5. Looks like it may come down to 'Do no Harm'

Identity politics may be coming back to bite itself in the bum. With the out sized media emphasis on this paradigm, I don't think the 'scandals' will end with Booker's private school and pharma coziness (neither of which benefit 'his' community) or Harris' social justice record (which might account for her performance out of the gate). Look what 'super predators' did to Clinton.

On a slightly different note, if Biden runs, are we going to heap up on 'old white men'?

It's a dangerous purity test that can be turned on just about anyone.

I agree with you on Super Tuesday though. It will winnow the field.

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