I so hate the idea of postponing the convention [View all]

I want this primary over. I am tired of this dragging on, and I am concerned that supporters of losing candidates will have their hopes raised cruelly by postponing the convention.

I'm sure that organizers and planners dealt with a lot of details that I'm not aware of, but I do wish that they had kept the same date and gone to teleconferencing, or other means.

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