and crickets for the Senate. Bernie may, or may not, win. In my view. Those House races in 2018 were squeakers. Yes we won them all, but the last 10 or 11 results trickled in over a week or more by very slim, 300-4,000 vote margins. We didn't pay attention to it, the media didn't harp on it, but it was there.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

You should write to Sanders and advise him to stop using the term "Our Revolution". George II Feb 2020 #21

You should George. I encourage him to use the term "Our Revolution" Autumn Feb 2020 #22

Why did you say this? George II Feb 2020 #23

Because fighting for the working class and the poor should never be a revolutionary idea or Autumn Feb 2020 #25

But HE is calling it a revolution/revolutionary. That's why I suggested you ask him to stop. George II Feb 2020 #26

Don't be silly. All but like one of the Dem candidates is fighting for the working class and poor. ehrnst Feb 2020 #31
