whatever he calls himself except a Democrat.

As far as I was concerned, whatever the DNC did in 2016, which was leaked to the Wiki was needed and appropriate. I think, at the time, many Republicans wished that the RNC had done the same.

And for so many here to say but... he voted with the Democrats. So what? So far we were lucky that Republicans voting in our open primaries did not wreck the nomination process. But if there is a lesson it should two folds:

Only declared Democrats should seek the nomination (even if they just changed before announcing)

Two, if we can: no open primaries. Only Democrats should participate in Democratic primaries and caucuses (and, I suppose, only Republicans in theirs.)


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