Out of curiosity who did you support in 16 Dem Primaries and who are you now supporting?

[Quixote1818]

I supported Sander but then went wholeheartedly to Hillary against Trump voting for her a month early. Now supporting Warren.


Just want to see who the Sanders and Hillary folks moved to this year. Obviously many Sanders voters will still support him.

[hay rick]

1. Sanders 16, Inslee 20. Warren now. nt

[dawg day]

2. I still support Hillary for 2016...

And I'm leaning towards Warren. What can I say... we have some amazingly brilliant women in the Democratic party.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

3. Sanders.

Voted for Hillary, but with great reluctance because I knew she was a terrible candidate, a terrible choice for the party. But to repeat myself, I voted for her.

I was a bit tempted not to fill in the bubble for the President on my ballot, since I live in NM and the state was inevitably going to go for her. However, I did vote for her.

Trust me, I am not even remotely supporting Sanders this year. I sort of doubt very many of his 2016 supporters are still with him. Maybe I'm wrong, but I suspect that those of his who were for him back then support him now. I could be wrong.

[Quixote1818]

6. If Warren wasn't in I would be supporting Sanders. nt

[Cha]

14. I don't think this is the place to Disparage

our Excellent 2016 Democratic Candidate for President.

[yardwork]

67. Hillary Clinton was an excellent candidate, and I'm proud to have supported her.

[SergeStorms]

4. Hillary.

Start to finish.

[Quixote1818]

5. Who are you supporting for 2020? Are you still undecided? nt

[woodsprite]

7. Sanders in primary 2016, Biden 2020

Same goes for my daughter. We both like Harris, Warren, or Abrams for VP.

For the general in 2016, Hillary. In 2020, any Dem that gets the nom, even if it's a one-eyed, three-legged tailess newt.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Sanders in the 16 Dem Primaries; Hilary in the General.

I started this season by supporting Sherrod Brown, and after he left, I floundered a bit and felt sad. I'd met him and he was so good. I think he did the right thing by staying in the Senate. We need him there!

I settled on Pete Buttigieg after seeing the March CNN Town Hall.

I often wonder why I pick long shots.

[caraher]

9. Sanders in 2016 primary

Though I'd have supported Warren in 2016 had she run

[SaschaHM]

10. Hillary 16.

Biden/Harris/Warren now, but willing to give anyone other than Williamson, Yang, Gabbard, and Sanders a chance. I'll probably go with the delegate leader by the time my primary comes around if it's lopsided.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Sanders in 2016, almost anybody but Sanders for 2020.

[NurseJackie]

35. ...

[HerbChestnut]

12. Sanders in 2016

Sanders is still my first choice in 2020, but Warren is a close #2. The decision on who to vote for will likely come down to who is further ahead and most likely to get the nomination by the time my state votes, which is later in the primary process.

[Garrett78]

33. Sanders has no shot at the nomination.

In 2016, it was clear early on that Sanders didn't have nearly enough support among Black voters, and the race was over by Super Tuesday. Sanders will be done even sooner in 2020. Forget about polls indicating he has a better chance than most. In reality, he has as much chance as those who have already dropped out.

[NurseJackie]

36. "In reality, he has as much chance as those who have already dropped out. "

In reality, he has as much chance as those who have already dropped out.

Perfect description and analysis.

[Garrett78]

57. Many seem to think the polls are, in effect, a clear indication of who...

...has the best chance, the 2nd best chance, the 3rd best chance, and so on. But that isn't the case. And not just because we're so far removed from voting (I should also add that early hypothetical match-up polls are also historically misleading--just ask President Dukakis). And not just because a huge percentage of people with a favorite are open to changing their mind. Demographics and the primary schedule (i.e., which states vote when) will have a lot to say about who becomes the nominee.

Plus, with Sanders being the one person in the field who sought the nomination in the most recent primary, we have actual recent election data regarding his prospects. That's worth far more than a poll 4+ months prior to voting (especially given the size of the field--most people aren't going to bother trying to distinguish between 20 candidates they've never heard of, and name recognition continues to rule the roost). What reason would there be to think Sanders is going to do much, much better than last time among Black voters? If he doesn't, he can't win the nomination.

[BlueMississippi]

49. Sanders campaign runs on small donations from the residue of supporters

and ego. It doesn't take into account banal and mundane things like voter preferences, delegate count and math.

There is this firm, albeit unrealistic, belief that by coming up with trillion dollar program after trillion dollar program and offering to tax every rich person to the hilt, the utopia of socialism will make people vote for him in droves.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

13. Ditto!

[W_HAMILTON]

15. 2016 Sanders ... 2020 NeverSanders, NeverTulsi, NeverGillibrand

I still haven't settled on who I will be voting for yet. I've switched between Buttigieg/Beto/Warren at some point. Assuming Warren pledges that she will not release her delegates to vote for Sanders in the event of a brokered convention, I will probably end up voting for her.

[rpannier]

16. O' Malley, then Sanders

Voted HRC

[BlueTsunami2018]

17. Bernie in 2016, Biden now.

I had no problem with Secretary Clinton generally, I just liked Bernie’s policy positions better and I still think he would have easily won the blue wall states we “lost” in the general. It was an election geared for his type of change. But I was more than happy to vote for Secretary Clinton and I still think she won. She was cheated.

This time is different. This isn’t a radical change election, this is a return to normality election. And so I’m for who I think is the best chance in that scenario, Joe Biden.

[Doreen]

18. Sanders and wish I hadn't.

[PatrickforO]

19. Sanders '16, Warren '20. I like Buttigieg too. n/t

[StevieM]

20. In 2016 I was with Hillary in both the primaries and the general election.

I am not sure who I will support in this election. I would love for Al Franken to enter the race.

[myohmy2]

21. Bernie in the 2016 primary...

...voted for Hillary...

...Bernie now...

...I'm basically a proud Socialist and Bernie fits me like a glove...

...

[relayerbob]

22. Well

In 2016, started off with Sanders until he started the scorched earth politics in the spring of 2016. Then, Hillary, but had the feeling from autumn 2015 that Trump would win either way.. This year, I'm open, prefer Warren slightly, also like Buttegieg and Beto and Biden.

[Wawannabe]

23. I don't reveal my vote

I wanted Biden but he was a no-show.
I support him now mostly because of the Obama legacy. I believe that he will govern close to Obama’s style.

I will vote for the nominee but I think Sanders should get out- he’s not a Democrat. I think Warren is way too polarizing to the other side.

The other candidates do not have enough support. It is highly unlikely they will receive the eventual nomination.

Biden 2020

[Liberty Belle]

24. Sanders in the primary, but now Warren.

Sanders is sounding too much like an angry old man. He lacks warmth and likability is important to getting elected. He should drop out and endorse Warren, and perhaps will once his poll numbers continue dropping as more people discover Warren.

Warren is close enough to Sanders on the issues, lacks the baggage of the "socialist" label, connects with voters including those in the midwest and hell, isn't it time we elect a woman since we were robbed of that last time around?

[CTyankee]

25. Sanders in Primary, then HRC in General in 2016.

Warren in Primary and General (hopefully) now.

[dchill]

26. Warren.

[nevergiveup]

27. Sanders in 2016

Am undecided now and still trying to figure out who has the best chance of beating Trump and at the same time has coattails in the close senate races.

[tblue37]

28. Sanders for 2016; Warren for 2020.

[Justitia]

29. Hillary in '16, now Harris (but I like several others, as well)

I am a true blue Dem & will enthusiastically support our eventual nominee.

[ZZenith]

30. Sanders, now Harris.

Sure were a lot of Bernie supporters in 2016.

Hmmmm...

[MattInMN]

31. I was Bernie curious...

...until the debates. I kept waiting for details on how he was going to pay for and make his idealistic plans work. I never got it. Switched to Hillary who was a true Democrat with real experience. I was not terribly enthusiastic, but she was the only real choice, since Biden chose not to run.

Biden missed his chance. Bernie and his Bernie bros never really helped Hillary after the primaries were over and called the primaries rigged when they didn't win. I have no love for either Bernie or Biden this year.

My ideal ticket is Harris - Warren. Harris has all the qualities I saw in Obama in 08. Ability, idealism, practicallity. Warren would be an excellent Veep with the drive and fight to get the government back on track while wrangling the room full of cats that is the Democratic Party.

[marlakay]

32. Sanders 16 Warren 20

I love her energy and we really need a woman to lead this country. Too much stuff has happened since Trump stalked Hillary at debates, all the women coming forward that have been abused, abortion and birth control a huge fight again, etc.

[TreasonousBastard]

34. O'Malley, then Hillary. This year my long shot choice is Amy, but, realistically, I hope...

Harris gets the nod.

I saw Sanders as a gadfly more than a real candidate, and I haven't changed my mind.

I do not want to see Warren, Harrs, et al, as Veep where they will have limited voice and always be subordinate to the President. They are far too valuable as Senators and if they are to be in a new Administration, it should be as cabinet officers where they will have authority to make changes.

[RandiFan1290]

37. Sanders 100% nt

[Funtatlaguy]

38. I did and am doing exactly what the OP is.

[TCJ70]

39. Sanders 16 - Warren 20

I was hoping Warren would have run last time and would have ended up supporting her if she had.

[IrishEyes]

40. Martin O'Malley then I switched to Hillary.

I'm undecided right now. I really like 4 candidates, like 6 candidates, don't care about 5 candidates and don't like 4 candidates.

[jcgoldie]

41. HRC in 16, Elizabeth in 20

[Demsrule86]

42. I voted for Sanders in Ohio but I liked both candidates but I

supported Hillary completely. I support Biden now.

[aikoaiko]

43. I didn't know you were a Sanders supporter. I'm impressed.

[Demsrule86]

47. I like Sanders...Later I got annoyed as primary heated up...but he is my second choice as he

is the only other candidate with a chance to deliver the rust belt.

[DesertRat]

44. Clinton. Harris.

[Amimnoch]

45. Martin O'Malley until he dropped, then Hillary in 2016.

Was Beto until a couple of weeks ago this time now in for Joe.

[jayfish]

46. Hillary

Sanders or Warren or both.

[question everything]

48. Hillary. Whic is why, when I read here that CNN found "0% converted to Sanders now"

my reaction is: this is news?

[BlueMTexpat]

63. ...

[BlueMississippi]

50. Clinton. Biden. They can call me "establishment" nt

[scheming daemons]

51. 2004 Dean, 2008 and 2012 Obama, 2016 Clinton, 2020.......

.....leaning Buttigieg, then Warren, then Biden, then Harris, then Klobuchar.

[Cha]

56. Dean Obama Obama Hillary Biden

[TidalWave46]

52. Tepid support for O'Malley at first.

Then all on board with Clinton.

[mahina]

53. Same as you, Sanders then Hillary. Now Warren.

[katmondoo]

54. I never supported Sanders and won't now. I love Elizabeth Warren

[Blue_true]

55. I supported Hillary. I am undecided now, but like Biden and Warren most. nt

[Malmsy]

58. I supported Bernie in the 2016 primary and leaning towards Warren now.

Kamala Harris is still very appealing, though.

[ismnotwasm]

59. Hillary

Harris now, but quite frankly I expect Biden to get the nomination.

[DrFunkenstein]

60. Gore-Kerry-Obama-Sanders-Warren

Truth be told, I loved what Nader was talking about in 2000, but I'm a Democrat to my bones. Very progressive as far as policy, but with a pragmatic streak.

Just like Warren.

[PETRUS]

61. I voted for Sanders in the 2016 primary.

There's a good chance I'll do it again this time, but I'm also considering Warren and waiting to see what's going on when my state holds its primary.

[BlueMTexpat]

62. I supported Hillary Clinton -

proudly - both in the primaries and the GE in 2016. I still consider her to be MY President.

I have never used that title for 45 and I never will.

In 2020, I was undecided at first as I liked several candidates (still do), then was torn between Warren and Harris. For the past couple months, I have been fully committed to Elizabeth Warren and will remain so unless or until another person is chosen as the Dem nominee. Then I will support the Dem nominee.

But I am convinced that it would be a very big mistake NOT to have Warren as the nominee. That conviction becomes stronger every day.

[Starry Messenger]

64. Hillary 16

I’m supporting Harris, but Warren is a close #2.

[tiredtoo]

65. Sanders-Warren EOM

[Celerity]

66. I was so hoping that Deval Patrick would run in 2016, then when he clearly was not going to,

I switched to Martin O'Malley. After he dropped out I voted for Clinton over Sanders in the primary, but was not thrilled with either, and then I obviously voted for Sec. Clinton in the general. Now, as you can see, I am a Buttigieg supporter, ever since I saw his first CNN Townhall, before he even had declared. If/when Pete drops out (it will not be before the CA primaries, so at least I get to vote for my favourite this time, lol) I will fully support Biden, unless, in the extreme unlike event he has a systemic collapse. I obviously will support whoever our Party nominates in the general.

I fucking HATE Trump and all Rethugs.

[Codeine]

68. Hillary. Harris. nt

[MustLoveBeagles]

69. I was for Bernie in the Primaries and Hillary in the general

This year it's Beto/Biden but I like most of our candidates.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

70. I still think Jim Webb has a shot.....

.

[Iggo]

71. 2016? Sanders. 2020? Everybody. (n/t)

[BlueWI]

72. Sanders in 2016. Strong for Inslee in 2020 till now.

Leaning Warren, and after that, a dead heat between Booker and Mayor Pete.

[RhodeIslandOne]

73. O'Malley

But he was long gone by Super Tuesday and I literally did not decide between Hillary and Bernie until my pen hit the paper and I voted Hillary.

[NCLefty]

74. Sanders in 16, secretly like Warren the most but I'm comfy with Biden.

If you like Sanders or Warren, you should be screaming about the senate (and volunteering/donating). They won't be able to do the Big Things they want without it. It just won't happen (and maybe not anyway, with moderates in there and such).

[bluedigger]

75. Sanders, and Sanders again.

[iscooterliberally]

76. 2012 - Warren for senate. I was living in Boston at the time.

2016 - Sanders, because Warren didn't run for president. I did vote early for Hillary in the general because I thought she would make a wonderful president. 2020 Warren again. I think she might be the smartest and most organized person in our country right now. If she's not the smartest, she's probably in the top 5. She's not perfect, but then no one is. She just seems to have a good well thought out answer for many of our problems as a nation.

* I had to add 2012 because I moved back to Florida and I am very excited that I get to voter for Warren again!

[Kahuna7]

77. Clinton/Biden nt

[get the red out]

78. Bernie '16 and Sanders '20

BUT I was fine with supporting Hillary in the GE. I'm like a yellow dog on steroids in the GE and proud of it.

[bigbrother05]

79. Sanders, then voted Dem in the GE

As noted, Undecided for now. A long way until the GA primary, so keeping an open mind.

Definitely Dem in the GE. Not quite a Yellow Dog, but damn close.

If it was a choice between Satan or Trump, might vote I or write in.

[Blue_Tires]

80. Sanders to Harris...

[phandancer917]

81. 2016

Early was for Martin O'Malley (MD Native) then (due to my wife's persuasion) moved to Sanders.....Voted for Clinton of course

2020 -- REALLY want Buttigieg- though I do not think he will survive until KY Primaries.

Wife is still a strong Sanders supporter. We even attended a Lexington Sanders Meetup last week - very excited group of folks. Will campaign for him if Buttigieg fails to gain.

[GreenPartyVoter]

82. Sanders/Warren
