how many people here on DU will call for the loser of the March 10th Michigan Primary to drop out of the race right now?

Will you be taking the pledge? Yes or No?

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

No - JustAnotherGen Mar 2020 #1

Fair enough. bluewater Mar 2020 #48

Not that anyone gives 2naSalit Mar 2020 #64

No problem, thanks for participating. bluewater Mar 2020 #65

I just think it's a decision the candidates should make on their own. 2naSalit Mar 2020 #66

Thanks again for participating. bluewater Mar 2020 #68

i give a shit about Montana JustAnotherGen Mar 2020 #70

Exactly. It's why I get on my soapbox 2naSalit Mar 2020 #71

Indeed. 2naSalit Mar 2020 #77

Immense insight, coupled with abundant humility. guillaumeb Mar 2020 #2

Very possibly. bluewater Mar 2020 #4

In Illinois, we vote March 17. guillaumeb Mar 2020 #8

I think our candidate will proably be dropping out before then. Sadly. bluewater Mar 2020 #23

Why on earth would 1 of 50 states make up your mind? AGeddy Mar 2020 #3

So I am putting you down as a "No". bluewater Mar 2020 #5

I'm calling for Bernie to drop out *NOW*. Michigan has no bearing one way or the other. AGeddy Mar 2020 #7

Deflection noted. bluewater Mar 2020 #14

Your post makes no sense. AGeddy Mar 2020 #19

But you won't say whether Joe should drop out if he loses Michigan. bluewater Mar 2020 #20

No, why would I call for the delegate leader to drop out? AGeddy Mar 2020 #22

Thanks for answering, you are a definite "no" then. bluewater Mar 2020 #25

There are 6 states that night. Michigan is one of them. AGeddy Mar 2020 #28

As stated previously, people have stated REPEATEDLY how important those Midwest states are in the GE bluewater Mar 2020 #42

Midwestern stateS (plural). Michigan is only one of them. AGeddy Mar 2020 #43

yep. got it. You are already put down as a "No" vote. bluewater Mar 2020 #46

No. I am a "Yes if Bernie, no if Joe" vote. AGeddy Mar 2020 #47

Got it. Good for the Goose BUT not the Gander. There's a special catagory for those votes. bluewater Mar 2020 #49

The "Goose-Gander" analogy only works if both are in an equal position going in AGeddy Mar 2020 #50

Ad Hominem attack noted. bluewater Mar 2020 #51

When you make bad faith arguments, it isn't an ad hominem attack to point it out AGeddy Mar 2020 #52

+++ typical flamebaiting that is common among some still_one Mar 2020 #57

No flamebaiting at all. I took the pledge and I meant it. bluewater Mar 2020 #63

Honestly, I am surprised at the responses from Biden supporters so far, they have all said "No". bluewater Mar 2020 #10

If Sanders loses he should drop out as he has no path forward. Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #74

I don't think anyone is dropping out now.. Moderateguy Mar 2020 #9

Its about posters here on DU, not the candidates. bluewater Mar 2020 #11

I did not want any of them to drop out... Moderateguy Mar 2020 #13

Fair enough. You are a definite "no" then. bluewater Mar 2020 #21

I'm not so sure. Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #12

So I am putting you down as a "no" for now then. bluewater Mar 2020 #16

So are you willing to take the Pledge I just did? Ad Hominem attacks are just delefections. bluewater Mar 2020 #18

Biden doesn't need to win Michigan NYMinute Mar 2020 #17

You know, we're about down to just two primary candidates, now. MineralMan Mar 2020 #24

A candidate than can't win the industrial Mid-West should drop out. bluewater Mar 2020 #27

If Bernie loses, yes... SidDithers Mar 2020 #26

BZZZT. Sorry but you can't play this both ways. bluewater Mar 2020 #31

Your pretense is totally adorable. LanternWaste Mar 2020 #32

Ad hominem attacks... the white flag of surrender in a discussion. bluewater Mar 2020 #36

Alright. Play your game... SidDithers Mar 2020 #37

Hey, it's in fun and yet serious. bluewater Mar 2020 #45

If the two candidates were tied, your question might make a LITTLE bit of sense... AGeddy Mar 2020 #38

Patting oneself on the back from a correct guess or two is some righteous beef, man. LanternWaste Mar 2020 #29

So all you have is ad hominem attacks? lol Take the pledge! bluewater Mar 2020 #33

I think Pennsylvania is a bellweather. In any case no one should drop on the basis one state. apcalc Mar 2020 #30

Fair enough. bluewater Mar 2020 #34

So here's the remaining primaries schedule - 28 states left, 6 on March 10th: onetexan Mar 2020 #35

No problem. You are a straight forward "No" vote. bluewater Mar 2020 #39

Help me out, Do you know the name of the Clinton's cat? bluewater Mar 2020 #87

the next person to drop out should do so only if there is no path forward for them iwannaknow Mar 2020 #82

I want the race to continue until there is an undeniable signal. Blue_true Mar 2020 #83

Illeism notwithstanding there is a flaw in the logic NCProgressive Mar 2020 #84
