re: #143 Belafon

I looked it as “Quit fretting right now over the Democrats are going to tear each other apart by picking the wrong candidate.” Most people havent’ decided on Bernie, Joe, Beto, Pete, Liz, Kamala, Amy, or any of the others.

When the Republicans had 17 candidates, they ended up with Trump, the candidate with the fewest qualifications and the worst temperament. When Chicago faced 14 candidates for mayor this year, the finalists for the general election received 17.5% and 16% in the primary, well less than 50%. Basically 2/3 of primary voters preferred someone else Fortunately for Chicago, both women were highly qualified, but whenever there are too many candidates, anything is possible — especially if there isn’t at least a runoff to reach 50%. The worst can win if voting is too fragmented.

Let’s hope the Democrats are wiser than the Republicans. Certainly our candidates (with the exception of Bernie, Tulsi, and Williamson) are far superior to almost all presented to the Republicans.
