buttigieg is a classic Manchurian Candidate. The 38 year old is bought and controlled by his billionaire handlers. Who will drop out first between Buttigieg & Klobuchar? You do know when Biden & Warren drop out, at least 1/3 of their votes are going to Sanders. You also know Buttigieg & Klobuchar have a tough road ahead going forward. See black voters. See Latin voters. We have Nevada, South Carolina, Texas and California coming up soon.
