I have no idea who wants to investigate endlessly about what people did in High School.


Go back and look at the Kavanaugh hearing for your answer.

There was no real proof of those allegations and some people involved in the process knew that but tried to kill his nomination with the allegation in spite of that. had they been credible, it would have been fair to look into them.

To be fair, I would be much more concerned about the actions of a high school student--say that this candidate made a sexual attack on someone--than what they wrote. It is very easy to be extremely liberal, or even socialist, in your thoughts when you are looking at having to work hard for 45 years or so once you get out of high school and don't have any clue how you will end up. Over time, views do change in some ways. Sometimes large ways; sometimes small ones.

I am much more worried about his positions now.

LOLOL! You have nothing else in your
life to worry about than completely
unproven allegations from decades
ago? Really? I mean REALLY???
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

He's talking about Buttigieg.

Victim testimony is not evidence?

Alleged victim testimony. Then you get in to credibility of the alleged victim, witnesses, corroboration, etc.

By the way, the leader in the popular vote so far among the Democrats in the 4 primaries? Joe Biden.

The narrative that by doing well in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada that the election is wrapped up is silly.
Just why the system is set up for two White states to be first.....
If the heavily African American Democrat states would be first would we be talking about Biden winning easily?

It appears Sanders will eventually go into the convention with a plurality...... I'm wondering how much of a lead the powers that be would feel comfortable not giving him the nomination? I think if has more than 40% of the delegates they'd have to nominate him. I don't expect him to get that high.

Looks like Pete is out. He's suspending his campaign. Seems a low chance it could be anything else.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Not official yet but lots of reports. Do you think he will endorse any of the remaining candidates now? Or just wait until the process comes to an end at the DNC and join the anti-Trump efforts?

Best case scenario is Biden, Warren, and Sanders are left. Warren and Sanders split the 30-35% extremists while Biden and Bloomberg would split the rest. Unfortunately for Biden, Bloomberg might hang around until the end.

Pete Buttigieg is ending his presidential bid, a campaign aide confirmed Sunday to CNN. He has secured a place in the history books. I am guessing he will get a job at MSNBC or CNN.

Klobochur won't quit until after Tuesday as she wants to win in Minnesota. IDK about Warren. I am guessing she is not going to quit tomorrow.

Now comes the big argument. Sanders will California and Texas, but in the general election that doesn't matter since a glass of water would beat Trump in Calfiornia, and nobody is going to beat Trump in Texas.

Biden is slated to win the battleground state of North Carolina on Tuesday in what may be his only win that day.

A lot is riding on who wins the the battleground states.

March 3
North Carolina

March 10
Michigan primary

March 17
Arizona primary
Florida primary

April 7
Wisconsin primary

April 28
Pennsylvania primary

If Biden wins all those primaries and he is not the candidate for POTUS, and he does not accept a VP offer, then a low turnout means a certain Democratic loss.
