How will you vote in Tuesday’s presidential primary? Or if you’ve already voted, is your candidate still running?

    I appreciate Joe Biden’s service as Vice President. I agree with a lot of what Bernie has to say.

    But there is no doubt in my mind that the best President, and the best person to win the election in November, is our Senator Elizabeth Warren.

    Don’t let anybody tell you that your vote won’t matter if you vote for this amazing Senator, the only woman who had the staying power to make it to Super Tuesday.

    I’ll vote “Blue No Matter Who”, but as long as Elizabeth Warren is up for the fight, I’ll have her back. She’s earned it.

    I’m voting for Bernie hopefully to embarrass Warren in her own state and then assist the demise of the Democrat Party in the General Election.

    Warren because she is the most qualified person in the race and has a plan for everything.

    I’m curious if anyone participated in early voting but had their pick subsequently drop out of the race. Early voting is great for people who know they’ll be away on Election Day. But it’s not worth the risk of something happening after your vote is cast, whether it’s new facts coming out or, in this case, people dropping out.

    Joe Biden- best situated to build the coalition that will beat the idiot in chief. His time is over.

    I voted early and blew it. Oh, well. But my local vote still counts.

    While I would prefer Weld, I voted for Biden.

    Just remember that a vote for Sanders or a vote for Warren is basically a vote for Trump. It really is that simple.

      I voted Biden. Mainly because he carried the black vote and won in SC. I hope we have a presumptive nominee before the convention. This election is the first one after the DNC changed how superdelegates vote. If there is a presumotibe nominee, superdelegates cannot vote. If it’s contested, they can.

    I will be voting for Bernie because he has shown to be the true “big tent” candidate. I also believe he has the best shot of siphoning off voters in key rust-belt states that voted for the current President based on his (false) anti-politics as usual message. Biden is another Kerry I feel, he does not have the energy, nor enthusiasm in the party or the general public to bring the needed people out in key states.

    I have been all in for Biden from the start and am very please with the turn of events since Sunday. He is a good man and can restore some civility to this country.

    I was very disappointed to see Mayor Pete drop out on the eve of Super Tuesday. It doesn’t speak well of his willingness to dig and and fight for the nomination. I’ll be voting for Elizabeth Warren now, but her prospects for the nomination appear dim… as do the Democrat’s prospects for taking back the White House from Trump. Waiting for Gavin Newsom in 2024.

    Bryan and I agree on #PresidentWarren!

      I wonder how #PresidentWarren would have voted on Northland if she lived here.

    I’m all in on #PresidentWarren. If she were a man everyone would be getting out of the way for the clear choice.

    @ Chuck – you do remember Hillary Clinton? I guess, five years ago, we were a more evolved electorate? I can give you 20 reasons why Warren is not a good choice and none of them include her gender. ( However, she would have my enthusiastic support if she were nominated. )

    Oh yes, I forgot. We banished misogyny in 2016 just as we did away with racism in 2008.

    I voted absentee last week for one of the candidates who has since dropped out. Too bad. (Hint: That means I did NOT vote for Sanders.)

    I voted for Bernie bc everything will be Free when he wins. Warren is a liar. Biden has had so many gaffes there is no way he is intelligent enough to lead the country. I will vote Trump in Nov if Warren wins the nomination.

    I like former VP Biden and Senator Warren. I would happily vote for either one. But of all the remaining candidates, Bernie is the best bet moving forward. The others are too entrenched, too compromised, and too out of touch by comparison.
