Deb, thanks so much for your comment. What you say is relevant and may all be true, but also may be undercut by the enthusiastic nature of the New Hampshire vote. There, with an actual election in front of them, voters seemed to brush away the cobwebs (age, Gaza, etc) and come down on the side of democracy and maybe women’s rights. We don’t know yet, exactly, but these seem most on Democrats’ minds. And the good economy may also be sinking in.
You may be right and I’ve shared many of the same fears. But I am heartened by New Hampshire moderate and Democrats’ choice. Let’s wait and see together how the next spate of primaries turn out.
While I agree Trump may be losing ground in the middle, I really fear those folks will choose to not vote rather than vote for Biden. Biden has achieved a lot for which he has not received appropriate credit, but his age is definitely working against him (as it should Trump, as well). I will vote for Biden, but I wish there was another- younger - choice. And the specter of a 3rd party candidate entering this summer remains a concern, as well..
