Apr 2020

have enjoyed campaigns that lasted long - in 2008 and in 2016 - and felt that their votes counted.

Since I have already voted I cannot tell the voters in NJ, for example, or even in NY, that they should just accept the results of the early states.

I suppose it all comes to money. States are losing revenues so I can see that they would welcome the cancellation of the primaries..

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