Why did I do it? Why?

In LBN I just posted a link to a Bloomberg poll showing Biden more competitive than H.

Then someone pointed out "since you didn't mention it" that Biden is also more competitive than Bernie. I responded that Biden is also better known than Bernie at this moment and as people get acquainted with Bernie they like him a lot. I also thanked this person for their concern.

Why did I post that in LBN? Glutton for punishment? Just asking for trouble?

I should just stay here.

......I've just decided, if Hillary wins the primary, still a very big if IMO, then i'm going to show up to the drop box in full gear and leashed, just to make a point.

As a college kid, I was walking briskly down the street in NYC in a leather swing coat and leather boots, thinking I looked stylish, and a man offered to do anything I told him to do. I was scared and naive. So I said, "Then, go away" and he did. True Story.

The one holding the leash will be quite nasty with anyone, rules and protocols and all
...and I somehow doubt I'm going to get a lot of positive attention looking like Junior Gorg cosplaying THE HUMUNGUS.


On further consideration given even youth and naivete, that's about the perfect response.

...don't want those outside of our group, to think that THEY are in charge and call the shots.

Besides, it ticks them off to hear a different view.

I refuse to STFU and do the Zombie March behind THEIR candidate because they command me to.

GO Bernie!
