    Voting uncommitted in a primary isn’t going to help Trump. After election, after election, after election, where we’ve been desperately trying to tell angry, fed-up voters that the time to express that is in the primary, and they have to vote against the worst candidate in the general election, turning around and telling them now that they can’t even vote how they want in the goddamn primary absolutely will help Trump.

      When have we said that?

      If that was said, I’m sure it was more about a Bernie v Biden issue. Certainly vote for who you want in the primary, but uncommitted isn’t a person.

      The fact is, this looks awful in the media. The headlines are all about “Is Biden in trouble?”

      The old expression holds true: Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.” Democrats are starting to hate Biden and may stay home. Meanwhile, swing votes see Democrats turning in Biden and turn themselves to Trump.
