This debate is killing me.

I don't know with which candidate I am most angry.

Jeez guys, don't take the moderators' bait. Attack Trump - not each other.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I'm saying just what you are, it's up to everyone to decide what they think is a cheap shot vs what's a legitimate point.
