Liz Warren is currently #3 in delegate count and she has been particularly nasty lately. I think with a little Super Tuesday encouragement (ie votes) that she’ll campaign dirty and help all contenders arrive mortally wounded at the Demonrat convention.

I was thinking similar today. Missouri votes a week from today. I'm still up in the air.
Lizzie's out, for all intents and purposes, but she is staying in long enough to work some sort of deal with either Bernie or Biden. Obviously not Bloomberg. I think the DNC wants her to stay in because it would help Bernie if she got out.

I was surprised at her anger in the last 2 debates. I’m not a psychiatrist but I call it cornered rat syndrome. She isn’t big, she isn’t mighty but then again who wants to get rabies or worse from a rat bite?

Easy- State of Confusion.

Very light turnout when I voted; one person ahead of me and one behind me. Cast what may have been my last vote for a D ever (unless that endangered species known as Blue Dog Democrats reappear). Voted Gabbard, hoping she hangs in a little longer and gets her chance to throw Bloomie a few punches.

She's not even in the debates anymore. She's basically a non-entity as far as the Democrats are concerned.

The hippies are out in force today, and they're usually at least vaguely likely to vote early. Heavy vibe of indecision, IMHO.

I was surprised at the turnout at my local precinct. I waited about 30 minutes to cast my ballot. There were more Republican candidates for President than I expected, most I've never heard of. I hope we can keep TX22 red this cycle.

VERY light turnout when I stopped to vote at around 10:00

I'm a registered Republican so I couldn't grab a Demo Primary ballot. Not sure I could've kept my breakfast down anyway.

One referendum in Maine having to do with vaccinations. As I understand it, up until fairly recently, vaccinations were not required before putting your kids in school.

Then last year (?) they changed the law and you have to show records of vaccination to register your kids at school.

Of course, the anti-vax types went apeshit and got a referendum on the ballot this year to repeal that law. Roadside signs are about ten to one for repeal. "Reject Big Pharma!" and "Restore Medical Freedom" are big favorites.

Of course "Big Pharma" and "Medical Freedom" have little or nothing to do with it. Nobody is saying "You must vaccinate your kids or face the consequences" they're just saying "If you want to put your little disease factories in public school rooms next to MY kids, vaccinate them."

Don't believe in vaccination? Fine, it's a free country, don't vaccinate them. Home school them or pony up for a private school that'll take the chance.

I wish she were, can't stand any of the remaining leading candidates for a host of reasons.

I'm glad she's not. Her winning the nomination I think would be the biggest threat to a Trump reelection.

^^^Truth spoken; would be a different race altogether in November. DJT still has my vote for the first Tuesday in November though. I live in VA, not easily forgetting what we had handed to us this year.

Eh, if Gabbard had won, can you imagine how many brave, uncompromising Dem heroes would've just sucked their thumb and stayed home on election day?

I hope they all stay home, nursing a 1.75L bottle of Jack Daniels until it's bone dry.

This right here, she was/is the biggest threat IMO, people like my Dad would vote for her because she is attractive. Make no mistake she is bad news for 2A supporters.

Is there any non-Trump candidate who ISN'T bad news for the Second Amendment?

Nope, none of them. Hope folks aren't misinterpreting me or my vote, I want them to keep fighting amongst themselves laying out the ugly truth of what they want to do to the brightest light for true freedom in the world, and where they are as a party for all to see on the public stage. And then Nov. 3, this nation votes a hearty "Hell no, not on my watch."

Proudly voted right after lunch and took the first steps toward sending Doug Jones back to the hole he crawled out of.

Sessions is almost certain to make the runoff, but I hope enough citizens of Alabama see him for the spineless weasel he is and support whoever is in the runoff against him.

I was trying to make the point (which I failed) her looks would deceive folks like my dad who base a lot on looks. And yes all are bad for the 2A, Bloomberg at the top.

Wife and I just voted here in Texas.

All the local contested races were well represented and as expected very light turnout.

I voted (Republican) in the early afternoon here (Dallas) and there were 4 times as many Democrats as Republicans voting. I actually only had a choice in 5 races: President, US Senator, US Representative; State Representative; and some State Supreme Court Justice. Every other race had only one name. There were 10 "opinion only" Propositions, too, some of which were very oddly-worded as negative sentences (where a "Yes" was a negative vote). (There were 6 or 7 names in the Presidential race, but the only one I ever heard of was President Trump.)

Anyway, I did my duty. Strange new way of voting this year: voter was issued a long strip of blank paper with a code printed at the top by the official with a little desk machine; this was inserted into a machine in the voting booth and a touch screen was used to make choices; when finished, the machine printed onto the blank strip a lot of stuff--bar codes and a list of choices in English; that ballot was then inserted into another machine to register the vote. I did verify that the printed info was what I had chosen--I can only hope that the bar codes said the same things.
