I will support Joe, Kamala, Gavin...any solid Dem, but please DNC et. al. let's do our due diligence on how we get to the Win. And we must also remember the House, Senate and down ballot races. Americans sometimes seem to think the President is the one and only political power (especially during the campaign) who can almost do things by fiat but most of us know that is not even close to reality. Let's play to reality and play to win.
