But, I have a different take on it than the talking heads who have been wrong so many times&#8230;and that is that not one of our candidates got a huge majority of votes because we have such a strong field of candidates and that the voters can see that any one of them would be a great president but the sorting process hasn&#8217;t happened yet&#8230;I think our side is being judicious and it is much harder picking someone when all of them are good&#8230;the ones that weren&#8217;t getting traction fell out last night just like they are supposed to, with Yang, and Bennett getting out of the race&#8230;this &#8220;weak&#8221; field is just more nonsense that the media is thinking up to make it a horserace so they have something to write about&#8230;we just need to remember that every damn one of our candidates beat the idiot boy by 5-12 points in the latest polling and even our &#8220;weak&#8221; candidates can win even before we coalesce behind the eventual nominee&#8230;.one last thing to remember is that this primary in NH set a record for dems as the biggest turnout ever&#8230;and the one thing we know is that when we vote, we win&#8230;so, hey pundits&#8230;I&#8217;ll allow you to steal my ideas if you want&#8230;they sure are a better take on politics than your nonsense&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well&#8230;holy crap I am tired of the frickin media getting it wrong again in this election season&#8230;just like they did in 2016&#8230;and the latest meme is that because Bernie or anyone else didn&#8217;t get all the votes, the dems have a &#8220;weak&#8221; field and they can&#8217;t beat the idiot trump&#8230;playing right into the Russian propaganda &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/?p=19685\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">A &#8220;weak&#8221; field?<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[2441,2440],"class_list":["post-19685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-dem-candidates","tag-nh-primary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19685"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19685\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19687,"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19685\/revisions\/19687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jamesdevol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
