There are a lot of candidates in the race for president. Here's how to approach this.
First, make a commitment to vote for the eventual Democratic candidate. I'm old enough to remember when there were two legitimate major political parties in the country with competing, but valid, governing philosophies. Sadly, with their endorsement of Trump --
