Early-state Democrats await decisive primary blowFor the most part, the top-tier 2020 candidates have adhered closely to their original battle plans, feeling little pressure to improvise or change direction I'm enjoying getting to know about each Dem candidate. Each one has something(s) exceptional to offer. I say, we can't really go to wrong here, so let's continue to vet an listen to what they have to say. I'd be more upset if it was a choice between 3 people...like the GOP 😂 My goodness! The night of the living dead. WRONG. Joe Biden called the election. It’s President Sanders thank you very much.

If one wins this could be the last time Unions have a money making company to negotiate with. Let's be honest Dems are cheering for a recession. End of story
