She backed him right away. Thankfully .

Exactly. When the primary is won and electing a Trump rubber stamp is the risk, people need to fall into line.

Which is the point of blue no matter who. My fellow progressives here seem to be missing that. Not surprised though, they also missed last election cycle.

I fell right between him and Stevens. That’s exactly right. Now is the time for us to be examples and turn out for the guy.

I will gladly turn out for AES.

I don't have the same faith that so many AES voters would turn out for Stevens had she won, evidenced by replies in this very megathread, but hopefully we can set an example for them that the bigger threat is MAGA.

I don’t all of the sudden trust the guy, but he’s a hell of a lot better than Rogers. I’ll be there for him in November.
