Boo. I hope there is a place for him in the Democratic POTUS' cabinet AllyCat Mar 2020 #1

He'd be great at Veterans Affairs Moderateguy Mar 2020 #7

Agreed Baked Potato Mar 2020 #54

Bet there were calls from the Biden campaign. They do want Amy and Warren... brush Mar 2020 #109

Are you saying Pete is not capable of making up his own mind? Moderateguy Mar 2020 #110

Don't be naive. That's how politics works. They both want to stop Sanders... brush Mar 2020 #114

I'm sad to see him leave and I hope that he also gets a cabinet position. TexasTowelie Mar 2020 #38

HUD Secretary? Jose Garcia Mar 2020 #39

Are we sure? Tweedy Mar 2020 #42

Here's where his votes go... LaurenOlimina Mar 2020 #4

His votes split pretty evenly being 3/4 anti-Biden. LaurenOlimina Mar 2020 #8

I have to laugh that the summaries of where his votes Steelrolled Mar 2020 #113

That's because it is a response to the proposition that they are FOR Biden which is the CW. LaurenOlimina Mar 2020 #118

So pretty much an even distribution amongst the other candidates Moderateguy Mar 2020 #12

Yup. His voters were anti Sanders and anti biden. LaurenOlimina Mar 2020 #17

Considering a lot of Bloomberg's supporters supported Biden until recently... Drunken Irishman Mar 2020 #53

Bloomberg is antibiden as well. LaurenOlimina Mar 2020 #73

I don't think you understand what the word anti means. Drunken Irishman Mar 2020 #81

That Even Distribution Must Translate into Being Anti Warren As Well Then. n/t Indykatie Mar 2020 #79

Yup. LaurenOlimina Mar 2020 #88

I don't see that. I'd think it would help Joe most, since Pete is a moderate. We'll see. apcalc Mar 2020 #32

But the polls say otherwise Moderateguy Mar 2020 #40

ha! LaurenOlimina Mar 2020 #89

It will HarlanPepper Mar 2020 #92

This is great news Gothmog Mar 2020 #5

It won't. Pete's supporters poll 2/3 anti-biden. LaurenOlimina Mar 2020 #13

Sure looks like 79% anti-Sanders. OilemFirchen Mar 2020 #43

+100000000 Celerity Mar 2020 #87

You could also characterize that as 36% anti-Sanders. Chemisse Mar 2020 #69

Yup. LaurenOlimina Mar 2020 #72

You keep posting that HarlanPepper Mar 2020 #90

I know right, but that is the general misconception. LaurenOlimina Mar 2020 #95

You posted an old poll. Things almost surely have changed. Blue_true Mar 2020 #99

Wow! blue-wave Mar 2020 #9

And young enough to be able to run in the next 10 Presidential Campaigns Moderateguy Mar 2020 #16

I hope someone takes him into the administration. LaurenOlimina Mar 2020 #23

I think his next step is to become Governor, Senator, or Congressman Algernon Moncrieff Mar 2020 #28

Needs to move out of Indiana first. Funtatlaguy Mar 2020 #44

Yes, get some legislative experience under his belt. apcalc Mar 2020 #55
