This nurse is a friend of BS but may or may not have his ear. I just thought what she said was interesting in light of the current outbreak of COVID 19. In fact, I would be surprised if many others were not thinking the same thing. I said nothing about BS dropping out of the race or disenfranchising you or anyone else. But lets face reality, BS has less than one percent chance to win the nomination according to 538.com and BS is running 18 to 20 percentage points behind Biden in popularity polling. BS can and I am sure will stay in the race. But, if he does not. it does not mean you have been disenfranchised...it just gives you an opportunity to support a different candidate than the one you wanted.

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