No Biden won't and Bernie said he won't end it either. Bernie's idea is to use existing Autumn Sep 2019 #37

"Life would be easier ...". That's downright offensive! KPN Sep 2019 #40

I think we have a much better chance of retaking the Senate if Biden's the nominee. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #43

All level-headed, realistic and real Democrats also wish the same thing. NYMinute Sep 2019 #44

So everyone who isn't supporting Biden is what? Crazy, unrealistic, and a bunch of fake Dems? n/t TCJ70 Sep 2019 #45

Oh, good grief! NurseJackie Sep 2019 #46

Would you like to offer an alternative interpretation of his post? n/t TCJ70 Sep 2019 #50

No need. It's easy enough to take it at face value. What good purpose does it serve.... NurseJackie Sep 2019 #54

Let's break it down. TCJ70 Sep 2019 #56

That's NOT what they wrote. That's what YOU wrote. NurseJackie Sep 2019 #57

All people who love cats are generous, caring, and real animal lovers. NurseJackie Sep 2019 #58

Alrighty then. ehrnst Sep 2019 #63

Yes. That is also an inaccurate thing to say. What we're dealing with are if/then statements. TCJ70 Sep 2019 #66

You need to perhaps reexamine the logic. NYMinute Sep 2019 #71

It's interesting you have O'Rourke as your candidate...so I have a question: TCJ70 Sep 2019 #72

What? No comment on the content of my erudite post? NYMinute Sep 2019 #77

Thank you for (inadvertently?) answering the question. n/t TCJ70 Sep 2019 #86

It does nothing of the sort. NurseJackie Sep 2019 #75

One last post: TCJ70 Sep 2019 #76

I have no problems with it. I have thicker skin and tend to not imagine things that don't exist. NurseJackie Sep 2019 #81

NYMinute said you aren't one of those things since you aren't hoping Biden wins the primary.. TCJ70 Sep 2019 #83

You don't know that. NurseJackie Sep 2019 #84

OK. TCJ70 Sep 2019 #85

What a great memory! NurseJackie Sep 2019 #87

Sadly, some people don't get the simple statement NYMinute Sep 2019 #90

Especially after the GOP & Putin actually let loose oppo... after the primary... ehrnst Sep 2019 #102

You equate not being level-headed with being crazy? George II Sep 2019 #64

Maybe crazy is the wrong word. What alternative would you suggest? TCJ70 Sep 2019 #67

Weak journalism.. GeorgeGist Sep 2019 #47
