8. I have respect for Bernie and what he said in that speech.

I understood what he was doing and what he said. I think he was speaking directly to progressives and his supporters as well.
I think the Biden supporters cannot understand it, so they did not hear it. That is okay, the people that needed to hear it, did and we will hear more of it at Sunday's debate. I have respect for Bernie. He deeply cares about voting OUT trump.

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