But the hyper partisan nature of this forum is doing exactly what the republicans like. If almost anyone, even another Democratic candidate called pence a decent person, some of those here defending "their guy" would be all over them. As just pointed out, Biden himself realized how stupid and hurtful his remark was and walked it back.

Right now, I'm a Warren fan. If and when she says stupid things I will recognize that I'm not voting for a perfect embodiment of the Buddha here on earth. And if she says enough dumb things to make me think she will cost us the election or that indicate she is not ready for he job, I will switch. We have some running now that I will not support in the primary because of their history. We don't need to alienate other Democrats. That is a troll's job.

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