Mar 2020

Debate viewership shot up to over 30 million for both debates #9 & #10 during the week or two before Super Tuesday. Maybe like you said people were frantically trying to figure out who to vote for then. Then it dropped way down to only 11 million in the last one. Could be people have mostly decided now...or we're just reading too much into the numbers.

Doubt Joe would cancel if they do go ahead with yet another...Trump threatened to pull that shit in 2016 and we don't want Biden doing anything that resembles what that asshole would do.

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