Agreed. Hopefully nobody will try to cheat during the debates (like with Hillary), by giving debate questions to one candidate ahead of time. That really depressed voting (I think). I suspect everybody will be on their best behavior this election cycle.

I don’t want a bunch of people neglecting to vote because their guy didn’t win the primary. That tit for tat mentality is the kind of crap that loses the race for the Presidency.

Current New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio had a particularly dismal showing: He received the support of exactly zero respondents — not just zero percent rounding downward, but he lacked the support of even a single respondent.

Either way, all that’s gained or lost is money (as important as that may be in some cases). That is not the case with the Democratic Party’s selection process. There is a lot more to lose. It’s not just a matter of picking a candidate that best suits your own views. Any Democrat that could win would be better than Trump. The GOP has developed a way with slurs, ridicule, misinformation, and voter suppression that is hard to deal with. The GOP surely has a thick “book” on Biden and on Sanders already, making their job easier. In sports, when an opposing player’s or team’s strengths and weaknesses are known, it is a lot easier to attack or defend against he/she or them. So, I think the best candidate might well be one that is relatively unknown — like Obama was originally — with a running mate that can act as a bulldog to give the GOP as good or better than it can dish out.
