Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: The notion that governors are delaying primaries to hurt the Democratic Party is insane bullshit. [View all]BidenBacker
(1,089 posts)37. 5 primaries postponed to date
all states run by Republican governors.
So I guess that means that Democratic ones are all uniformed or uncaring. Yeah, let's run with that.
Or maybe this virus is only breaking out in red states. Gold, Jerry!
Seriously though...I suspect that some Dem govs will indeed postpone soon. It would just be nice if they didn't do it either 1-1/2 days before their primary or 1-1/2 months. Apparently DeWine doesn't brake his car until he's only 2 feet away from a stopped one in front of him...and Hogan starts braking his 1/2 mile from a red light.
Not very good drivers, these Pubbies.

No, it is a dry run for the general...when they do it on a national scale. Fuck all Republicans.
