6. Then why even bother?

If they are tied, this one particular rally most likely won't move the needle much in terms of actual delegates awarded, so, why is he even doing this? Just to show that there are no bridges he won't burn?

4. There is no nice in a primary campaign, and there shouldn't be.

I love the small of angst in the morning.



Lighten up. It's a primary campaign, not a war. state? She can go to Vermont. Bloomberg campaigned there in Jan.

16. What do you think being nice has to do with campaigning in a primary? Other have gone to Vermont.

Bloom, Chasten Buttigieg, Joe Biden. Interesting fact: I didn't bring up the term nice. It was brought up here:

Because I swear it's your name on that post.
And that's the post I'm responding to, not the one pointing out that Bernie is trying to take down the woman he told that a woman can't win the presidency then called a liar during the debate.
Win at all costs, even if it destroys the party. Because not being nice smells like victory from your gif, I suppose.

She's been spending all her time attacking someone with no delegates, and going light on Bernie....

10. Fun fact: Bloomberg campaigned in Vermont in Jan. And going after bloomberg is a big plus

a double plus in my book. Biden has already campaigned there, so has Chasten Buttigieg. That must have been very unsettling to you.

9. Are there states that candidates aren't allowed to campaign in?
Thu Feb 27, 2020, 09:21 AM

Okay, this is a new one on me. I had no idea there was some sort of primary etiquette in which candidates shouldn’t campaign in one another’s home states.

Pretty sure nobody is coming to Delaware.
