26. Disclaimer; I voted for Biden in 2008

Jun 2019

because our union supported him.

Facts are facts folks, Kamala ate Joe's lunch. I said before Joe entered the race that he had an uphill battle, that he had a lot of skeletons in his closet. He spent so much time in politics he has a lot of votes and speeches that people can pick apart.

I honestly believe that Trump doesn't fear Biden, I believe that Trump fears running against a strong woman. I believe that Trump fears running against Kamala or Liz.

It's obvious that the right fears Kamala, while she was debating, bots and trolls were attacking her on social media. I don't see the same thing happening to Joe, yet.

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