Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Pete Buttigieg expected 50 people at a Des Moines town hall. Over 1,600 people showed up.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/pete-buttigieg-expected-50-people-des-moines-town/story?id=62450521The momentum of presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg's campaign forced a Tuesday night town hall outdoors in Des Moines, Iowa, to accommodate a much larger than expected crowd.
The campaign expected about 50 people for its town hall at the gymnasium at Benjamin Franklin Junior High school in Des Moines. The school estimated 1,650 people showed up.
Buttigeig spoke briefly and for the second time Tuesday answered questions from the crowd. During his brief remarks, he mentioned that Electoral College should be abolished, saying that whoever gets the most votes should be elected to office. Should that have been the case in 2016, Democrat Hillary Clinton outpaced Donald Trump in the popular vote.

(3,981 posts)5. I've switched a couple of different times
The wording on the selection page is:
"If I were to vote in a presidential primary today, I would vote for..."
So tomorrow it might be someone else and same for the day after that.
It means nothing more than what I would do today.

I like Pete and will vote for him if he makes it to my primary.
FYI, Montana primaries are rather late in the process.

(10,014 posts)10. LOL! Expected only 50 people? In Des Moines Iowa? Really?
Attending campaign events is Des Moines Dems' favorite passtime.
