I can't wait for the Democratic primaries to be over.

Last edited Sun Nov 29, 2015, 12:30 AM - Edit history (4)

Then all of this "my candidate is better then your candidate" and "your candidate is a douchebag" will end. The supporters of the losers will either get on board the winning bandwagon, or leave DU after bitching and moaning for a while. I'm marking March 2nd on my calendar.

Edit: Changed February 2nd to March 2nd, I meant to refer to the day after the Super Tuesday primaries. We ought to have good idea who the nominee will be by then.

Me too.

I like it when people say why they're supporting their candidate. I hate it when people tear down their rivals, often using intellectually dishonest arguments. There's not enough of the former, and way too much of the latter.

The sooner this is all over, the better.

Pretty sure Sanders is in this thing until he is mathematically eliminated. He's got the dough to stay in it all the way. And most of his donors can give again and again.

Does he? Did you know there is an unspoken monetary guideline that says a legitimate candidate should have at least "x" amount of dollars prior to the California Primary? It's part of that whole 'invisible primary' thing. The thing that Senator Sanders has thumbed his nose at.

Just saying. Maybe he should consider a PAC?

I suspect that there will be some that will continue the rhetoric even after it is clearly over.

BTW: I really liked your blog. Some thoughtful commentary there. Nice. Oh, and welcome to DU.

I enjoy writing my blog. It just a hobby, a way to share my thoughts, but wish more folks would at least try it once. Maybe they would like it as well. Come by often, I try to but a new article ever three or four days. Link: www.cajunscomments.com
